Imago Borealis

As soon I came across your instructions on how to disable automatic WP core updates I applied it to my site. While I can see the downside of potential security risks, I never liked automatic updates. I like to be in control. Now, your idea of including an option to enable/disable it through the settings would be the luxury version of being in…[Read more]

Yes, Robin, I agree, the maker of this truck wouldn’t be happy to see this image in a commercial ad of one of their competitors. But still, excluding this image from all commercial use because of this case seems a bit excessive, don’t you think? I mean, wouldn’t the same maker of this truck be quite happy to see their truck in an ad for, say, an…[Read more]

What am I supposed to do on Symzio with a photo like this one: 

I have no property release, all logos, trademarks etc have been removed. But, of course, someone knowing trucks very well could possibly recognize which make the truck is.

I submitted this image to a dozen (or so) agencies. Two rejected it for lacking property release. All the…[Read more]

Good discussion. I am with Steve on this one. It has been always my understanding that it is the publisher who is responsible for proper authorization according to the image’s type of use. However, if we sell licenses under false pretense, like claiming there is full release when there isn’t, we might be found liable as well.

To be safe, I think…[Read more]

I updated the plugin and had no trouble processing these large files now. Although I couldn’t see anything being wrong or missing with the processed files, i.e. published products, I found the following in my error_log:

Yes, but many if not most of my image captions are too long for the 155 (or so) characters the meta description allows. So they get truncated and what remains doesn’t really cut it for the purpose.

You are right about the Yoast’s Focus Keyword being just an internal gauge. I find it very helpful to locate the image pages that still need work. The meta description is the short text that shows on Google (and other search pages) below the title. While it is not (very) important for your ranking, it is very important when it comes to the…[Read more]

Very nicely integrated in your product pages, Andre. I also realize that the widget seems to show related images. I wasn’t aware it would do that. Great feature.

Thanks Robin, very much appreciated!

Hi Steve,

that is great news! I clicked the link to the image and landing on your product page for that image I noticed the GPS location seemed to be totally off. If it has been correct at some point in the past this might be due to the same GPS bug I reported here: GPS Bug? Hope that will help Robin tracking this one down…
