Ok thanks and updated

This won't affect anything. Go ahead

Hi Leo do you just added an update to this plugin? I saw an update to 1.1.3 today, what happen if I update to 1.1.3? Do I need to resubmit the sitemap and will this affect my previous indexed images?

based on this message from Leo, look like you just need to submit "symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml"  and this will point to all your sitemap.

For anyone using sitemaps, a new update is available.

Dashphoto gave us an opportunity to see how LARGE portfolios are handled in Symbiostock.

I did have to make an adjustment however, to how sitemaps are handled. Instead of generating 1 BIG file containing 11,000 images, we have to create a collection of 2000-image sitemaps with an index sitemap pointing to them:

download this "cart manager" plugin from Leo, it is free now, you can see what images your registered user added to cart and also can see the purchases image thumbnail and ID.

I think everyone have the same preset xml file name

I am new to SEO may be not the right person to reply your question, but I noticed your sitemap is symbiostock_image_sitemap_1.xml do you submit the correct sitemap?

How did you find out the filename of my sitemap?

I installed the very first version of the plugin which created a full image sitemap at symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml.
A few days later an update of the plugin was published which created the symbiostock_image_sitemap_1.xml file sitemap while having the original symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml file pointing to the new one.
To make sure I'm not missing anything I submitted both sitemap files to Google Webmaster tools.

It can be any name but just to make sure Redneck submit the right one, he also have http://picbreeze.com/symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml, the one is a link to http://picbreeze.com/symbiostock_image_sitemap_1.xml, I am not sure is this causing the index problem, just trying to help.

I just checked mine and it is   http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml

Are you saying the url should not have the _1 after it?

I must said this is a plugin you can't miss it.

I am so impressed by the speed of my images being indexed, I purchased this plugin today around my local time 1.00pm and immediately submitted sitemap  to google webmaster tool, now 11.30pm I have total of 767 images and indexed 418 images.  I submitted yoast images sitemap around two months, so far only 223 images indexed.


Thanks Leo!

I must be doing something wrong. I've been using the plugin since it is available for purchase and have only 50 out of 1072 images indexed so far.

howmany of those are also with the agencies?  that seems to be the biggest determining factor -

I guess about 90%. I changed title and/or description at most them though.

i would like to request a feature to sell images in packages, something like grouping images and sell as package.

You can try Ajt "stock plugin" the plugin shows red "EDITORIAL USE ONLY" messages, when image has category Editorial.

Have found one way around an Editorial banner - and it can be edited to your own preferences - mine just needs to shrink a bit

Do you mind sharing how you've done it? Do you simply put this picture into the image description?

Thanks Leo, it works

after updated to 2.5.6 i can't upload photo, I am using chrome any solution for this?

You just have to deactivate/activate it which re-runs the installer. It will create the folder and the prob should be fixed.

Hello!
Leo, CONGRATS for your work!

MSG name: Oligo
website url: http://www.myvectorimages.com
My illustration topics: Vector cliparts, icons, cartoons
Portfolio size: 326
What I am looking for: Vector artist or illustrators who want to network

Congrats Ron! 

updated from 2.5.0 to 2.5.3, portfolio around 720, site loading no problem fast as usual and I like the ranking idea, we now have full control of showing what we think is the best to customer, one thing we really need now is bulk edit to speed up work.   

Quote from: Leo on July 03, 2013, 07:46
Thats the one!

thanks updated! so far no problem 

Quote from: Leo on July 02, 2013, 19:29
This feature needs a jumpstart. Go to your bee admin panel and click the generate image info box....all your dreams will come true. If not let me know.

I didn't mail anyone notes on this. Within 24 hours the images will update by themselves to be ready for the rank system. Let me know if issues exist after above step.

Hi Leo, do you mean the "Update public image info."?

i was away for a few days, wasn't able to update my website, I am still at version 2.4.4, want to do the update to 2.4.9, but don't see the update link at my symbiostock theme, is the link temporary taken out by Leo?

I'm not sure if anyone else pointed this out, I noticed some of my keywords with multiple words gets no result when I click on the keyword, for example the page below when I click on my image keyword "jack-o-lantern", I get "No results found on this site.", those keyword also indexed by google together with the word No results found... showing as description which is not good.

i was going to ask the same question and I see this post, thanks for the info

Congrats! cclapper

hi Leo, can this plugin auto detect my content description and apply it to meta description? I am using Yoast seo now, but I have to manually copy my text from content to my meta description.

I already got Leo to implement Excerpts a while back which allows the Yoast plugin to then do this process for you.

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.

It work! The "Exerpts" was ticked by default, I can't see the text appear in my image edit page "meta description", but I can see the word counter is counting and also can see at the source code my meta description is added. thank you!
