Nothing gets imported #11

Closed remkus closed 6 years ago

remkus commented 10 years ago

I've tried various settings but I can't import anything. Whatever date I put in there it tells me there's nothing to import. Only exception was when I had not yet activated my settings and cron apparently already imported the three latest. However, I can't reproduce that. I suppose I don't have a small Instagram account, but I know plenty who have bigger ;)

I have activated and turned on the debug plugin but I'm little lost on what it should do. How can I provide you with better info?

Hmm yah, after the latest release, I switched the plugin to grab/import photos in chunks of 3 via ajax. This is better performance, but it runs into problems when trying to import older photos if something fails. Anyway, try deleting (and emptying the trash) all the imported posts so far. Then right-click->open in a new tab/window on the import button. This should bypass the ajax, and import it via the original method. I THINK this will yield better results. Let me know.

Thanks for the prompt reply Justin :) Did what you told me, but it just imported one. Repeated the proces, but still just one.

So here's where it gets funky. I just went ahead and published a new Instagram image and ran the procedure again. Now it is importing all.

Tried to reproduce the steps but no luck. I'm back to importing just the new one I post. Weird behaviour :)

jtsternberg commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure I completely understand. Have you gotten it to import all of your photos, and now it's not importing new ones? Or is it importing new ones, but not going back to import older ones?

remkus commented 10 years ago

It did. But when I tried to do it again (on a different WP site, same server) it will not import more than two. No matter which routine I try.

Occasionally Instagram's API will hiccup and cause these types of problems. Unfortunately they don't have an api status page to check if that's what's going on. I would love to dive in right now, but just can't. Can you email me with specifics and I'll try to take a look at it later? http://dsgnwrks.pro/connect

Sure, just sent you an email. Cheers.
