Oh well, problem has resurfaced: my MailPoet Task Scheduler (via Help > System Status) says “Connection unsuccessful” again. I’ve now tried all three options under Settings > Advanced > Newsletter task scheduler (cron), and none lead to a successful connection for Task Scheduler.
I’ve just sent a trial email, and it seems to remain in “Running sending tasks” under System Status, so I believe it’s not sending…again.
I’m running MailPoet free v5.17.4 on WP v6.9.
Thank you!

In reply to: [Gallery by FooGallery] help diagnosing import errors please!Hi, and again thank you for such quick and detailed help!…your plugin has a great developer ;-).
By miracle, my (shared hosting) import process sped up late last night, not without similar burps but I got through the remainder of my import more quickly. I assume your updates will be of great help to those doing something similar to my task of the last few days!
Below is system, info, just fyi. Thank you again for all your help.

In reply to: [Gallery by FooGallery] help diagnosing import errors please!OK, well, I’m sorta limping along here with FooGallery imports. This is what I and Bluehost have done so far:
- Upped max_execution_time, now at 1200 sec (!). Longer exec time *may* be helping, but import process still aborts.
- Bluehost also whitelisted possibly uploads URL in mod_security.
- Most common now is (FooGallery?) reporting “Something went wrong with the import.” But no other debug.log errors evident. (display_errors set on in PHP_INI, but no new errors display.)
- Noted warning: “[21-Dec-2025 02:52:23 UTC] PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “ID” on false in /[host]/plugins/foogallery/extensions/import-export/class-foogallery-import-export.php on line 69″
- Also noted error WP automatically reported: “An error of type E_PARSE was caused in line 141 of the file /[host]/wp-content/plugins/foogallery/extensions/import-export/class-foogallery-import-export.php. Error message: syntax error, unexpected identifier “wp_die”, expecting “function””
At this point, here is what I do: (a) I run an import script and monitor media library (NOT FooGallery import screen; it often does not display) for progress; (b) I note “Something went wrong” error, but continue to check media library, as images continue to import [oddly in .webp, then convert to .jpg, though originally in .jpg, I don’t have any image optimization plugins nor do I find anything in Bluehost that does this]; then (c) once images stop importing I re-run same script, repeating several times until all images imported. Once they are all imported, script completes (though doesn’t necessarily tell me so) and seems to correctly create a new gallery.
The above process is laborious, but has now worked for ~1/2 of the galleries I need to create.

Hi there, did some research and found other portfolio plugins that do this, typically via isotope.js. Is this a feature others are requesting re. your generally excellent portfolio block?

In reply to: figcaption breaks alignment in firefoxOK, well, not sure why you recommended that intro WPBeginner page, but I assume from your reply (and the lack of similar issues affecting other WP users…yes?) that it may indeed be a Genesis issue, so I’ve posted there.
Cheers,
