I'm not complaining about the fact that there are updates. I just got confused by the amount of updates and why they don't show in the Wordpress admin panel while the update is available on the .com web site.

202
OK, I'm starting to lose track of what's happening.

For some reason I'm getting emails from Symbiostock about upgrades of one of my networking sites. I've never seen that before.

Then I notice that the 2.4.7 update is not even available in my Wordpress theme admin menu.

Do I have to download this 2.4.7 update from Symbiostock.com from now on?

Will theme updates not be supported from within Wordpress anymore?

Some information would be much appreciated!

Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: update 2.4.5
« on: June 28, 2013, 07:28 »
I updated to 2.4.6, activated, deactivated the theme and on my Symbiocard it still says vsn. 2.4.4.

In my theme panel it states 2.4.6 installed.

204
I'd already had the email to say a user had registered (and seen it looked like a real user!) so I went into Users and opened that user for editing. There's an entry for changing the password there, so I created a new password - I actually used Password Safe to generate a reasonably secure one - and entered that twice, saving changes. Then I emailed it to the customer, telling him to ignore the emailed password.

As it happens, the first email arrived eventually. Once the customer had bought the file, he didn't get the email, and neither did we, so I made the downsized copy locally and emailed it him.

That's pretty tough. Almost everything that could go wrong went wrong there - but you still managed to close the deal, that's the happy ending.

I hope you can iron out the bumps so it will be smoother once the customers run your doors in!  ;)

Thanks - worked great!

Symbiostock - General / Re: What's the data sheet for?
« on: June 17, 2013, 21:39 »
Yes, SEO and experimental. Just a toy for now. Still working on it.
Oh ok. I see, there is a ton of info in there and I'm not sure if this is all beneficial - but I'm a total dud at SEOing, so who am I to talk - LOL.

Symbiostock - General / What's the data sheet for?
« on: June 17, 2013, 21:08 »
Can someone fill me in why there is a  datasheet link in the SY theme?

Is it a SEO thing?

208
...but isn't using a child theme supposed to solve this?

Of course it is. I've never worked with child themes before and learning this now from scratch is really an eye opener.

Finally I got this issue sorted out - with the help of everyone who replied. Thanks so much!

209
Ok I finally figured it out. Have been dealing with Wordpress for years but always got the creeps when it came to customizing it, because I want to customize EVERYTHING.

So sometimes I get so frustrated that I start raping the actual php files and cram the code in there just to have it. With the next update my changes are gone LOL. Talk about Karma.

I did have to Google some installation tutorials and found a very helpful hint:

When adding the short code, don't paste it into the "Visual" text field. You have to paste it into the "Text" text field. I always got extra line breaks that completely messed up my design, spend countless hours going through CSS because of this. I could cry. Well, lesson learned.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I'm using Meteor Slides right now and it works fine.

210
I am using "HOME Page Simple" and Meteor Slides plugin to create my full width slide.
Can I just use the short code for that or I also have to add the php code to my template?

211
OK, so I have defined a page I created as my home page that is supposed to contain an image slider.

However, I'm having the hardest time to make any slider work (using short code for example).

Anyhow, could someone here roughly outline how they set up their image slider? I think that would help me already. I'm just poking around in the dark.

I got one to work but only when I hard code it into the actual php file (I cannot get the short codes working for some reason). I know it's suboptimal and I want to do it right from the beginning. My front page is set to "Home Page CTAs" as the slider has to cover the width of the entire site (using a 1 column design).

Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

212
Ok thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Thought I had a corrupted site or something.

213
I got this message for the last few versions already but get confused and don't know what to do about it.

I have two Symbiostock sites set up. One has been set up couple months ago with continuous updates and another one I just set up last night with the latest fist time theme installation.

Still, when I "upgrade" the update notifier tells me that I still have to update it.

Is this a known bug? Can I ignore this notification? What's up with that?

214
If I create a new page called i.e. Portfolio and I change the slug to image, it works when I click on the link in the site menu. But when I then assign that page as the front page, it will just show me  an empty page with the title Portfolio. So it doesnt bring up the images.

I dont want to use the htaccess method as I dont know if that changes the inner workings of the site.
AFAIK, using htaccess should not interfere with the functionality of the site. I just don't know if it's a smart way do so in regards to SEO.

215
My unprofessional advice would be to create an htaccess file in your root folder directing all access to whatever URL you want it to be.

I don't think that this would be an elegant solution nor will it help your search engine indexing... I believe there is a point to have a "proper" home/landing index page when accessing your URL.

Symbiostock - Development Area / Re: Faster network search
« on: June 03, 2013, 08:23 »
Have a look at your symbiostock/marketing page. If you are searching for keyword, that is in Promoted Keywords of any site, these sites also will be searched and will appear. This feature was implemented by Leo. Mine is random order of sites in results :)
Ahh I see, interesting.

Am I supposed to just promote (add check mark to) all the sites I like or is this already a default setting unless I want to exclude a site(s)?

