After waiting for what seems like 4 hours or so, the plug in seems locked in a loop running a chron job for “remaking the index database tables for photos”. The cron job will run through the 5000 photos, then the notification for running the cron job disappears. Nothing else happens for awhile. I refresh the page thinking that the screen needs to be updated, and after I do so sometimes it will say it is running a cron job “to remove obsolete entries from index database”, or it will be back to running the chron job for “remaking the index database tables for photos”. The plugin never moves onto the last scheduled cron job which is for “remaking the index database tables for albums”.

I see no obvious button to kill the cron jobs to see if that will remove the spinning wheel from the front blog page.

I have some time to monitor the process now, so I plan to watch the page after it finishes “remaking the index database tables for photos” and see if it eventually moves to “remaking the index database tables for albums” on it’s own, without refreshing the page the way I was doing.

EDIT#1:

OK. The “remaking the index database tables for photos” finished up. That status switched over to “locked”. I then waited for 30 minutes and nothing changes on the page. The “remaking index database tables for albums” does not start up, even though is says “scheduled cron job”, nor does anything else change.

I then just now refreshed the page and the “remaking index tables for photos” has changed over to “start as a chron job” which is different behavior from before. The “remaking index database tables for albums” is stuck though. It says “cron job scheduled” but it is not starting in the 5 minutes or so it is taking me to key in this edit. The spinning wheel is still showing up on the front page of the blog.

As stated before I see no “kill” button for the cron job, nor do I see a “force start”. So it appears I am stuck on a cron job for “remaking database tables for albums” not doing anything. And I am assuming that is why the spinning wheel is still on the front page of the blog.

Any suggestions?

EDIT#2
Oh lord. Just for the heck of it I went to WP Super Cache and deleted the cache. I then went back to settings for the plugin and the “remaking index database tables for photos” has started running again”.

I definitely seem to have some kind of problem that is not user error.
