Finally it worked. I had to clean the database from posts without featured images (due to the former error, see above) and that’s it.

GREAT! All my pins are imported.

Just to let the world know: with ver. 0.2.4 it’s possible to import even thousands of pins! Just do it step by step!

Thanks a lot!

As i’m importing since the weekend and it’s done for 98% (estimated) i’d like to avoid beginning a new import from zero.

The problem: due to the former “Error while setting post thumbnail ….” some imported boards are missing one or two pins. But i don’t know which ones. If i cache a board the plugin shows me which pins are already imported and which ones are missing. That’s the reason why i try to cache all of them. Just to get the few missing ones ….

1) set_time_limit(60); does help a little bit further.

2) I replaced the code but don’t see any changes.

3) Some remarks on my last workflow: the “needs cache refresh”-dialogue shows 198 boards on 10 pages. Step by step i chached page per page. 9 out of 10 are beeing cached sucessfully. Due to increasing the time limit (see above). But when i tried to chache the last one ….. *grmpf* i get an “500 internal server error”.

Now it’s impossible to call the import dialogue. Shall i wait for 180 minutes or is there another way to delete the session?

Difficult to say. Felt a little bit faster and problems occur later!

After caching nearly half of my pins i get “Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in …/plugins/pinterest-importer/pinim-tool-page.php on line 1082” messages. As i’m importing from a hosted wordpress this time i can’t increase “max_execution_time”.

Will try again from a local lamp….

Yes! It does! ?? Not a single error message. Thanks!

thanks! still trying, looks good so far …. but analyzing a new problem (for which i will open a new threat)

aah, ok. Thanks!

thanks!

So you don’t have performances issues anymore ?

The performance issues are still a topic. But i try to split the import into parts that doesn’t slow down the plugin too much …

I don’t cache ALL boards at once. But if the pins of the cached boards (for example the first 10 boards) are imported i add further boards (10) for caching. And with every new board the plugin gets slower ….

So, if i understood you right, i shall cache for example 10 boards, import the pins, DELETE the cache and start with another 10 boards. Right?

I have to remember which boards have been cached and imported already. Right?

If i import pin by mistake which are imported already the plugin recognizes this and doesn’t create duplicates. Right?

Thanks a lot

3) i can’t set “php_value allow_url_fopen On” as this is not allowed by my provider ??

i can’t do it in my “.htaccess” …. but in the backend given to me by my provider! Now it works ??

@markamp ??

1) set “define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);” to “true” ??
2) now i get

[11-May-2015 08:26:08 UTC] PHP Warning: getimagesize(): https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in .../pinterest-importer/pinim-functions.php on line 143

3) i can’t set “php_value allow_url_fopen On” as this is not allowed by my provider ??

just to let you know….

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

First i chached all pins shown under “needs cache refresh”. I did this in several steps. And with every single step using your interface was getting slower. So i guess you’re right with “maybe the cache is too big”.

Today i choosed another workflow on a wordpress installation hosted by a provider:

1) Under “needs cache refresh” i pressed “Cache All Pins”. This works well and quick
2) Then i tried to import some pins shown in “pended”

But with this wordpress installation i always get “Error while setting post thumbnail: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/…..jpg”.

The posts are created but the images are missing.

I disabled all plugins and choosed “Twenty Fifteen” as theme but no chance: it doesn’t import a single image

Any idea?

In the evening i will give it another try with my first environment. More feedback tomorrow ….

Marc

i’ll give it a try. thanks a lot
