As many know I had all sorts of issues with my web hosting and not being able to get Symbiostock working.
Anyway I made the move to Blue Host …. wow what a difference.
Installed WordPress, installed Symbiostock, installed dragonfly.Now am up and running … made sure the image uploader worked and image page showed what they were supposed to … yay all present and correct, now I am onto doing menus and things.
It did upload the photo and it did upload a vector … awesome!I have created pages for my external stuff and have them in a menu … not sure if I did it right … but for now they are there. Lots more to work out yet.
I have to thank the people in the technical forum for their help 🙂
Wendy, that’s wonderful news to hear all is working smoothly for you now! It’s surprising to see the effect a host can have on the function of the site. I think of the host as just a system to park on but clearly whatever they do in the background can have a lot of impact on our programs.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing your site when you’ve got it ready to share.

I agree after nearly 3 weeks of stress, things have been going smoothly ….
Here is the progress so far 🙂 … still a little way to go with things but we are getting there slowly
By the way is there anyway to change the currency to australia dollars?
Currency changes, yyou will find this ubder the Symbiostock bee option in your dashboard under the settings tab
I will post a link to the bit of the tutorial that covers this

As for currency though, there is no AU dollar option at the moment, I have just stuck to US as it’s probably more commonly accepted anyway.
All the best with it.
View my portfolio at THPStock Direct via Microstock Man. I also do Web Design & Graphic Design.
Congrats on your new site Wendy 🙂
Very interesting about the “hosting effect” what hosting gave you problems ?
My Very Best 🙂

KimsCreativeHub.comThank you for the congrats … its building nicely I hope.
The host I was with was EasyCGI and I had been with them for years … so far Blue Host is proving very user friendly.I have my cart menu showing up and a menu under my header file …. so onto the next part …. 😀 talk about a learning curve phew!
you can keep the US currency, but note that you will accept other currencies thru paypal, and then make sure your paypal account reflects that

Good point I will have to check that 🙂
My Paypal accepts USD so hopefully that will be enough. (have added the other options .. I had forgotten how to do it lol)
I now have 6 images up there, I have not checked to see if Paypal works yet …. but if someone wants to take a look and see if it works, then that would be cool 🙂I had problems the first time through creating an account, but I’m not sure why. I tried a second time and things worked fine.
I was able to make a purchase via PayPal (just refund the money when you get a minute) and the file hasn’t yet moved into the download area. Sometimes it’s slow, so I’ll just wait a bit and try again in a few

KimsCreativeHub.comI just spoke to another person who said that they also had to change web sites from EasyCGI as they were “useless” … one to avoid I think!
I received the refund – thanks – but I still don’t have the image in the download area – it’s in the cart still.
Have a look at some of the other threads on this to check and see that you either have no IPN or the correct one filled in (and check the PayPal end of that too)