Symbiostock - Development Area / Re: Faster network search
« on: June 03, 2013, 07:41 »
I'm not too familiar with the network function yet but for some reason I don't get search results from just the sites I added but from other sites as well.

Let's say I added to my network the sites: 1, 2, 3 by uploading the Symbiocard.

And I perform a search I get results from sites: 9, 1, 8 and 3

Sites 9 and 8 I never uploaded the Symbiocard for nor added them manually.

And 2 doesn't appear in my search results at all.

Just now I did another search term and got results from 12 other Symbiostock sites although I only added 6. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

I'm confused.

218
Hmm, Rubyroo left as well. It is not even implemented yet, but already loads of people dropping off.

So far left Matt Dixon, Rubyroo, Microbius, Vlad the Imp, Michealo,  :(
I won't close my account - unless I have to pay for anonymity - I just wont' be participating in any stock related discussions anymore besides Symbiostock.

219
Thats a strange place to have a crash. By that point its already resized a few things...

Are you getting this a lot or only on a few?
I got it to work but it may be something you have to look into:

This error only occurred when I uploaded one specific photo. 6000x4000 pixels HDR. First I thought some memory changes were made on the server side, which would limit me in terms of image size how large the images can be before the image processor quits. Nope.

I could only get the image to be processed if I selected Baseline(" Standard") in Photoshop instead of "Progressive" when saving the file.

All my previous images were saved progressive and got processed fine but this one image failed every time. I made sure it's sRGB and 8-bit because I had issues before as well with images that were in  Adobe RGB color space.

Maybe this is of any help. I'm glad though it went through now.

220
I have been out of the loop for a while but just installed v.2.3.7 after my old image processing cr@pped out on me.

So I thought I upgrade it to see if the updated image processor (if it was even updated... no idea) would work.

I got this error message after uploading one image when I try to process it to drafts:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::resize() in /home/abcd/public_html/abcd.com/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock_image_processor.php on line 754

Never had this issue before. I never changed anything and uploads ALWAYS went through smoothly. Now I get this message.

What could be the issue?

221
@ click click, please edit your comment with Apple image, I never said that, please quote the correct person. See, one more reason to be anonymous, that quote is now addressed to me when I never said that. Could cause problems down the line if it had been my real name.
I'm sorry, I corrected it. No idea what happened I quoted JPSDK's post... Weird.

222
But I ask you to convince me:
What are the advantages for the forum (not for the individual) to have anonymous participants.
You wouldn't get to hear me anymore if anonymous participants weren't allowed.   :)  If that doesn't convince you I don't know what will.
Priceless.  8)

He owed money, someone else had to pay for his escapades. I have no respect for people hiding because they owe money to other people.

Speaking of someone not having respect for someone else:

OT here, sorry I had to, did anyone hear about Apple's practices how to avoid being taxed (at all) ?

By founding a company in Ireland that handles most global sales (left column, blue border).

American tax law states:
A company has has to report to the tax authorities where the company was founded.

Irish tax law states:
A company has to report to tax authorities where it is being managed.

According to the graph below (sorry it's German) - it just illustrates the simplified version of Apple's subsidiaries, Apple is able to completely avoid taxes on sales for most of their products (billions of $$$).


Apple users please take this into consideration whenever purchasing their products.

Although I'm all for paying taxes, I think the governments should have bigger fish to fry than some photographer not paying his taxes...

224
I think what you are suggesting is too much of a reaction to cure the problem. I can think of only 3 forum members I'd like to never hear from again, two of them I think have been previously banned.

Wherever you go in life, there's always a small number of people spoiling things for everyone else.

It seems to me that all you need to do is re-ban people more quickly - as soon as you realise who it is, and that doesn't take long.
I have never lived in a place without having a neighbor who harassed or annoyed the sh!t out of me. There are "weird" people everywhere... even on the internet believe it or not.

What you say is reasonable and I do not disagree much, we could dig into nuances and find or not find consensus.

Im not accusing you, im pointing a finger at the whole anonymous mechanism.

Which I dont like, it is not productive.
What is not productive is trolls!

It has nothing to do with people that are anonymous!

Anonymous members don't equal trolls.

However, 99% of the trolls are anonymous.

So you're basically shooting birds with canons by eliminating anonymity. That's not a very eloquent approach IMO.

Leaf pulls the strings, he should "rule" over who he deems is worthy participating on his forum, although this already sounds a bit weird... - Point is, Leaf will have to ban the exposed trolls.

And let me throw something out there for a second for everyone to think about:

Assuming all microstockgroup members would have their identities revealed instantly, right now - do you really believe that fact would make all the discussions more "refreshingly positive and constructive"?

Seriously, by taking the members that already post here any given day, if we change all of their identity status, would we really have better discussions? It' still the same people, same opinions...

Call me ignorant or whatever, but I cannot see a correlation between existing forum members having "better" discussions because now they can look at each others portfolios.

Anyone, please, what am I missing?
