Large WordPress Media Library

[Brujah]

What's the largest number of images/attachments you've seen in a WP install? Have you had any issues with it? I'm wondering if it can handle 1 million images. What about 10 million?

I'm sure Fris has taken wp to the limits....

why would there be a limit? how many threads can GFY handle?

A client has a media library of 1.2 million images. Wordpress doesn't seem to mind.

It's just being polite. Ask it after a few drinks.

as long as you have the disk space, no limits ;)

Good to know. How are you managing the organization and display of over 1 million attachments? Any good plugins? Gallery pagination?

i would just use the default gallery system, that way no real overhead, if you wanted to add a lightbox, just parse all images and add it via jquery, that way you dont need a plugin to do it.

something like this for the lightbox

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
	$(".postContent a[rel!=link]:has(img)").lightbox();
});

I'll check out the lightbox idea. Just planning ahead how to manage large galleries. Say I add attach a set of 200 (or more) images to a post. If I use the built-in, it'll display all attachments to a post on 1 page without pagination. Would prefer to avoid that, so trying to decide on a better workflow.

theirs a good plugin that also allows you to upload a zip of images and will add them to a post.
