Would the fact my symbiostock_rf folder only has images in it back to the 7th August (instead of end of March) have anything to do with this I wonder?

Here are a few screenshots

In this one I have moused over the text - it is in white so does not show and nothing except SyXtra Master keyword is missing or uneditable


Now a normal version - shows text, picture and all editable areas


The public area view of the first image - note the sizes missing (at one point the prices reverted to 0 but currently showing)


The public area of the second, normal, view

I *think* that would be easy enough to do - do not add them to the drop down categories in the header and hide the main category page(s)  I think the only time they might show up then is if someone does a search on your site and you do not have any results?

Creating Licences (as I understand it and from memory as have accidentially locked myself out of site, I know what I did wrong this time just need to find solution )

1.  Create your new licences in WP pages, publish and make a note of the URL

2.  Under Symbiostock - Licences
Choose type - Standard/Extended/Custom , give it a name, add the URL as per No. 1 and chose where it will go Over/Under/Etc
 if you are adding an extra fee such as for extended then click the Yes box and fill in the prices.  Add a note in the next box to briefly describe the licence (this will appear in the pop-up when someone clicks on the little licence icon once published) - then click Save and you will have a new licence.  You cannot edit this only delete and start again.   Repeat as required for further licences.  Save.

3.  Go to Symbiostock - Batch Edit
Enter keyword of images you wish to add licences to and click the Search box (NOT enter/return) and those images will show up.  Either click the last number or select some by clicking on the images
Select the first option at the top - Settings & Prices
Scroll down to the bottom and select the licence(ses) you are going to add to that image
Click Save and hopefully those licences should now be added to your images

I will modify this post later to add correct terminology

I am sure I have seen this post before and did not fully understand it then either.  We can add whatever categories we want, very few of us have stuck to the original list and can use keywords to so
rt when required.  If we added dates could sort on those as well but dates are rarely relevant

By Indenting in the menues.

I have remembered now - it was on the complete category page that I could not get the sub-sub categories to show - just drag and drop to indent such as

All categories
>> Animals
>>>>Dogs
>>>>>>Afghan
>>>>>>Basenji
>>>>>>Dobermann
>>Backgrounds
>>Landscape
>>Food
>>>>ready made
>>>>drinks


etc

I have just added you back Jean

I have some  cloud storage but they are either small or will run out when I stop paying for subscriptions (they are linked to other things) so I ignore them.  I suppose I also don't really trust things I cannot hold in my hand in some way.    How do you get free cloud storage large enough for a symbiostock back up?

for web hosting, what is the cheapest option? if only a few k jpg images, does it has a free option?

Free is not good, you are very unlikely to get the options you need to run Wordpress and Symbiostock, it will be full of adverts and they will spam you to death

Many of us use Justhost or Bluehost.    With Justhost you will probably need to edit your php.ini but that is not difficult

How are you doing it - on testing site I used Symbiostock/batch editor - did a keyword search for a set of images , selected all those images (one page at a time or you lose selections) then used Settings & Prices to add the licences.


Not yet added it to my main site as I want to get it sorted in my head exactly how I am going to do it and get all my new licences fully edited.

After seeing your post I tried going to All Images and selecting a page of 100, selecting all images, adding a keyword that I would not normally ever use and adding it to everything on that page thinking as we can now remove keywords it would not matter.

Unfortunately I seem to have broken the batch search engine as when I try and search for that keyword (or any other come to that) I now get the following.  It was working earlier


Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://tulip.kerioak.com/?s=bahhumbug&post_type=image&symbiostock_network_search=true&ipp=) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

SORTED:  Wordfence problem I think

I have not yet set it up to batch-assign single values. Does anyone else want this?

So licenses can be assigned at the same time images are edited?  Yes please

This also means if we offer a custom/rm type licence for all new/unsold images we can then remove that licence if it sells as standard

Hi Jean
No problem, will add you back as soon as you are sorted - can you let me know in case I miss it?

I have removed Jean from my network and disabled the sites on the marketing page (where the number of other sites has just dropped from 77 to 16)  and the error message has disappeared.

How/why would a problem with someone else's site affect mine ?
