Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: White screen after activating Symbiostock theme

« on: July 17, 2013, 06:52 »

After switching off debug mode I'm still getting white screen for everything and have to delete Symbiostock theme to get WP working again.
Well, I think I have to wait for fixes or find another platform.

Yes, that '&' is my fault and it will be fixed. It should not be there (I've put & in function call instead of header). But I think that it has nothing common with blank screen. This & is reported as a bug in debug mode (as it was) or sometimes as a warning only in rare php versions, but maybe...

I've sent you PM with link to theme with & bug fixed.
Try it and let me know if it works.

Thanks, finally theme shows at live preview.
however, with a bunch of additional notes in various places:

When I'm trying to activate theme I get white screen with such notices:

It's a bit hard to tell what could be happening without knowing much about your local testing setup, a little Googling looks like that error may have to do with the PHP version being used. Can you check that for us?

Also, just curious did you activate the network? I'm not certain if that would cause errors on a local environment depending on the set up. I took a look at the line it's referencing and I don't see an obvious cause for the error but I'll send AJT a note to double check since it looks like it's in his network search function.

I am on newest LAMP server at Ubuntu 13.04
WordPress Version: 3.5.2
PHP Version: 5.4.9-4ubuntu2.1
MySQL Version: 5.5.31-0ubuntu0.13.04.1
Web Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
and as it is on my home computer, which is connected to internet through the local cable provider, I have no network activated.
I have tried deleting and installing theme a few timed and it still pointing to network-manager.php as causing problem.

I have same problem on my local testing host. I've tried all advice from this thread and nothing worked.
I am not going to re-install my WP or the theme again and again as it is of no use.
What I have noticed is that when I'm trying to see the theme with 'Live Preview' it is going to /wp-admin/customize.php?theme=symbiostock link with the same white screen as a result.
I have also defined WP memory limit to 128M and still with no change.
In debug mode I'm getting this message:
Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /var/www/mysite/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/network-manager/network-manager.php on line 1645

Hi All,

We can allow your files to be deactivated (not on sale) and then deactivate your account. However, we have had instances when photographers literally told us that it's a crime to keep even a backup copy of their files when they leave. So which is which? To make things simple we just made a rule when you go, we'll delete all your files, it's much cleaner and simpler to explain in this manner.

So which is it now? Do advise!

Alex.

So, after 5+ years with you I have no other choice than leave? Nice!

Thank you Lisa

I don't know if I still want to talk to them. It would be nice if they can help but I would not cry if they don't.
From my experience I know that as they started to do such things, they would not stop on newbies only.

Very sorry to hear you got stuck this way. Had you removed a lot of images from DT too? I feel bad for anyone who had a large port on DT and was removing them to go exclusive at IS. DT is so strict on similars now, I think it would be very difficult for most of us to get the same images accepted these days.

I never had so many images there becauese of similars. DT is not a problem as they do not delete images immediately. It is possible to enable most of them.
SS have also a great feature that you can take off line whole portfolio and easily get it back if you change your mind.
Unfortunately 123RF deletes everything forever.
I wonder if the owners or some agencies have ever thought of that, if let's say, a thousand of submitters deletes a thousand files each
that makes 1 million files less.

Out of curiosity, DMG, did you plan include eventual Istock exclusivity? If so, then your deleting of images by sales makes more sense. And with Istock's recent developments it also makes sense that you might have changed your mind about going exclusive.

If this is the case, you have my sympathies. There are probably quite a few in a similar situation right now.

Well, something like that.

you had the "trouble" to upload/approve them and after that you delete them?? thats insane really.. one thing is to quit on the agency because of royalties or other strong attitude from them, if not its just nuts :/

Yes, you are perfectly right. That's why I am going to quit now because of royalties

in September last year I have deleted images that were not selling and ended up with 90 files.
After that clean up my earnings went from a pay every two months to almost nothing.

I am completely baffled when I hear of people deleting "non-selling" images in their ports with the expectation that this will somehow drive more sales.

Can someone explain how this is supposed to work?

The only thing this might do to help someone feel better is drive up RPI, but this would be an artificial way to get there. I use RPI as a valuable tool to tell me if I am uploading the right stuff that people want, but it only works if I don't try to pull tricks like deleting the non-selling stuff.

But RPI is not a number that pays the bills. So how does deleting images help you, exactly? I don't expect dmg to answer, since this obviously hasn't worked for him, but has this actually ever worked for ANYONE?

Well, I had a "plan" that I don't want to go into details of it now. It wasn't to drive more sales on my mind when I was doing that.
The reason I am talking about it now is to show that deleting non-selling images not only kills sales
but may also bring such unexpected results as in this case.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum and it is sad that it must be on this occasion.
I've been with them since 2006 and had nearly 1500 images there. in September last year I have
deleted images that were not selling and ended up with 90 files.
After that clean up my earnings went from a pay every two months to almost nothing.
As there is no way to restore my deleted images and there are massive rejections on a new ones
I am left with no other choice but to delete all the rest of images from that agency
and close my account as I already did with IS.
