i finally took the plung and did a test install of symbiostock on my windows 8 laptop
I installed - wamp - wordpress 3.6 - symbiostock theme and childtheme (following the instructions) and got the site up and running.
I could upload some pictures edit them and assign categories.
The search shows there thumbnails but when i click on a thumbnail the image can not be found
I get a page saying
"Oops! That page can’t be found.
It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try one of the links below or a search?"
Any hint where to search ?

Someone else is having this problem at the moment I think because of where she has installed her wordpress.
What is your site name so the technically minded can take a look when they arrive
-
...please check if you have set under Wordpress > Settings > Permalinks > Postname
If not, just click the checkbox and reload your page.

My problem is different. I can click on thumbs and see images without any problem (as long as they're not from the SYXtra plugin).
In Settings/General I have the WordPress URL as sitename.com/blog and the Site URL as sitename.com. That is a WordPress recommended way of installing and Leo yesterday said he thought he had a fix that would make this work as it should.
The symptoms I see are that my networking stuff - and symbiocard - have the wrong URLs, as does any e-mail sent - such as to a buyer who just created an account. They should use the site URL and it is using the WordPress URL.

Thanks for the tips.
My install is a local test install the url is left default
http://localhost/wordpress-1/wordpress (http://localhost/wordpress-1/wordpress)
This is also the wordpress url and site url in general settings
when I change the setting permalinks to "post name" the site stops working completely

...then something is completely wrong. You should consider a complete reinstall and confige the postname right from the beginning...

did a new fresh install of wordpress 3.6 - installed the theme and child theme and updated main theme to latest version.

I just doublechecked on Leos site about the postname - just in case if I got something wrong - and here is the reference:
http://www.symbioguides.com/getting-started/initial-setup-menus/ (http://www.symbioguides.com/getting-started/initial-setup-menus/)
However, does it end up in a white screen after selecting the postname or the same "404 oops" page? The "oops" page is assumed when not selecting postname, if it ends up in a white screen there might be another problem on a deeper level...
-
When I leave the permalink settings to "default" the site is working fine. The oops page is only showing when I click an image thumbnail.
... Anyway I learned a lot on wordpress doing this exercise and that's a very good thing.
On the other side I really don't think symbiostock is quit ready to go life and can be a service to real customers.
I will do a new test in due course but I still have my doubts if wordpress is the road to go since all the depencies on their platform.
Time will tell just Keep up the good work.

Your experiences are not a reflection on Symbiostock but on people who don't RTFM. Leo made it very clear from day 1 that the permalinks had to be set to Post Name, not only to make the site work but for SEO.
Notice this step in Amanda's detailed tutorial:

I know this, I followed the turorial stritkly but it does not work for me (pobably I did something wrong two times, but what?)
What is RTFM ? I'm NNES - (Not Native English Speaking :) )

Read The F***ing Manual...
As it's a local WAMP install, is mod_rewrite enabled in your Apache setup?

Probably I missed this step in the manual but I will google how to check the mod_rewrite.
Thanks

If you're using WAMPserver then when it's running left-click on the tray icon, go to Apache > Apache modules and see that rewrite_module is ticked. If not, tick it, restart the Apache service, and try again. This is what operates on the rewrite rules that WP puts in your .htaccess file.

Thank you once again, this did the thrick :D
Links are working and photo's are showing.
I 'll continue testing and learn how the system works.
Already found and installed the Ajt stock plugin and even added some code to show prints on Artflakes. It's becoming more fun now.

Congrats that you made it!
The deeper you dig into the structure and very base of the internet the more one has to understand the complexity involved with maintaining functions which seem so natural and easy to the end customer on the other side of the Browser :-)
