Warning: file_get_contents(/var/chroot/home/(full path removed)/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/img/symbiostock-watermark.png) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

This might be a really dumb question I'm asking...

You probably know its saying "hey, where's this file I'm supposed to be fetching?!"

Its referencing your child theme. Evidently you made an /img/ directory and put your watermark there? Perfectly fine and legit. It should work.

Your server path:

Code: [Select]

/var/chroot/home/(full path removed)/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/img/symbiostock-watermark.pngSo url should be

Code: [Select]

http://www.studiografi.com/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/img/symbiostock-watermark.png
If you paste that link into your browser like this - http://www.studiografi.com/wp-content/themes/symbiostock-child/img/symbiostock-watermark.png - you should see your watermark file. Faintly of course...it is a watermark.

But I get a 404 when I go there, so is it possible it doesn't exist? Like, its not there? I could be wrong.

Generally its cool to upload to the media area and just copy/paste the url into the field for your watermark.

[Leo Blanchette]

Well, i delete SS theme and upload last version. I was at least two versions back.

But i'm still facing upload issues. Upload runs ok, but when click "process images" , i can't see thumbs (see image) and later when i choose "process to publish" again nothing appears on screen.

Just two days ago was ok. I don't know what happened.

oh FYI - there are not supposed to be thumbnails on that particular screen. Its just ripping meta data from the full sized files and telling you if they are empty or not before you go to draft or publish. Its then that thumbnails and other previews are created.

White incomplete screen - That is a memory problem. By now we have enough history to know blank screen in image processor = ran out of memory. Hosting?

Which will bring me to my next post... below

Leo, the watermark was there.. I removed it and switched back to the main symbiostock theme.. that is why the watermark is no longer there, because I deleted that directory now..

but if you pasted it yesterday, you would have seen the watermark.. I will show you the new error message in a minute..

[cidepix]

ok here is the new error message after I switched to main theme and moved watermark to it's original folder:

[Leo Blanchette]

Taking some more time to look into it. I figured you may have deleted after the fact.

Leo, I have reached my hourly personal message limit, so sent you an email to your symbiostock address.. for now, I can not reply to PMs..

[Leo Blanchette]

Try this out and let me know if it solves anything.

yes it does Leo, great.. you are awesome!

what was the problem?

[Leo Blanchette]

I added a lame-o work around until I can get some help on converting an image url to a local path. In the meantime I wrote it in that if it doesn't find your file it will attempt to get it straight from the URL, which is not the best practice but good until my very smart friend gets back to me

[Leo Blanchette]

My brain is tired - but I think the other person we need to fix up is chico. Since they are on bluehost, there should not be a problem. I'll try to quickly see if the theme is lacking them tomorrow and stop with that fix - ie - get back to what I should be doing.

Great Leo..

would it still work if I turned allow_url_fopen = Off ?

I read on a few sites that it is better kept "off" for security reasons..

btw, what was the thing that I changed? because I don't remember changing anything..

Yes, it's me. I'll install new version and run some tests. All possible thanks are few.

How can do some donation to help your expenses with vacations or a new Ferrari? Someone who lives in Hawai needs vacations? 

[Chico]

Install new version, but still not working.

Now, i can't reach "process images" screen. When i choose "process to publish" and click "process image" (like image below *** forget thumb is misssing info), system goes into looping and reload same page. Try several times with same result.





I'm trying upload via FTP right now.

[Kerioak~Christine]

I am using 1.1.9 and is uploading and processing as expected.
child-theme not activated (only just noticed this but as I could not work out what to do with it fairly irrelevant anyway)
SEO and Slideshow plug-ins active.
No idea if this helps anyone who is having problems but thought I would post in case


Some sub-categories show they have contents but come up with nil result (cats and seamless for instance)

I have an ALL in my category section which used to show everything, now it just picks up two bird pictures

[Chico]

Ok, i did upload via FTP, but still having issues. Problem is the same. Images not show after upload.

