[Smush Pro] Anyway to lift the Bulk Smush Pro arbitrary limit?

We have a lot of existing images on our server and we really just need to run a bulk smush once to get through them all. But, Smush Pro is limiting the bulk smush to 5k or 10k each time we run it. We have over 300k images. Is there any way to temporarily lift that limit to let it run this one time to optimize all of our existing images? Once that’s done we won’t really need to run the bulk too much anymore. At the moment I keep having to reset it when it reaches 5k. Super annoying and not what I expected.

    Hi Trevor

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!

    We don’t impose such a limit, neither in the plugin itself nor on our end (via API that’s processing images). The fact that process stops every X images would rather be related to the server and it’s limits/restrictions/performance.

    With that big number of images, it might be better to use WP CLI though. If you do have access to WP CLI for your site you can use a command like this:

    wp smush compress --type=batch --image=1000

    where 1000 should be increased as it’s a number of images to be processed in a single batch.

    Kind regards,
    Adam
