Anyone still using the original version of Symbiostock?
cidepix:
I too am still using the original version.
Last time I updated was a few months ago and it still works well.. (I am not on the latest version of WordPress yet)
As Jo Ann pointed out, it's not the WordPress version that breaks it; it is php 7 or later php versions. When I switch to php 5.x, it is business as usual.

good attitude! And good point, Never Change a Running Team.
BTW, myself looking into PVS (photoVideoStore) for WP https://wordpress.org/plugins/photo-video-store/ which is incredibly feature-rich. Any opinion on that one (except that it's sure not good old original-Symbiostock)?

haven't looked & probably won't - can't see investing time (and $?) in a new self-hosted site that's unlikely t sell. i increased my presence on FAA but same -- a scattering of sales - they do have a nice widget you can place on your website

A short update to my site's status. It's no longer a Symbiostock site.
I received email a week or so ago that in mid October, Bluehost (my hosting company) will be requiring an update to PhP as 5.x is considered a security risk.
Up till now, I've been editing the htaccess file to keep the PhP version at 5.x but as that will no longer be an option, my Symbiostock site's done.
I have a placeholder for now so the blogs are still available, and for fun, I added FAA's cart widget to the home page so a visitor can get an idea of my work. I'm working on bringing licensing back - not a high volume proposition, I know, but I want to have a place to license work where I don't have to (a) share with agencies and (b) can upload something in real time should the need arise.
