Nope, it's not just you, I'm on Bluehost.  I tried it and got:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare symbiostock_image_manager_register() (previously declared in /home/cartoo11/public_html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/inc/rf-custom-post-functions.php:9) in [...]public_html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/rf-custom-post-functions.php on line 99

I did notice that rf-custom-post-functions.php has two calls to included classes that may cause issues.  I'm going to test adding them and do some research.

Amanda_K:

Thanks a bunch.  Now I know it's not just me.  Hopefully I can figure this out, because I would like to customize quite a few things.

My intuition tells me that it is how the function symbiostock_image_manager_register is called, rather than what functions it calls (but I am a novice at PHP & WordPress, so you are probably correct).

Does this do anything to the customer side of the site or just change the name where only the site owner can see it?  I cannot work out exactly what you are trying to achieve

As I stated above, it doesn't change anything on the customer side.  It only changes something that the site owner can see.  I figured if I asked someone to test something that the customer would see then I wouldn't get many takers, so that is why I am doing something simple like this that won't affect the customer side.

I cannot work out exactly what you are trying to achieve

I am trying to figure out how to customize the child theme when files are below the main theme folder (wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child).  As I stated above, changes made to files in the main theme folder seem to work fine, but changes made to folders below the main theme folder don't.

Symbiostock - General / Re: Is Symbiostock a con?

3. Who do I sue if my Symbiostock-based site is hacked and high-value images stolen?

I don't think any WordPress software on the planet makes any guarantees about security to the extent you're suggesting or hoping for.

Neither do any of the stock agencies.  And even if they do, they wouldn't (and couldn't) do anything if there was a security breach anyway.

I would appreciate if someone could test this out from their side.  This way I can tell if the issue is specific to my setup, host (GoDaddy), etc.

The requested changes below shouldn't cause any issues to your website at all and customers will not be able to see these changes (since they will show up on the WordPress Admin backend).

Please try the following:
  • Create a folder / subdirectory under the child theme (wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child) called "inc"
  • Copy the file "rf-custom-post-functions.php" from the main theme (wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/) to the child theme (wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/inc/)
  • Modify line 9 of the "rf-custom-post-functions.php" file in the child theme (wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/inc/) from
         'name' => 'Symbiostock Images',
    to
         'name' => 'My Images',
    (or anything else that you want it to display)
  • Go to the WordPress Admin site (<your website name>/wp-admin) and choose "Royalty Free Images" -> "All Images" (near the bottom of the left sidebar) and take a look at the title near the top of the page to see if it says "Symbiostock Images" or "My Images" (or whatever you changed it to).

You can always back out any of these changes at a later point if you want.

In my case, it didn't work, but I am wondering if this might be something specific to my setup, host (GoDaddy), etc.

I appreciate any help that one can offer.

31
Hmm I haven't I altered that specific file, can you share what changes you are trying to make with it?  Or did you copy it unaltered into your child theme?

At first, I copied the entire rf-custom-post-functions.php file over and made some modifications to the one in the child theme, but that alone didn't do anything.  Hence, this thread was created.

I then made the change listed above to the empty functions.php file in the child theme and that worked for about 5-10 minutes, but then I started to receive the error message listed above.

I then tried to change the line in the functions.php to:

     require('inc/rf-custom-post-functions.php'); (instead of require-once)

But that does the same thing - it works for about 5-10 minutes and then throws the same error listed above.

I have also tried to ONLY include the changed functions in the child-theme rf-custom-post-functions.php file that I modified, but I still get the same results.

I have googled this issue for hours and haven't found a solution.  I'm sure there is one, I just don't know what it is yet.

Thanks for your help.

32
Well, that doesn't seem to be the solution.  :-[

It works for a while, but then after a few minutes I get the following error (and nothing works after that):

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare symbiostock_image_manager_register() (previously declared in /home/content/23/11422623/html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/inc/rf-custom-post-functions.php:9) in /home/content/23/11422623/html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/rf-custom-post-functions.php on line 99

33
OK, I think that I figured it out.

I copied the following line in functions.php from the parent theme to the child theme and it now works:

     require_once('inc/rf-custom-post-functions.php');

I'm not sure if that is totally correct, but it seems to be working for now.

Hopefully someone can either confirm or deny that this is the correct way to do this.

34
I have had success in copying a file from the main Symbiostock Theme (webroot/wp-content/themes/symbiostock) to the Symbiostock-child Theme (webroot/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child) and then modifying the file.

But now I am trying to customize files that are below the main theme directory (such as webroot/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc) and I am not having success.

For example, I am trying to customize the file "rf-custom-post-functions.php" in the webroot/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc folder.  I have created an "inc" directory under webroot/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child and have copied the file there, but any changes that I make are not working.

Does anyone know if it is possible to modify a file that is below the main Symbiostock Theme directory?

And if so, how?

35
...got it working.

It might be useful to others in the future if you shared the issue and the solution.

36
Is there any way to search on multiple categories?  For example, is there a way to search on the categories "Business" and "Concepts" so that you only get images that have both categories?

