 * In the meantime some general tips we’ve found help to speed up the syncing process,
   you can try the following solutions:
    1. Increase server resources: Make sure your server has enough memory and processing
       power to handle the syncing process efficiently. Consider upgrading your server
       or optimizing its configuration to handle the load.
    2. Upgrade PHP version: Updating to a newer version of PHP can improve the performance
       of your WooCommerce store and the syncing process. Check if you’re using the
       latest stable version of PHP and consider upgrading if necessary.
    3. Use WP CLI syncing engine: For a store of your scale, it’s recommended to use
       the WP CLI syncing engine. This advanced queue setup can significantly improve
       the syncing speed. You can find detailed instructions on how to set it up in
       the [MailChimp for WooCommerce plugin’s GitHub page.](https://github.com/mailchimp/mc-woocommerce/wiki/Advanced-Queue-Setup-In-CLI-mode)
    4. Check Action Scheduler queue: Inspect the Action Scheduler queue for any failed
       jobs. Go to WooCommerce -> Status -> Scheduled Actions and look for any failed
       jobs. If you find any, manually execute these jobs from the failed queue to 
       resume synchronization.
 * By implementing these solutions, you should be able to speed up the syncing process
   and reduce the time it takes to sync your store. If you need further assistance,
   feel free to ask!

 * [@onepoundcrisps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onepoundcrisps/) Thanks
   for providing the information.
 * After taking a look at the store we were able to confirm as mentioned that the
   slink is slowly progressing but successfully moving along.
 * We advise to the use the WP-CLI method to add a bit more speed to the amount 
   it takes for the Action Schedular to process jobs.
 * We have documentation on our [Github wiki page here ](https://dental-co.gr/shop/)
 * It also may be necessary to complete a plugin audit by disabling each plugin 
   possible to see if that helps uncover any plugin conflicts with the Mailchimp
   plugin.

 * hi not 100% sure how to run the action scheduler via command line.
 * can you provide the line of code needed to copy into terminal so it can run as
   not sure on the documentation

 * [@onepoundcrisps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onepoundcrisps/) Totally
   understandable. Using the Advanced Queue Setup with WP-CLI is not as straight
   forward as running a terminal command. However, I’ll do my best to break down
   what needs to be done.
 * According to the documentation under the Preparation heading it require removing“
   Redundant Constants” what you’ll need to do here is find the install files on
   your server where WordPress lives. A typical install will show these files under“
   public_html” once you find the installation files. doing a command of
 * `ls`
 * Will show the files of the WordPress install.
 * The goals to edit the wp-config.php file which requires knowledge of how to edit
   a file on a server. Unless your hosting provider has provided you with SFTP access
   to visually locate the file and edit it.
 * Once the file is open see if you see the “Redundant Constants”
 * Next Running the queue process
 * This requires a bit more advanced knowledge of how your server and WordPress 
   file directories. I can’t provide specific instructions but as per our documentation,
   you’ll need to find the path to the WordPress install from the root directory.
   This can be found by using the “pwd” command which means print working directory.
 * Once you have that path you can replace the example text with the proper information
   for you site. in order to run the queue process.
 * While it’s very understandable how advanced this is and the necessity to solve
   the problem of how to speed up the sync. We provide this tool to be compatible
   with virtually any install but it requires to be applied as necessary to fit 
   your particular circumstance.
 * If the information I’ve provided is still not as helpful we recommend reaching
   out to a [Mailchimp Expert ](https://mailchimp.com/find-an-expert/?availability=1)
   or a [WooCommerce Expert ](https://partners.woocommerce.com/English/marketplace/)
   for some advanced server management help.

 * no solution as yet to this there must be a way to import the records quicker 
   than currently via the plugin.

 * The best solution to gain an efficient sync process would be to use our recommended
   approach of using the CLI method.
 * It’s important to note that it is still possible to use the Mailchimp feature
   set for marketing campaigns from your account while sync is still process.
 * While it’s understandable the advanced nature of the CLI method and encourage
   reaching out to a 3rd party WooCommerce/Wordpress developer with server administration
   skills.

   for getting back to us with the additional details about using the CLI method.
   I’ll get with one of my colleagues for insight on how to move forward to a solution.
   Thanks for your patience.

 * Thanks for your patience in the matter.
 * I was able to run a few test using the Advance Queue CLI Mode(AQS) and was unable
   to replicate this type of behavior.
 * However, if there is trouble running the CLI mode, could you provide a readout
   of what occurs when running the command?
 * Lastly could you provide us with an example of the command that ran exactly on
   your server. Again if you feel as though that should be private information[ feel free to use our form again.](https://us19.list-manage.com/contact-form?u=23393bbfd548fd02398cbdb45&form_id=5872c17f90ff9e852e7b68057aa0b64e)
