I have also seen that the width of the page seems to differ depending on the browser / version.

google the email address and you know.

Thanks for that tip.  I found that 7 out of the 9 registrations that I had were spam.  I recently added CAPTCHA to the registration process to eliminate spam.  Since then, I have only had one registration (but at least I have a good idea that it is a real person).

I'd like the links to increase from the current 10 to at least 20 other sites.
While at it I'd like the option for the networked images to come in as a single group so it looks like a single large site like it appears on the Global Symbiostock Search Engine site rather than split into 10 or (hopefully) more individual sites.

Actually, that is possible already and maybe something to think about doing on every SYS site.
We could throw out all existing network partners and only add/keep symbiostock.info there. This would list the search results of all SYS sites (with networking enabled) in only one block instead of up to 10.
Doesn't that make a lot more sense than having multiple blocks with possibly repeating search results?

I wonder how that would affect SEO (if at all).

Try adding the following to your php.ini file:

memory_limit = 32M
max_execution_time = 30    ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
memory_limit = 128M        ; Maximum memory a script may consume (16MB)
upload_max_filesize = 25M
post_max_size = 25M

I can't figure out a way to bulk add that there is a release for a number of images. If anyone knows a way please let me know, if not, this is a VERY important feature request.

I don't see that Symbiostock does anything at this time with the release information, so I am not sure why you would want to do this, but you can do this via a query in the database.

Something like the following:

UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = 'Yes' WHERE meta_key = 'symbiostock_model_released' AND post_id IN ( <list of image IDs>);

For example, if the image ID's are 5, 10, 18, 200, then you would have:

UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = 'Yes' WHERE meta_key = 'symbiostock_model_released' AND post_id IN ( 5, 10, 18, 200 );

If it is a property release, then you can replace 'symbiostock_model_released' with 'symbiostock_property_released'.

You can find the post / image ID in a variety of ways.  Here is one:

Go to the image page, right click on the page and choose "View page source".  Search for the word "minipic".  If the lines immediately above it look like they describe the image, then that is the post / image ID.

I would suggest trying it on one image first.

As always, I would recommend making a backup of your database before you make any changes.

Did you know that on the "All Images" page you can click on screen options and select the number of images you want to be visible...

Great tip...

I believe the fix was posted here:

https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/pull/6/files#diff-0

Basically, you need to replace two files:

inc/classes/uploader.php
inc/rf-custom-post-functions.php

I haven't tried this yet (since I haven't had the need), so please make backups of the files before you replace them.

And where do I find the two files that I need to replace what I have with? Or can I add what is in green (+) (when I click on the github link above) and delete what is in red (-)? If that's the fix, I can do that.

You can either click the "View File" link to view the file and then copy the code to a new file, or remove the red and replace it with the green.

There might be a way to download the files, but I don't know how.

Symbiostock requires that php has the ImageMagick module loaded.  I am guessing that your php installation does not have this module loaded.

The following instructions will help determine if you have that module loaded:

Create a new php file called symbio.php (or whatever else you like) with the following lines:

<?php
   phpinfo();
?>

Save the file and copy it to the webroot directory on your webserver.

Then execute it from a browser as follows:

http://<your website>/symbio.php (or whatever you called it).

This will give you all of the info about your php installation.  If you search the output for ImageMagick, you will find if it is installed and all of the info about the installation.

The phpinfo() output has a section at the top called "Configure Command".  On my installation, it shows the following:

'./configure' '--with-libdir=lib' '--enable-fastcgi' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5_3' '--with-config-file-path=/web/conf' '--disable-posix' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl=/usr/bin/curl' '--with-gdbm' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr/bin/libpng-config' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-gettext' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/bin/libmcrypt-config' '--with-mhash' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-openssl' '--with-pspell' '--enable-soap' '--enable-wddx' '--with-xsl' '--with-zlib' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-zip' '--with-xmlrpc' '--sysconfdir=/web/httpd24/conf' '--enable-apc' '--with-imagick'

You will notice that imagick is installed (which is the name of the ImageMagick module).

In addition, the phpinfo() output also contains an entire section called "imagick" that gives detailed information about the ImageMagick php module.

I believe I removed it by replacing that menu section in the header.php with my own custom links to the login and the customer area pages.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

But keep in mind the following scenario. Let's say a potential buyer has been browsing and searching your site for the one image he wants to buy. Redirecting him from this image page to a login/register page might not be the best idea. A popup window which will disappear after login/registration is probably more sales efficient.

I believe that (by default) the registration redirects to a WordPress Admin Profile page, so that is already an issue.

At least the customer will see the area that he needs to fill out for registration.  With the popup, the customer might not see where he needs to register and leave in frustration.

Are you using one of the plugins?

If so, which one?

The one from YOAST? (http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/)

Or another one?  (For example, http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-analytics/)

No plugins, I just stuck the code in the footer of my Symbiostock theme.

Thanks.  That's a great idea.

This was my first week of significant activity. Not that I had a ton of sales (3 this week) but that I only had one sale prior to this week, a couple of weeks ago. So it does seem that things are starting to pick up a bit.

Would you mind sharing any stats? Like how many unique visitors do you get daily? What's your bounce rate? How many real signups do you register? Stuff like that.

It would be great to know what the "successful" Symbiostocker is experiencing 

For this week, Monday through Thursday, I've had 293 visits, 281 uniques, 70% bounce rate, average visit duration 1:21, 92% new visits.

Over a 10-day period I'm seeing 625 uniques, and on a typical weekday it looks like around 65 is my average.

What are you using to get these stats?

I deleted the Author page, at some point, during set up. Does anyone know what the fix is to get it back? Is it similar to the one for the network directory?

I don't see a page for the Author.  My best guess is that your username (s@qc5Xv6) contains a weird symbol (the @ symbol) and maybe the Symbiostock application doesn't like it.  If that is the problem, I'm not sure how to fix it since you can't seem to change the username.

Here's what I see on yours. ( I'm using Safari)

It seems that you skipped the first step.

The first step is to go to http://<your website>/please-log-in/.

In my case, that would be http://shazamimages.com/please-log-in/

Then click the "Login / Register" link at the top-right.
