In this case I am getting this error…. https://snipboard.io/AJFwju.jpg

Yes, in the Organizer, there is a folder hierarchy matching the Lightroom Publisher. The issue is with the uploads stalling and producing the error seen in the screenshot link above.

Not related to this instance, this error has appeared in the PHP error log on a couple of occasions.

[28-Jan-2022 16:34:11 UTC] WordPress database error Duplicate key name ‘id’ for query ALTER TABLE wp_lrsync_relations ADD UNIQUE KEY id (wp_col_id,wp_id) made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), wp, WP->main, WP->parse_request, do_action_ref_array(‘parse_request’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, rest_api_loaded, WP_REST_Server->serve_request, WP_REST_Server->dispatch, WP_REST_Server->respond_to_request, Meow_WPLR_Sync_Rest->rest_clean, meow_wplrsync_activate, dbDelta

Thank you for this information.

While, I think you are correct that the ‘Time Out’ issues are WP/LR problems, there also seems to be some issues with your plugins.

First, I am using it on two sites, on two different hosts. One is a ‘shared’ account, the other is a ‘virtual machine’ account. (much faster)

The problem that I am describing is happening on both.

1. Successful uploads from WP/LR are not populating the folder structure, and there doesn’t appear to be any way to manually do that as I don’t have permissions to edit anything in the folder structure. (I am the only user, and am the administrator)

2. When I create a new folder in Lightroom, it is created in your folder structure. Images sometimes appear, but sometimes do not.

3. If I make a spelling error in Lightroom, and correct it, the corrections do not update online. And, there is no way to manually correct.

I am attaching two screen shot links, one showing the media library, the other the Lightroom publishing screen.

Thanks.

https://snipboard.io/bHqTVi.jpg <— this is the Media Library. Note the image ‘Sidewalk Art Show’. This image was just uploaded as a test. In WP/LR it appeared to work correctly, and the image file is correct here, and the files appear on the server. It should be listed in a 2019 folder on the left, but as you can see, that folder doesn’t even exist.

https://snipboard.io/3Mi5FS.jpg <— this is the same photo in the Lightroom Publisher for WP/LR. As you can see, there are many other folders with images that do not appear in the Media Library folder structure.

https://snipboard.io/w04hfx.jpg <— this is the other site with a similar problem. I’ve been working on this to completely reorganize it, so there is not much here now, but as you can see, some images have populated folders, while another, ‘Yard Art’ did not. My process for this was to completely delete everything in Lightroom, and rebuild the structure from scratch. It has not been very successful, mostly due to the ‘time out’ problems mentioned earlier.

https://snipboard.io/rebca4.jpg <— this is the Lightroom page for that server.

I hope this makes sense. I’ve been using these plugins successfully up to recently. Something somewhere here has gone drastically wrong.

Follow-up on my previous reply……

Right after I posted the reply, the process failed again. I’m beginning to think it is a problem with the host, which is a shared environment.

Additionally, I tested on a different site, which is on a much better, virtual machine, host, and everything worked perfectly.

However, on that installation, the folder structure does not work at all. It shows the added folders, but does not list the contents. And, it won’t allow me to add or change anything manually.

Thanks for the quick response, but I don’t understand?

I have..

1. WP/LR Sync Folders with Real Media Library.
2. Real Media Library.
3. Photo engine (WP/LR Sync).

When I deactivate #1 & #2, it seems to work, although I keep having a problem with one gallery, which produces the error, but still uploads the images.

I’m testing some more galleries.

If I need to post to WP/LR, where is that? I don’t see any reference to a forum for it?

Ben, thanks for the quick response.

I found your theme via the website, https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/

I like many of the pages on this site, but the blog was the only one with a reference to the theme used.

I guess I understand now the approach you are taking to only publish an ‘excerpt’ of the post. In the redesign of my site, I have been trying to source my all of my photos from Envira gallery, as their plugin for Adobe Lightroom is essential to my workflow.

When I tried to choose a ‘Featured’ photo, choosing the ‘photos on this post’ option did not produce any results.

My posts have several different types of photo content. Some are individual photos, some are galleries, some are albums of photos.

I think I will consider your method, and give it another try.

Thanks for the responses.

I agree, the ‘Home’ item in the menu is doing exactly what I want. I had just hoped that there might be a simple solution such as adding some ‘additional CSS’as I did to center the header.

Thank you for this information. I had read the linked page and did not deduce the use of “.site-branding” from it. It worked, of course. Now, what do I use for the menu bar? ?? How do I learn this basic stuff?

My choice of Lucinda Sans was merely an attempt to synchronize the fonts. I would prefer something like Optima, but that does not appear to be available from Google.

Thank you.
