One last question – do we say that PHP 5.4 isn’t supported at this point?
Yes, in PHP 5.4 (and 5.5) there is a problem with downloading images (blank screen), so we should stay at 5.3 until new Symbio version is out.
Go to your cpanel (or whatever you have in your hosting) and find php version. If 5.4.x, select 5.3.x (there should be such option).
Symbio map would also update itself, but I think that you should be more patient and wait one more day or so. Sometimes Google needs one day to fetch symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml and next day to look into it and fetch symbiostock_image_sitemap_1.xml (and next files, if site has more than 2000 images). 🙂

QUESTION FOR MODERATOR: Should we retitle this thread to be more specific and useful, perhaps “Disappearing Menu Items” ? Others may hit this problem in the future, so perhaps this will help somebody else down the road.
Done. Could you tell us, what exactly was done?
Yes, delete this record and try to add licenses.
I also don’t have moderating rights in some boards (these created after we became moderators I suppose).
OK, and check all carts, if they are visible in cart manager and in your test account. They also have similar format in database (table wp_usermeta, records with ‘symbiostock_cart’ in field meta_key). Example cart info from my site (field meta_value):
s:270:”a:4:{s:4:”site”;s:17:”http://ajotte.com”;s:10:”cart_email”;s:14:”ajt@ajotte.com”;s:8:”products”;a:1:{i:1846;a:5:{s:4:”type”;s:3:”jpg”;s:4:”size”;s:1:”2″;s:9:”size_name”;s:6:”medium”;s:5:”price”;s:5:”10.00″;s:8:”discount”;s:1:”0″;}}s:4:”date”;s:19:”2013-09-03 20:37:49″;}”;
Plugin for replacing domain address (I suppose that you’ve used it) probably changed only addresses. In above example this “http://ajotte.com” has 17 characters, so there is s:17 before it. This value should be changed too. Also s:14:”ajt@ajotte.com” and s:270 at beginning. After changing domain to ajt.com new cart should be
s:264:”a:4:{s:4:”site”;s:14:”http://ajt.com”;s:10:”cart_email”;s:11:”ajt@ajt.com”;s:8:”products”;a:1:{i:1846;a:5:{s:4:”type”;s:3:”jpg”;s:4:”size”;s:1:”2″;s:9:”size_name”;s:6:”medium”;s:5:”price”;s:5:”10.00″;s:8:”discount”;s:1:”0″;}}s:4:”date”;s:19:”2013-09-03 20:37:49″;}”;
Now licenses again.
Example – two licenses created now, are written to wp_options table like here:
s:359:”a:2:{i:0;a:6:{s:2:”id”;i:1599216;s:4:”type”;s:1:”3″;s:4:”name”;s:17:”Editorial license”;s:3:”url”;s:0:””;s:8:”location”;s:1:”1″;s:6:”action”;s:1:”1″;}i:1;a:7:{s:2:”id”;i:1120299;s:4:”type”;s:1:”0″;s:4:”name”;s:14:”Custom license”;s:3:”url”;s:22:”http://ajotte.com/eula”;s:8:”location”;s:1:”1″;s:6:”action”;s:1:”1″;s:23:”ss_price_apply_to_large”;s:5:”20.00″;}}”;
I wrote earlier, that you should delete record from table. You can try to fix it, editing lengths. In above example, after replacing ajotte->ajt, it should be:
s:356:”a:2:{i:0;a:6:{s:2:”id”;i:1599216;s:4:”type”;s:1:”3″;s:4:”name”;s:17:”Editorial license”;s:3:”url”;s:0:””;s:8:”location”;s:1:”1″;s:6:”action”;s:1:”1″;}i:1;a:7:{s:2:”id”;i:1120299;s:4:”type”;s:1:”0″;s:4:”name”;s:14:”Custom license”;s:3:”url”;s:19:”http://ajt.com/eula”;s:8:”location”;s:1:”1″;s:6:”action”;s:1:”1″;s:23:”ss_price_apply_to_large”;s:5:”20.00″;}}”;
This info it very important to everyone moving site to new domain. It is easy only with no carts and no licenses.
Changing domain name probably corrupted licenses info hold in wp_options table. This info contains license url and this url was replaced by new one (this info is hold as some kind of array, where some numeric values are lengths of other fields, so they all have to match each other – changing only one value, as url, without changing others, destroys this data format). You can go to phpmyadmin, find record in table wp_options with option_name ‘ss_licenses’ and delete it. Then you should create all licenses again (those already applied to images should be safe during this process).
Update:
Licenses applied to images now also contain new license url, so this info also is corrupted. I don’t know, if applying new licenses would regenerate them.Update 2:
I would try this:
1. Edit database and delete record (as stated above).
2. Add new licenses.
3. Batch edit images, uncheck licenses, then save. It should delete licenses from images.
4. Batch edit images again and add new licenses.And did it help?
I’m not sure that this is the reason, because Christine is doing something with her site today 🙂This is related to Syxtra plugin. Maybe try to update it?
To be sure:
There can be two different size issues:
– first for size in megabytes, increasing upload_max_filesize should help,
– second for size in megapixels. To solve this, you should increase memory_limit (and/or switch to ImageMagick, if you are using GD. IM needs much less memory for image processing).Both sitemaps are updated by plugins once a day and are fetched by google automatically, so there is no need to update them manually.
I’ve found this:
http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/category/exclusive-images/
Probably you created blog category with slug “exclusive-images”.Yes, it is a feature. Look here:
http://cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=35
River is in extended keywords in http://stockimages.glennspecht.com/, so you saw results from this site. It works in both directions – you have beach in your promoted keywords, so results from your site will be shown in other sites, even if they don’t have your site in their networks.If you don’t like this feature, you can go to Bee->Marketing and exclude all sites ( but I am not sure, if excluding works already).

Very cool! This will come in very handy for the SymbioStock iOS app I am planning on developing, assuming it is ok with you of course.
I made it because I saw your post about iOS app, so it is especially for you 🙂
Let me know, if you need different data format or other info available.
