hi Leo, can this plugin auto detect my content description and apply it to meta description? I am using Yoast seo now, but I have to manually copy my text from content to my meta description.

I already got Leo to implement Excerpts a while back which allows the Yoast plugin to then do this process for you.

Just go to the Yoast Plugin, Titles & Meta tab, then under Post Types find "Symbiostock Images". In the meta description template part put "%%excerpt%%" (without the "") and it will auto generate it for you. Just be aware, it doesnt visually show up in the meta description box on the image edit page, it just applies it in the background. You may need to tick "Excerpts" to be shown on the Screen Options dropdown on the image edits page.

Hope that helps.

It appears the preview is missing for those -- which is actually a legit error from the site. If the value is empty I should put something generic in there.

Awesome images btw! Racoon dog? http://shaunwstock.com/image/racoon-dog/ Wow, didn't know they existed!

You must have the Midas touch Leo! Sold this image last night in Istock!

Lol

It work! The "Exerpts" was ticked by default, I can't see the text appear in my image edit page "meta description", but I can see the word counter is counting and also can see at the source code my meta description is added. thank you!

It applies the content - we loosely call it "caption" but its technically the content.

chrisroll · « **Reply #30 on:** June 20, 2013, 11:26 »

Purchased !

Thanks Leo

yesterday my sitemap.xml was about 930K and after submitting it google said1637 images pending

this morning there were only 24 images pending, and sure enough, my sitemap was only 34K

i regen'ed the sitemap and it was 862K - resubmitted
the google test said there were 1637 images, but when i then submtted it, it was back to 24 images and the filesize had reverted to 34K

i regen'ed the sitemap again and it was 862K & resubmitted to google

----------------
after clicking "gen sitemap", it processes and refreshes the screen - but no indication anything actually happened -- need to add a timestamp or otherwise show that it actually did something

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #32 on:** June 20, 2013, 14:59 »

The new version fixes that and other things mentioned above. Feel free to download it again.

chrisroll · « **Reply #33 on:** June 20, 2013, 16:02 »

Hi leo,

I've just downloaded it again but it seems to be the same version (the last ?) I downloaded at 11:00.

Is it right ?

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #34 on:** June 20, 2013, 16:03 »

Version should be 1.1.1 - I'm setting up an auto-update system.

For anyone who's purchased just send me your purchase number

leo[at]symbiostock.com and I'll give you the newer one if you can't find your updated version.

chrisroll · « **Reply #35 on:** June 20, 2013, 16:17 »

Always on v.1.0

Transaction ID sent by mail.

Thanks !

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #36 on:** June 20, 2013, 16:26 »

Sent you the update.

I understand your excitement, but I would be way more excited if you sold it through your SY site.

Do you have to delete site and start again as I had already submitted Yeost sitemap and with plug in I get

We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

Hi

I used another site map generator at first. I deleted the site map from the google tools and then used Leo's to create a new map to put in its place

Kerioak~Christine · « **Reply #40 on:** June 21, 2013, 09:12 »

I "think" I have got it working now, no idea what I did as have been trying to do too many things at once, either that or it sorted itself out, now it just needs to entice in customers

no need to delete the other sitemaps -- google seems to choose different pages/images from each one

I was just about to buy and install, but Symbiostock.com has disappeared - all I get is a Bluehost landing pages with some adverts on it?

Steve

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #43 on:** June 21, 2013, 11:25 »

Yep! Switching to bluehost! Be online soon.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #44 on:** June 25, 2013, 16:51 »

To anyone who has contacted me to recieve the latest (self-updating) version of the plugin or who did not get a download page after purchase...

If your still lacking anything give send me a request again.

Not sure if you've replied or not, but I sent you an email yesterday and haven't heard back. But it could just be that you had better things to do!

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #46 on:** June 25, 2013, 18:55 »

No I got that one. Meant to reply soon! Generally I've been extremely busy reorganizing thing after this last month of disasters, the biggest one being my server problem. I'll get that soon.

THP Creative · « **Reply #47 on:** June 25, 2013, 19:08 »

No worries, figured you were flat out.

By your reply above, do you mean the newest version of your plugin now supports auto-updates? If so I will get onto buying it.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #48 on:** June 25, 2013, 19:11 »

Yes, it supports auto-updates, but its unlikely I will have to do much since its does it job dead-on. I might put a new schema into it allowing more recognition of things like news images, or other semantic info. But for now - its 100% on target.

THP Creative · « **Reply #49 on:** June 25, 2013, 19:52 »

Just bought it (woo!) but can't see anyway to download it from anyway, no email from your site either (just pay pals receipt email).

Any thoughts?
