I have got a new problem with processing, after everything was okay yesterday.
I uploaded two jpeg. and went to "Process Uploads" I can find them there and  tick the boxes. But after pressing "Process Images" I get a white page with nothing but "Process Images" images in the upper left corner. When I go to "all images", I find the files with title, keywords, description, but without a thumbnail 
Any ideas what is going wrong?

I'm located in Germany and actually I don't know, whether it is a law here to point out that your site uses cookies. I took the idea from Tinny, who is located in Great-Britain and I think she wrote somewhere that it is European law. This is only one  point concerning legal aspects in this project I am absolutely not sure what is right, what wrong or necessary.
For example I know (and thist time for sure) that a website which is hosted in Germany must have what we call "Impressum", what is close to that what is usually found in "About" on English sites. But a german "Impressum" follows certain rules and I guess you have to name it "Impressum" not "About". At this moment I have no idea how I put this on my site. The dilemma: I must do it because it is law in Germany but I don't want to call it like that because it is totally uncommon on English sites.
By the way: If there is anyone from Germany building a Symbiostock-Site at the moment, please contact me. Would be great to have someone to discuss such local aspects.

Thanks Leo ... everything is fine now. A friend of mine just registered and bought an image for testing and everything worked like it should. I am very happy right now 
Basic is done, now I can start with fine-tuning.

When a friend of mine tries to register she gets: User registration is currently not allowed
I searched the settings and the forum but didn't find anything.

Thank you so much for that hint! It works perfectly: First image processed. Thanks again!

Thanks for your answer Christine. I liked your idea, reinstalled the file via ftp, but unfortunatelly I get still the same error message. I still can't process an normal jpeg-file, no matter what size it is. Any more ideas from anyone?

Hi, I can't find where it is discussed.
Is there anyone experiencing similar problems?

I can only answer question 3:

I use a plugin which is called "Slideshow" ... works fine for me right now.

Good luck

Hi everybody,

I am quiet close to become part of Symbiostock, but at the moment I'm stuck. I uploaded two photos, but when I try to process them this it what I get:

Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /homepages/34/d161073170/htdocs/fsp/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php on line 481

Any help is very much appreciated!

okay ... now it works again, without changing anything ... sometimes i just don't understand computers 

i saved username and password in keypass yesterday ... so it should be right ... i have no clue what it is

I was really happy yesterday: I got symbiostock work, changed the welcome message, the logo, the favicon. I installed the child-theme and deleted the twenty twelve theme. So today I wanted to continue but I can't login as admin to see the administration area. Password should be right, as I use a password-manager.
Anyone has any idea what could be the reason?

Thanks Tinny. You are totally right, it was 1und1.de not me. After installing manually via ftp everything is fine now and the basic symbiostock-theme is working.
Now I wonder what are the next steps to do. I gonna read the forum more carefully now to find out.
If there is any photographer from Germany: perhaps you want to contact me. It would be nice to have someone to talk about the more specific questions concerning a website, which is hosted in Germany.

Hi everyone,
first of all: thanks to everybody working on this great idea, I really appreciate this very much! I would like to become part of this community, but at the moment I'm totally stuck.

This is what I've done:
I created a new domain and installed word-press (which is totally new to me). I am located in Germany and my domain is hosted by german provider called "1und1". After installing worldpress, I logged in to my domain, went to themes and uploaded the symbiostock.zip. It started to insall itself but after some seconds I got this:

Unpacking the package...
Installing the theme...
Could not create directory. /homepages/34/d161073170/htdocs/app465295624/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/
Theme install failed.

Could anyone kindly tell me what I've done wrong?

Given the high rejection rate, seemingly irrational and unpredictable rejections, a cumbersome uploading mechanism, and low performance, I don't even bother uploading to the site any more.

Their rejections are "seemingly irrational and unpredictable", that absolutely describes my experience with panthermedia. Their inspection team doesn't seem to be trainded very well (as their support team). And they don't even think it's necessary to give reasons for rejections ... what is disrespectful, unwise and totally absurd. Considering the slow and bad performance of panthermedia, the bad support and the lowest sales of my twelve agencies I gonna kick them if they don't do real changes soon.

Thanks for you answer ann ... yes, I think I will keep it seperated.

PM is quiet good in rejecting bestsellers ... and due to there unique slow review process you can really judge that. A picture may be allready bought 20 times on other agencies till it is refused on PM. If there is no reason for rejection given (what happens regulary) you should translate it as "support of our competitors" 
Honestly: I stopped trying to understand PM

@ Ed: sure I am chasing dollars, but I want to do it the legal way. Actually Alamy is my first step into RM-market and I'm not sure what's legal there, what isn't ... and I do not know yet what kind of photos sell best in RM-marktet. So I just try to get some hints of experienced people.

No, I did not notice that yet, good hint ... thanks 

Ok, good news for me: my first batch of 4 images was accepted by Alamy some minutes ago.

Bad news for me: I still do not know wheter Alamy allows to sell images  RM if  sell them RF on other agencies. I am not really interested about what iStock is saying cause I am not exclusive there (or elsewhere). I just would like to know wheter Alamy allows it.
And I would like to know (if there is anybody who sells some RM and some RF on Alamy): which kind of liscence is earning more money

Ok, now I'am totally confused. Can I sell photos which I have for example in my portfolio of shutterstock and iStock as RM on alamy or can't I? Voting starts now

Thanks for your quick answer.

Now two new questions:
If a have to similar but not identical photo from a series, can I sell one on my microstock agencies, the other as RM on Alamy?

And does anyone have experience with "novel use". Can you combine it with RF and is it worth doing it?

Hi, hopefully I will be accepted at Alamy soon and so I would like to ask you a question:
If I understood right you can choose either RM or RF not both and you can't change your decision later. I upload to many microstock agencies so I thought it would be the best to try to sell my images at Alamy as RM to get better RPI there. What is your experience: Is it better to choose RM or RF and what's about RM plus that what they call "novel use" (if you may combine these two what I am not sure about)?

same here. this unlimited incompetence is really alarming.

omg. they really did it again. it's so * embarrassing how unprofessional they act.
