The exact error after the timeout:
Bad RequestYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.Cookie
/n
Oh get over yourself. The bug has been reported.
But if a developers attitude is being so petty over nonsense I wonder if it is even worth using the plugin still…
Bad service.. you need to get of the high horse and rather help!@speedi626 – Sure, will do.
@speedi626 – Correct, that is why I added my experience to perhaps clarify your problem as well as it is exactly the same problem.
I merely added the circumstances under which the error occurs, explained it a little better and would also like feedback here to that problem.@photocrati/Cais – Please read above. I am not creating a duplicate of the same issue..
“Duplicate postings will be closed or deleted.”
My topic will be the same as the topic here: “Retrying in 30 seconds; host might be throttling”Why? This is exactly the same error and relevant in both instances?
Can we please have the answer to this issue in public. Been battling for days with this and I see I am not the only one.
From what I can see is that every thumbnail that is missing, Nextgen creates a cookie that needs to be refreshed after the thumbnail is regenerated. That all overloads the header and the browser kinda “bombs out” not being able to read all the cookies and then gives the “Retrying in 30 seconds; host might be throttling” and then the bad cookie error.
It happens with both functions of “Create new Thumbnails” and “Scan folder for new images”.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Staff Directory] Addition to basic shortcodesAlso would like to know if this might happen. From all the various plugins I have tried this one is the most basic yet near perfect I imagined such a plugin should be. Thanks Adam, great job!
I would also like the profile link to be “web_url”/category/name.

In reply to: [Social Login] Custom CSSThanks for this. Got the stylesheet working but for the life of me simply cannot get the container with the icons to align in the middle of the page. Any idea what I should reference to get it to align center?

In reply to: Connection Information – FTP credentialsThanks Tim.
I was also using
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
with varying results.
After a proper refresh of the plugins page the message went away.Thanks. I have submitted the bug report. Will take it from there.
@ Cais – Sorry for my slow response. Just been hectically busy.
Sorry, I don’t do FTP. It is evil should really not be used.I don’t think the WP trac bug is directly related to this issue though. Reason being that the older version of Nextgen works perfectly on the current WP version. Only picked this up when I specifically downloaded the NextGen beta release and tested that.
Will open a bug report on NextGen and then we can take it from there.
Great! Thanks! Now you moving in the right direction. 🙂
Just tested it on one of my smaller sites with 18 galleries and found a bug though.
When you upload images into a folder that has a space in between then NextgGen automatically changes the path from “New Folder” to “NewFolder” in the database reference/link to images during importing.
However when you check the gallery path when in Manage Gallery it still shows the path where images are: “New Folder”. This can not be edited though. When you browse the image gallery then the thumbnails won’t display and when you click on an image it can also not find the image.So I went and edited the path on the server side to “NewFolder” and the images and thumbnails displayed correctly.
However, after that, when using Singlepic in a post the image does not show. When you click on the image it does show the image in the lightbox pop-up.
Also when you edit the gallery and click on save NextGen then automatically creates a new folder “New Folder” as is referenced in the original path and also creates a sub directory in that folder “dynamic”. None of these folders contain image files in them.
As a quick fix I simply edited all references of “New Folder” to “NewFolder” in the database itself. This fixed it for now.
Please let me know if you need me to test anything else please.
And thank you very much for listening to us and adding this functionality. You have definitely retained me as a client. Soon as this is polished up and I successfully switch one of the bigger sites to the new version will I buy the pro version. 🙂
I echo mcfester’s request.. As I’m uploading round 1000 to 1500 images and on average 6 new galleries at a time it is quite important to know where you were working when called away from your pc.
As for the security aspect: (fresh brain today and less irritated)
The default where the uploader checks first is “wp-content” correct.
Now please do check what all you see where you can traverse using that uploader. “plugins”, “themes” , “all other plugin upload directories”.
And you are trying to tell me that is safe? What if any or one of those themes or plugins have a security vulnerability in them?
At least when you start in a folder in the root of your website there is nowehere else to go, at all.Thanks for considering and yes I think adding a line to wp-config is the way to go with this. Really only advanced user will be able to do it and I am quite sure most will be happy with it.
As for making it easy/secure for the majority.. Just this week I had long chats with two web developers that without me saying anything talked about how silly nextgen has become and they not using it in future developments.
@mcfester: I’m still running v1.9.13 on all those websites. I tested on one website with the new version and it literally duplicated images a number of times to the new stupid folder.
Even tried editing some of the files in the latest versions to no avail. It just defaults back to this silly way even though it does not change the location you specified in the settings.
One of the websites do over 2 million hits a month with over 17Gig’s of images. They must be insane to think I will give this a try and lose all that hard work of years building it!
Thanks for the link.. Will check it out. 🙂@hephoto: Nope, run *BSD servers and what you are referring to are symlinks probably? Using a symlink in something like that is not advisable as it might attract a few other nasty things.
A neatly crafted attack on your galleries just might reveal underlying base system info. I’m not 100% sure, but logic tells me not to try it.
