    Hello and thank you for this amazing plugin.

    I’m having a bit of trouble migrating alt text from the media library to posts using Insert Fixit Tools v1.16. I’m getting an error message: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded. I’ve tried increasing the PHP max time limit, but it’s still timing out after 30 seconds. Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the positive feedback and for your report.

    Increasing the timeout would be the best fix. I have done this by adding something like @ini_set('max_execution_time','300'); to the wp-config.php file or by adding max_execution_time = 300 directly to the php.ini file. If neither of those are working for you I suggest contacting your hosting support to find a solution.

    If that cannot be done, you can use the “First Post/Page ID” and “Last Post/Page ID” fields to break up the processing into ranges of ID values. You should be able to find “chunks” of posts to update that can be completed in the time you have. You can also try the “Refresh Caches” tools at the bottom of the page to break the overall processing up a bit more.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the above suggestions. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

    Thank you David, I will give your suggestions a try. For what it’s worth, I contacted my hosting support before I posted here. While they tried for a couple of hours, they were unable to resolve the issue.

    Keep up the great work, and have a great day!
