If you find a post is not disappearing from the queue after being processed, it’s probably due to an error during broadcasting.
In order to find out what the problem is:
disable automatic processing of the queue in the settings
enable WP_DEBUG
enable Broadcast debug to browser mode
manually process the item in the queue
You should see a long debug text. An error message should appear at the end, telling you what is wrong.

It just times out before getting an error message when trying to manually process from the que screen which I would assume is because I’m trying to process 54 items and when clicking the http processing link it just goes to the dashboard and not sure anything is happening…
Try enabling broadcast to file mode, and broadcasting the stuck item.
The debug dump should then tell us why it is timing out: lots of images, perhaps?

There were lots of images on the page but still couldn’t get it to process either via http or ajax as it’d actually take down the server so I just had to disconnect and turn the page into a template as a work-around. Any adjustments I can make to shorten up the ajax calls or negate the possible timeouts in the future eduardo?
If you have the Duplicate Attachments add-on it will greatly speed up the copying of the attachments. Together with the Update Attachments add-on it should make copying images almost instantaneous, leaving you with one less alternative as to why it wouldn’t be working.
