Readme github.com/wemakegood/asset-uploader ↗

A WordPress plugin that allows you to upload large batches of files from the wp-content/uploads/assets/ directory to the WordPress Media Library through the WordPress REST API.

Description

This plugin is designed to solve the issue of trying to upload hundreds or thousands of files through the WordPress web UI, which often results in timeouts. The plugin provides an admin interface with a button that initiates an AJAX process to upload files one at a time in the background.

Features

  • Batch processing of files from the wp-content/uploads/assets/ folder
  • Background processing through AJAX calls to prevent timeouts
  • Real-time progress tracking with a visual progress bar
  • Detailed processing log
  • Automatic creation of the assets directory if it doesn't exist

Installation

  1. Upload the asset-uploader folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
  3. Go to the 'Asset Uploader' menu in the WordPress admin

Usage

  1. Add your files to the wp-content/uploads/assets/ directory
  2. Go to the 'Asset Uploader' page in the WordPress admin
  3. Click the "Start Upload Process" button
  4. Monitor the progress as files are uploaded to the Media Library
  5. Once complete, you can find all the files in the Media Library

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.0 or higher
  • PHP 7.0 or higher
