This is strange. I can understand that Leo wants to move on but why drop everything without a notice? symbiostock.org all of a sudden out of the air, I know that costs money to upkeep but I can hardly believe the site is paid per day. Why didn't he give a notice on symbiostock.org that it was closing down and he was stopping?

Strange.

Thanks Leo,
Twitter images now work for me after the update!

LINUX ROCKS

My man!

Ron,
I tested it on your site and the compound search does work great. That's maybe the difference between premium and the open source package.

The thing I don't like is the difference between the keyword "clouds" and "cloud".
On my site the keyword "cloud" doesn't find my "clouds" images and the other way around. To be found I need both keywords for every image. Strange!

You are correct, its the premium version with the updated search. But you can configure the search as you please.

It can search whole words, part words, and title and description, but you can toggle the settings as you please.

Just one note of importance: If you set it to search partial words, for example, sex, it will also return images with essex.

So if I search, with the free open source package, cloud doesn't find clouds images and vice versa. If sex returns essex this trick should work with cloud(s).
With the premium package this does work? 

Is their a solution for keyword search? Is it possible to use a different search engine, maybe a WP search plugin?

I mean if I search for "clouds" I think that images with the keyword "cloud" should be found, which doesn't now.
Also compound keywords, which I have a lot, doesn't work as mentioned.

So you think it's better to SEO the generated thumbnails and watermarked images.

That means if you have 1000 images you have to SEO every image 3 times. 1x on the image page and thumbnails and watermarked images in Media Library.
That's 3000 times Focus keyword, description, etc.

I just have 100 images uploaded and that took me a couple of weeks due to lack of time.

Thanks I'll add them all.

It's on the edit image area no wonder I couldn't find it.  I was looking for that information on the actual image page.

This ought to be fun to deal with.

Not sure what you guys are talking about. Besides the SEO on the image pages do you also SEO the individual images in the WP "Media Library" folder?

your photo topics: Landscape, nature, environment, 3D
what you're looking for: I suppose related to my topics. I am adding at a slow pace 3D images and maybe 3D files (if possible).

I doing my best to get my hands on the network thing. I just added symbiostock.info as this seems sensible to me, not sure if I did this correct.
Only 90 images uploaded just now but slowly but sure more will be added.

Happy to be with the team!

Be sure to check the Terms and conditions of the agency/ies you have sales of the image. Many agencies forbid use of images as logo. If that applies to the relevant images, point it out if the attorney says you would only be entitled to the normal piddling royalty for an 'artist's reference'.

I have checked that. You are not allowed to make a logo with a standard licence.

^ I believe in general, but may be wrong in the specific instance, that the agency rules about "logos" are about "logos" which would be specifically registered as trademarks. The point being that trademarking an image as a logo would be part way towards claiming ownership. So, for example, the original brilliant Twitter logo by Simon Oxley was probably not technically a logo. Because it was a royalty free vector from when he was with iStockphoto. IIRC.

Many small vineyards often running on very little money will use a design on the labels which though it may superficially look like a logo may not actually be a logo in the sense of being trademarked.

If the wine is any good perhaps you can get her to send you a few crates to make you go away

Thank was my thinking. I am not here to ruin a company but our work should also be respected.

I found an image I sell used as a logo by a French winery. That should be nice news but it isn't. The image has been traced by pencil and used as main part of the logo. It is also to be found on their bottles.

I had contact with her and she wrote me she found the image on Google and weren't able to contact the owner 
She sent me the drawing, after I showed her a link to my image, and told me it was her creativity. The logo is not my photo, she says.
I can overlay the two images and it is a perfect copy but only she hand traced it with pencil and paper.

It is so obvious it is my image but I don't know what to do.
I don't feel I like the idea of letting the hounds of the stock company loose to tear this winery apart, what's in it for me. I get my $1.50 and they walk away with loads of money.
I would like to settle it with them, even though it will be hard.

Any advice?

I am having real trouble to get Paypal working. I am near the point of giving up this project.

I have wiped out my site and started all over again, so now only use the defaults, default plugins, default master theme, etc.
Wordpress 3.6 and SS 2.5.6

I made a Paypal Sandbox and started testing. Payments all go through, this works!
After the "thanks for payment" message from Paypal it doesn't return to my site, so I press the Paypal link to return to my " Customer Licence and File Management Area ".

Here I see the message:
 Thank you for your purchase!
Items still in your cart, and not in your download area?
Wait a few seconds and refresh the page. Sometimes paypal takes a few minutes to notify us. If you still have problems, please contact us.

I get no email or no email is sent.
Mail does work on my site and I use the correct mail address.

So in short:
Sandbox payments work. Image is paid for but customer gets no image.
Help   

I have the same problem testing Paypal Sandbox. bschell, do you have this working now?

What is supposed to happen?
Does the customer suppose to see a link in the "Customer Licence and File Management Area"? Or do I have to make a download area?

This is what I have:
 Thank you for your purchase!
Items still in your cart, and not in your download area?
Wait a few seconds and refresh the page. Sometimes paypal takes a few minutes to notify us. If you still have problems, please contact us.

I changed line 1645 in wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/network-manager/network-manager.php from

ajt_network_search_all( & $query_list, $this );
to this:
ajt_network_search_all( $query_list, $this );

Have no idea if this is good to do, I suppose it isn't ok 

And it works now, but... changing define('WP_DEBUG', false); to 'true' gives me massive errors on screen. See attachment.
Using WP 3.5.2 and are going to upgrade to 3.6.
