Check the whole media library
New uploads are read when they are uploaded. For everything already in the media library there is the batch run. It works in chunks and continues via WP-Cron, even if you close the page.
Start the run
- Open the “Kakapo Media” entry in the WordPress menu.
- Choose “Batch run” on the left.
- Decide between “Check only new ones” and “Check all”.
- As soon as a run has been set up, its progress card with “Processed”, “Estimated time remaining” and “As of” appears above the “Set up a run” card; while it is running, you cancel it there with “Cancel”.
Only new ones or all
- “Check only new ones” takes the images without a finding
- “Check all” reads every file again — necessary after changed thresholds
- Decisions made by people remain untouched in both cases
You set the chunk size on the same page in the “How the run works” card under “Images per run”. Allowed values are 5 to 500, 40 by default. On small web hosting a smaller chunk helps; the run then takes longer but puts less load on the server.