If not, is there any way create a page that would accomplish that?

37
Your all set. When I looked at your settings you had plugged in the *file path* but you simply need to put in the HTTP address.

Leo:

When I received the errors yesterday, I originally had the HTTP address in there (as it was the default).

I changed it to the file path this morning and it started working, so I left it like that so I could continue to work on the website without gettings errors.

I describe this in more detail in the thread above.

But I notice that you must have put in the HTTP address and everything seems fine now, so I can't explain why it wasn't working before.

Thanks for helping.

38
You are doing things a little back to front to many of us, as I think most people get the site sorted (Eula, layout, logo, watermark logo etc) before they start on uploading images

Thanks.

I wasn't planning on uploading all of my images.  I just wanted to upload about a handful to see how things worked and to see if I thought that Symbiostock would work for me and be worth the effort of doing all of that other stuff (EULA, watermark, logo, layout, etc), which takes a bit of time.

39
Upload your watermark image through the MEDIA UPLOADER in Wordpress

My issue wasn't with a custom watermark that I uploaded, but with the default watermark installed by the standard installation.

But thanks for the info.

Have you found the instructions yet on the Help page within Symbiostock or on Amanda's site at http://www.symbiostock.net


I was originally using the Tutorial @ http://www.symbioguides.com/.  At the time that was all I knew that existed and I thought that it was the "official" guide.  Unfortunately, the tutorial doesn't go the whole way - it doesn't include (yet) a lot of things, such as how to upload images, setup PayPal, etc.  So this led to my first issue: On the same site, I found a Knowledge Base article titled "Adding Images to WordPress" (http://www.symbioguides.com/knowledgebase/adding-images-to-wordpress/).  So I followed the article and tried to upload a few images, but it didn't seem to work (since I couldn't search for the images later).  Little did I know that this was for adding images (logos, headers, etc) to customize your website and not for uploading images to sell.  So I wasted a few hours on that.

I then stumbled upon the "Symbiostock" and "Royalty Free Images" menu items from the Symbiostock theme and saw that there was an Upload Images there.  So I started to play around with that, and that is when I ran into the errors in this thread.

I have since found "Symbiostock Help" tab within the "Symbiostock" theme menu item and have started to read that.

So, it has been a bit of a rough start, but I understand that this is still in the beginning phases and understand.

It would be good if someone could post a thread with all of the resources for newbies and sticky it to the top of one of the forums.

41
After a lot of playing around, I have able to figure out how to get the images to appear on the website after a search.  I had to go into the image and Publish it.

But I would still appreciate if someone could figure out why I had to change the URL for the watermark (see previous post above) and see if there is something still wrong with my setup.

42
I went to the Symbiostock -> Settings tab and changed the Watermark Image URL from:

wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock-watermark.png

to:

wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock-watermark.png

This seems to allow images to be Processed or Reprocessed without throwing any errors, but the images still don't show up in searches for some reason.

43
Can you give me an admin access to your site? Then I can verify all is well.

Done, I've sent you a PM with the pertinent info.

I would greatly appreciate if you could check into this as soon as you get a chance, since I would love to get this going soon.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

what's your site?  we can look at your symbiocard and other files  to detect some problems

shazamimages.com

Please note that I just started this today and don't have much of anything going yet.  I was hoping to upload a dozen or so images and then start to fine tune the web site over the next few days.

I have uploaded six (6) images, but only the first one shows up when you hit the Search button.

What and where is the symbiocard?

45
The first thing I would check is if the file actually exists at wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock-watermark.png ( it would be really strange if it didn't, just making sure!)

Yes, it exists.

Second, I would try uploading your own watermark or even just a placeholder to test a few uploads and see if that works.

I will give that a try.

Just out of curiosity, was the first image you uploaded smaller than the ones that didn't work?

The first image was 867 KB.  The next four images were 764 KB, 967 KB, and 967 KB.

All were JPGs.

46
If you go into your Symbiostock > Settings tab, what does the url say for your watermark image?


It is the default that was setup by WordPress/Symbiostock:

http://<<domain name>>/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock-watermark.png

Also can you tell us how you have your site set up (is it in the root or in a directory,)...?


WordPress was setup in the root (the default).

...what host you are on?


GoDaddy

I uploaded one image and everything worked fine.

Then I tried to upload four more images and I am now receiving the following error when I try to process the images:

Quote
Cannot find watermark at location: /home/content/23/11422623/html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/symbiostock-watermark.png< ... Please check that you entered it correctly in your Settings Area. Default watermark used.

FYI: I have not changed anything about the watermark (yet).

Please advise...

48
I am interested in starting a Symbiostock site, but I can't seem to find the technical requirements to get started.  I can see that it needs WordPress, but is there any specific version of WordPress?  Also, are there other software requirements (in addition to WordPress) that are required for Symbiostock to work?  Or is WordPress the only thing that is required?

I am asking because I am looking to get a web host and want to make sure that the web host has all of the features that are needed.

Thanks ahead of time.
