Hi guys, just wondering, is everything stable now? Are all bugs fixed?

I am ready to take the plunge. I am at 2.5.5. at the moment, and I want to get the latest free version and the latest pro plugin. How do I best approach my upgrade? What are the latest version numbers?


And then, I do need support from Leo about my keywords, I will have to bother you once more  ;)  I will PM you about that, if you dont mind.

I the plugin live on your site? I can do a test purchase?

I'm getting out.
Too expensive, too buggy, too time consuming.
Only the developers earn currently on this project.
And wait I did not have time, I'm no longer the youngest.
A lot of luck and success for you, people!

Leo made the plugin live, but it wasn't working before that either. Yes you can make a test purchase. Pick one, I will refund your money back. There was an update to 2.6.4 this morning. I applied that, too, and it still doesnt work. Leo said he fixed that on jsnover's site, but mine remains useless.  :(

edit: let me go toggle the stuff on and off, just in case that does anything. edit: done, test away

To be honest, setting up 2.5.5 will probably be a few hours, including tweaking. I had little issues with setting up the site, and I have been very happy with Symbiostock. I do realise every new release can have some issues, so I choose to update when things are ironed out.

I dont think there is a better, quicker, cheaper option out there at the moment. And if you know one, I would like you to name it.

And the support from the community is unchallenged.

Pretty stable here at the moment but every hosting environment is different and there is no way to tell if it's going to be stable for everyone..

A while back everyone's sites were stable and mine was having a lot of issues..

Luckily Leo was able to fix godaddy related bugs.. and as you mentioned growing community is the biggest plus..

I don't get that. I have the same host I have had since day one. All the previous versions I didn't have the problem. I'm on Bluehost, the recommended hosting site. I never had this issue from the beginning, and now I have it. Nothing on my end has changed. To me it doesn't make sense.

Got the refund, thanks, sorry its not working. I wish I could help, but I cant.

I will wait for some people to wake up and if they can point me to the best way to upgrade the free and pro version, I will dive in.

I dont have a test site set up, and at this point thats too much work, so I will just upgrade on the live site.

Thanks, any advice on how to proceed to get from free 2.5.5 to 2.6.4 and 1.1.7

Redneck

I would simply do the theme update inside WP admin area. Then activate a standard WP theme (I usually use Twenty Eleven), then re-activate the current (2.6.4) Symbiostock theme and then activate your child theme.

When you're done with the theme, purchase the plugin and activate it.

Now I'm on 2.6.4 BTW. Also without any issues.

Ok, cool, going for it now

Ron

Ok, I purchased the plugin but there is no way to see which versions I bought. The file name really needs to indicate what I bought, I have no clue now.

Redneck

My guess would be that's the most current version. If not, simply wait for the update, run it, deactivate the newly installed plugin, then re-activate it.

Just install the plugin ... if it is not the most recent version you will be informed like for any other plugin  ... and can update with one click within seconds

If you know how to get to it, the version number is in styles.css.

Ok, no big issues, its all working and updated. All custom changes applied. Looks good. Image processor is working. I didnt do a test purchase yet.

Only two problems, the EL I created doesnt show up and the symbiostock card of my own site is blank and the text field for the URL is locked.

Not too bad.

Loving the new keyword search. Works fine. Now I need to fix my keyword spam with the help of Leo.

So far so good.

Ron

Ok, I need to use the batch editor to assign the licence. Thats working fine too. Great stuff

Just one problem, once the license is selected, it cant be deselected, and the price is not visible when its not selected, that needs to be changed. the price needs to be visible at all times. Also the license need to be able to be deselected again

For a couple of months, I've gotten this message when trying to upload:  "You browser doesn't have Flash, Silverlight, Gears, BrowserPlus or HTML5 support."  Somebody suggested deactivating plugins until the issue was resolved.  I tried it with no success.  I've just been uploading to the uploads folder, but now that has disappeared.  The "pluload" part of "/home1/dannyhoo/public_html/hookstockimages/wp-content/plupload/uploads/" is gone.  I'm not able to upload anymore.  Any ideas?

Update to latest version then turn the theme off then on again. That action runs the installer which should update your folder.

Ron

To be honest, that was really effortless and smooth. I am almost sure it is because I have no heavy customisation done. Its just Symbiostock and Go, for me.

Thanks Leo, just replied to you email and you should have a pending PM from me.  ;)
