Symbiostock 4.0 Is Here
It’s been a little while since our core Symbiostock system received a major update. Symbiostock 4.0 is a massive update and it’s available now!
Remember, our updates are completely free, just like Symbiostock Pro, so there’s no reason to think twice about keeping your site up to date with the latest version.
There are two large developments that come with this release:
- Symbiostock 4.0 is compatible with Woocommerce 3.0.7 – this is the very latest version of Woocommerce. Woocommerce 3.0 was released last month and was a key update that added a variety of improvements and additions to Woocommerce. Once you have updated to Symbiostock 4.0, you can update your Woocommerce install by manually uninstalling then reinstalling Woocommerce (this will not affect your products).
- Symbiostock 4.0 is compatible with PHP 7.1.
Other practical improvements to note:
- Max image size default increased to 200MB from 100MB
- Downloading of original media tweaked for large files
- Fallback resolution for unspecified licenses changed to 5000 pixels from 6000 pixels
Symbiostock 4.0 also has a variety of systemic and security improvements, adding to the robustness of the software.
Sale: Grab Symbiostock Maps for half price!
To celebrate the Symbiostock 4.0 update, we’re temporarily marking down Symbiostock Maps to $25 (normally $49).
Symbiostock Maps was released six months ago and it’s a fantastic way of sprucing up your website with an interactive element for your visitors. Symbiostock Maps reads GPS information from your images and uses the Google Maps API to create an interactive, clickable map which showcases the locations of your media products. You can also manually add GPS data to your vectors and videos by editing individual product pages, to include these media files on your map. Maps is a cool optional plugin and highly customizable in appearance to match the design of your website.
