# Stuck syncing – cannot complete sync no matter what I do

 *  Resolved [jeppe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeppeskovsgaard/)

 * Like many others I have a lot of trouble using this plugin. Seems like the syncing
   process is built in a very unstable way.
 * No matter what I do your plugin stops syncing efter x time (seems random). I 
   reinstalled the plugin yesterday, following the instructions on Mailchimp.com
   carefully, and pressed re-sync.
 * In the re-installation process the plugin behaved really weird. All tabs except“
   Connect” suddenly disappeared. The API key was still there, but pressing “Save
   all changes” got me an empty error message. [See screenshot.](http://www.skovsgaardgrafisk.dk/public_html/upload/weird-error.jpg)
   I wasn’t able to deactivate the plugin though the GUI neither WP CLI but after
   some time the tabs reappeared again.
 * It has synced all the 204 products but is now stuck at 246 orders. I have 2744
   orders dating back to september 2017.
 * 24 hours have passed now, and it’s still stuck at 246 orders. Though I can see
   in the logs that the plugin does pick up a lot of `abandoned_cart.success`, `
   order_submit.success`, `product_submit.success` and more just a few hours ago.
   It just doesn’t sync to Mailchimp so that Mailchimp can send the emails.
 * What I’ve tried:
    - Disconnect site and re-installed the plugin with a new API key following the
      instructions om Mailchimp.com
    - Re-sync after reinstalling
 * **Log errors**
    For GDPR reasons and personal privacy I cannot provide you with
   a full log, but I have picked different issues that appears a lot in the logs:

 * (Here it goes on and on with product 0 does not exist).
 * “Syncing list” in the Mailchimp control panel just keeps spinning. My guess is,
   that it’s waiting for the website for more data. [See screnshot.](http://www.skovsgaardgrafisk.dk/public_html/upload/mailchimp-stuck.png)
 * Please note that I’m using **WooCommerce Subscriptions**, which runs it’s own
   cron jobs once a month, and it’s very important that any fix does not mess that
   up. The fix I have seen mentioned in other threads worries me in that regard.
 * **Details about the site:**
    – WooCommerce version: 3.4.4 – WordPress version:
   4.9.8 – PHP version: 7.2.9 – Memory limit: 768 MB – PHP time limit: 120 – PHP
   max input variables: 1000 – Theme: Storefront (with a child theme)
 * **Hosting**
    Siteground GoGeek – Static caching enabled – Dynamic caching enabled–
   Memcached enabled
 * Siteground recommends cron jobs running no less than every 30 minutes. I’m not
   sure if that is an actual 30 min. cap or just a recommendation.
 * **Notable plugins installed**
    – WP Rocket – [Mailchimp for WP by “ibericode”](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/)–
   WooCommerce Subscriptions

 * [@jeppeskovsgaard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeppeskovsgaard/) sorry
   for the delay on getting back to you on this one. If the store is still in a ‘
   syncing state’ that’s why the abandoned cart messages are not going out. That
   being said, you shouldn’t be in a syncing state at this point because it should
   have completed.
 * I wonder if you need to do a re-sync with the new plugin in play (2.1.10)? If
   it’s still stuck – or if you are seeing different errors in your plugin logs,
   it could actually have to do with the rate limits I mentioned earlier… and we’re
   actively working on a fix for that in 2.1.11 which is our next iteration.
 * Can you provide any other logs from the most recent date that might help diagnose
   where you’re at currently?
