Unable to unzip export #8

Closed marcomediastudio closed 5 years ago

marcomediastudio commented 5 years ago

I had success in zipping the file or so I thought so, but when I try to unzip the file, it does not work. How or what are people using to import the images from the zip file into the WP site?

Thanks for your help.

How big is the zipped file?

This plugin is just meant to export all the images, it doesn't do any importing. I think there are other plugins that do that.

130MB Was wondering if maybe the plug in was making errors with others on bad zip files? And do you recommend any good importing plug in? thanks

What are you using to unzip the file? Someone else was also having problems with unzipping the file, see the suggestion to try 7-zip here: https://github.com/massedge/wordpress-plugin-export-media-library/issues/5#issuecomment-469114158

Are you also on Windows and what version?

Sorry, I'm don't know which plugin to suggest. In theory, if you unzip this file, you can drag/drop files directly into your new media library and they should upload fine.

I've updated the plugin to version 2.2.0. Give it a try and let me know if it helps with your issue.

Closing due to lack of response.

I have a similar issue with unzipping. tried with 7zip as well. it's just not working. My media lib has more than 3GB images.

How big is the zip export file? What version is the plugin? What php version are you running? What hosting provider are you using?

How big is the zip export file: It should be about 2-3GB, but its creating a 160MB invalid zip What version is the plugin: Version 1.0.1 What PHP version are you running: PHP 5.4.45 What hosting provider are you using: Hostgator

Please check this, I have also tried the same on my local dev env, with PHP 7.0 and plugin Version 2.2.0. No success

It's probably throwing some sort of an error, but it's hard to know what it could be since I didn't create a very robust logging system. If it's not too sensitive, you can share the zip file with me somewhere and I can take a look at it, otherwise, you can open the zip file in some sort of a text editor and see if there is some sort of text/error message at the bottom of the file.
