Sometime around one of the last theme updates (I'm on 3.3.3) my site has begun to respond very slowly when a search is performed. 

At first I thought it might be a plugin conflict so I disabled all of the plugins but that did not improve the speed. 

So then I thought it might be my host (although I haven't had problems in the past) so I verified that by installing a different theme and although I couldn't search my images with the theme, everything seemed pretty snappy again.

Then I used a plugin called P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) to scan my site.  The plugin shows what components of your site are taking the most resources and causing the site to be slow.  The graph I got is attached.  It seems to be showing me that the problem with my speed is a result of the theme itself.  Look at the crazy load time for the theme (over 20 seconds). 

Is anyone else experiencing a slow down on version 3.3.3?  I checked a few other symbio sites and didn't see a problem but I don't know what version they were on.

Just go to the Yoast Plugin, Titles & Meta tab, then under Post Types find "Symbiostock Images". In the meta description template part put "%%excerpt%%" (without the "") and it will auto generate it for you. Just be aware, it doesnt visually show up in the meta description box on the image edit page, it just applies it in the background. You may need to tick "Excerpts" to be shown on the Screen Options dropdown on the image edits page.

Hope that helps.

I'm a little bit confused about this. Hoping someone can clarify.  If I add %%excerpt%% to the meta description in Symbiostock Images (Yoast Seo templates) I can see that the there is a meta description being added (by looking at the number of characters) but if I then add any additional information to the content, it is no longer dynamically added to the snippet as it was before adding %%excerpt%%. Whatever title and caption the image has in it's metadata when I upload it becomes the snippet and meta description even if I change the title or caption later.

Hey all,

I've been busy working all day on the set up of our symbiostock site and I've run into a question that is probably pretty basic but I haven't been able to figure out yet.  Right now I'm working on the Auto Return feature for Paypal and don't know what Return URL I should use?  What page should I be pointing back to? I see a "Thank you for registering" page but not seeing any kind of a "Thank you for purchasing" page.

Thanks for your help!
