Thanks for your input!
I totally understand what you described. It is basically what happens on a daily basis on my end. It seems that the uploading process has a certain pattern that I had to adapt to. (Like back and forth uploading, waiting for refresh after stalling, and rearranging image order despite previous arrangement etc... I am certain you know what i mean.) But the issue i am having is slightly different, while everything appears to upload seamlessly on the backend, the website only displays 3 images instead of the 10 (for example) that were uploaded without issue. It's across the entire website on all product pages where only 3 images are showing up, including the product pages that have been there for a long time as well.
