Please help me on following

1) how to change currency for each size?

2) my photos don't appear in the front page

3) any tutorial? The videos link is not working any more

Hi and Welcome to Symbiostock

1. Symbiostock (bee) Settings Page

2. Do you have the widget set - I found the best way to get pictures on the front page was to set the Template - Home page CTA within the Page options

3. There is still one tutorial on the Help page of the Symbiostock (bee) and lots of help within the forum - for the video tutorials we need to wait for Leo to finish rebuilding his site

Yeah my vids were lost in the server trauma I had. But this stuff is much better anyway...

How do I remove "SS Symbiostock" from top of my website? I want to replace it with my website name

Nikd90 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 27, 2013, 00:45 »

I think I found it. It is in settings. What about EULA? Can I copy from somewhere? How do I make my image category menu like a drop down?

Kerioak~Christine · « **Reply #5 on:** June 27, 2013, 01:16 »

EULA 2nd post down in general section has some samples

Header menu , see help page tutorial in symbiostock

Sounds like you are getting there

Nikd90 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 27, 2013, 21:45 »

Done with changing the logo. EULA copied. But I am unable to create menu where if I bring my mouse a drop down should popup and I should be able to select the category.
Need further help on
1) I need to create page where all the pictures are listed. basically my portfolio.
2) create a page where all the categories are listed in the form of folders/sets similar to what we see in Flickr etc. I saw few Symbio sites have done that.
3) in the setup, Tinny has mentioned that we need to select "Post" in the settings but I don't see just "Post"
I see post page. I have selected that.

I really like the websites that everyone has created. Looks so professional. Mine looks like done by 10yr kid. Maybe they can also do a better Job that I

Found the tutorial on drop down. Will try that. Can someone please help me on other issues?

1) is easy, you don't need to create it, it's automatically generated at www.yoursite.com/image/ so you just need a link to that. For an edited portfolio, create a category, say 'portfolio' and assign a bunch of your best to that, then call it from the menu.

2) If you mean something like the front page at http://www.picturemojo.co.nz then that's a set of individually prepared index pics arranged using the Visual Composer plugin with links to categories.

3) Not sure what you're after here.

Keep going, you'll get it sorted in the end!

Thanks. Will try these.

For 3) check under settings->permalinks. we need to make some changes here. Not sure why but I read it at few places

You need to tick "Post name" under settings->permalinks. I don't claim to understand why, but I think that is just how the SY theme works...

My widgets only work on sidebar. Not on above header. Is that normal. I want a slider on top.

How do I change the position of search box, which is by default on right top corner?

Kerioak~Christine · « **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2013, 09:46 »

1. Try a different page template

2. Not a clue, you will have to delve into the coding side of things

Yes it worked. Sorry new to Wordpress so got a lot of questions.

Kerioak~Christine · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2013, 04:10 »

Good, pleased to hear it worked.

Once you are up and running with images then don't forget to list yourself in the Network Building - what are you looking for in a match - thread

Another question.. I have these adds on my website linked to some random text..It is really irritating.. How do I remove it?

Kerioak~Christine · « **Reply #17 on:** June 29, 2013, 05:37 »

Are you using a free host? If you have your own domain you should not have any adverts on your site.

What is your url

I looked at your site...I can't see any ads or anything that shouldn't be there.

A problem with your browser?

Nikd90 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 29, 2013, 10:43 »

I had an extension in my browser intelli text or sth.. disabled it and now it is fine..thanks

Nikd90 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 01, 2013, 12:00 »

Few more questions:

1) How to add the social network buttons at the bottom of the page? Which is a good widget that doesn't irritate while browsing and just sits nicely at the bottom or top of the page

2) I have uploaded 40 images. How do I add myself to the network?

3) How to make test purchases of image to check if it is working?

Nikd90 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 03, 2013, 09:05 »

Hi, Anyone ?

1) How to add the social network buttons at the bottom of the page? Which is a good widget that doesn't irritate while browsing and just sits nicely at the bottom or top of the page?

I have done it finally.

2) I have uploaded 40 images. How do I add myself to the network? Please help

3) How to make test purchases of image to check if it is working? Please help

4) How do I backup my website?

Kerioak~Christine · « **Reply #23 on:** July 03, 2013, 09:14 »

1. Would not have a clue - never use them and they do irritate me

2. - Once you are up and running with images then don't forget to list yourself in the Network Building - what are you looking for in a match - thread
You add other people to your network list and add yourself to the thread above and if others have spaces and like what they see they will add you to their networks. I do not have spaces anymore but you will be added via Ajt's site as that includes everyone in my network

3. You can try and work the sandbox out, or, more easily register on your site with a different email address and purchase one of your images. If you reduce the price it does not cost you as much in fees

4. Hopefully your host will be doing this automatically, I rely on them to do mine for me.

1. I use AddToAny Share Buttons by Lockerz in the footer section of my site.