Maybe memory setup?

I think you should wait until leo is available..

I created an admin account for him on my site so he could have a closer look at the issue.. only then he was able to track the problem down..

   - if I add -images in the slug this fixes it

A good way to check whether links are likely to be working properly is to mouse over the categories on your live site and look at the URL that is displayed in the bottom pane of the browser. If that matches the "URL slug" of your category, you should be in good shape. I just noticed that one of mine had "celebrations-images-images" which is not right. However, investigating this took me another more worrying issue. I thought I could fix this by editing the slugurl - when I did - no images appeared under this category although the category list under RF images shows 3 images present.

So, I deleted the category, recreated it and reattached my three images to it. Again, the admin page shows 3 images - the live site (with refreshes) shows none.

Worried that the word "celebrations" may be clashing somewhere with a tag, I created a new category called "rubbishcategory" and assigned one different image to it. Now when I search the live site for this category, I see no images, but if I search for my celebrations category, I see the image I assigned to "rubbishcategory". Very strange!

This post was going to say - all is fine with my installation, as I've done nothing recently apart from upgrade to the latest theme (not last nights), and add more images. This last experiment has left me wondering if I need to test more deeply again. I think we may be getting into quick fixes for issues that come up, and maybe breaking other things at the same time.

I updated with the last theme and now search engine cannot find my pictures:(

[steheap]

This is a question now for Leo if he is able to look at the posts. I investigated the SQL tables to see if I could spot the issue with my wrong categories.

In table: gli_term_taxonomy, which is where the categories and tags are given IDs, all of the categories have the same term_taxonomy_ID and term_ID, except for the two that I just created this morning. My rubbish category has 551 for the first and 550 for the second. My celebrations category has 550 and 549. I haven't tracked these through into other tables, but could that be why I am seeing the wrong image appear in the search by category, and also why other people are not getting the results they expected?

[steheap]

Edit:

I followed the taxonomy_ID through to the Objects - this is pointing to the right image. So my rubbishcategory image has the correct category assigned to it (as far as I can see).

I think I understand this now - and perhaps the mismatch isn't the issue. As far as I can see, the category name (rubbishcategory) and slug are tied to a term_ID (550), which is tied to a taxonomy_term_ID (549) which is linked to the objects (images) (231). 231 is the image I assigned to the rubbishcategory. So that all seems to play out OK.

However, in the live site, when I search for my category (celebrations), term_ID 249, this is linked to taxonomy_term_ID (550) which is linked to the three objects (240, 243 and 249)

The database seems correct - is your theme picking up the wrong field in the database - ie when I search for "rubbish", it should start with term_ID 550 but it is picking up the taxonomy_term-ID instead (which is not the same in my case although it is for almost all other categories) and so the search brings up the wrong images.

Eureka - that sounds plausible!!

More issues with the last release, first time I got this error on process images

This sort of issue is related to the wrong pointer to the watermark image. If you click on the file URL in the error message (where it tries to load the watermark), you get a file not found.

I'm not sure if the theme has modified the path it is looking for, or the image has been moved for some reason.

The safest approach is to upload your logos and watermarks using the media:new media part of wordpress. This stores those images outside the Sybmio theme altogether and so no changes in Sybmbio will affect them. I've done that and have not had issues since

Have a look at Leo's reply #406 above. I think it is exaclty this issue resolved. MicrostockExp: do you have version that Leo posted there?

[Kerioak~Christine]

I was searching to see if anyone else has category issues and found a post from Leo which I think is asking about this (I say I think because his post was technical) so will keep uploading and wait a couple of weeks for him to come back and see if he has found a fix.  I tried uploading various pages from previous versions of symbio but apparently did not find the right one.  I have not had a chance to upload for a couple of days so have not been checking categories, just uploading recent versions

[MicrostockExp]

Thanks Steve I moved my watermark and logo to a safer place, processing working now but still having trouble with search engine.
I installed the update from #406
