I don’t think I understand though. I installed it but I still get to the login in window if I go through
http://sitename.com/wp-login.php
What am I missing? hehe

I’d like to recommend a simple but very useful security plugin made by my developer. They launched it today and I was the first one to install it on the Food Shop. I know how it’s working because they did a similar plugin for my Shopartgallery.com site and I wanted for WordPress too because is great. They put it in WordPress.org and is free for the base features or 6 dollars for the full version. It’s adding a secret word to your link for login into your admin area in order that only you can access that login place and no other hacker. This is the link: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-admin-protection/
Thanks very much! I’ve read it over and installing it to try it out now/

Oh and the thread where I got that link from is here …
It’s got lots of info on this.

Hi all, I can’t find out what the reason is I can’t upload some images. Maybe you have suggestions for me? No error messages, nothing. But also not uploading.
Since I’m the first to answer I can give you some ideas that I learnt from others and they can jump in and provide more info. I’ve seen some people have problems uploading files larger than 10megs. I know there is a tutorial on it right here but I cannot recall offhand. So this could be the issue. I did find this one though. Same topic.

There also seems to be an issue for some people with accents and spaces in the file name so check that as well. I try to keep all my file names without special characters and no spaces. So “Filé Nàme¿ 1.jpg” becomes “FileName1.jpg”
Lastly, you may be trying to upload too many files in one go. I try to keep my batches smallish. I do about 10-30 files at a time.

Edit: I just saw Christine post the link 😀
Hi Simply!
Welcome to SymbioStock. It often looks more complicated than it really is. I started out just as you did and read the step by step guide to getting your site up. The rest I asked people questions when I got stuck and couldn’t find an answer.
Jo
Ok! Working on my end. You can delete the username if you want 🙂

I can’t log in with either Chrome, IE or Firefox. The button to login does nothing I’m afraid!

Hi
I just thought you might want to know that your site no longer loads for me (I’m in South Africa) unless I hide my IP address. This is the second site in the last few months with this problem.
I’m wondering if there isn’t something in the settings that people are tweaking. Anyway, just thought I’d let you know. It may be affecting other parts of the world too.

I agree with everything said so far. I’d just like to add that you must brand yourself. As much as I like my privacy I’ve learnt that reputation is built online and with search engines. My blog is not very active but it has been around for years. It buys me a chunk of credibility!
So I say to everyone, follow these suggestions above. Get yourself a social media everything! Personally I think it is all a load of crock but it works! The sooner you get yourself on these sites the quicker the site can “mature”. I may be wrong but I really believe this.
Once you have those media sites, personal sites, and anything else up and running, link them ALL up to each other where ever you can. By posting, by inserting the various sites into your menus, and anything else you can think of.
Search engines love this criss-cross action. To me it’s all just viral rubbish but this is the system we have currently so either you stay home and knit jerseys or you try it out.
I know that social media can take up your time but honestly … I never use twitter and I have an account. IF I get someone chatting to me on there, I’ll reply. If not, then no harm done. They cannot contact you if you are not there.
I know that some of you may think that this doesn’t really apply to photography but it does! I also do these things because I write and I’m trying to sell books but one photograph washes the other books back!
I’m also a great believer that you MUST give something back to your potential customers other than a bill! Tempt people to come see for themselves. Don’t look at my site (stockyimage) for that though LOL! I haven’t had time to get to it for months, but I intend to do a massive overhaul soon ….

I will definitely discuss the plugin idea! I’m going to sell digital downloads in the first hand, but I will also team up with a print company that can handle print orders. And I will also offer that service during the events. Having a booth where people can print images from the event instantly. I think that’s a good way to market yourself and for your clients to meet you in person. Will make them more comfortable to order online if they have met the people behind the company in person. Well, that’s what I hope anyway, haha!
Have anyone tried to change the currency to a value that is not yet supported by SYM?
And I also just bought the Premium version, just to support this awesome theme!
I’m also very interested in a print option for my site but my coding knowledge isn’t enough to get it done. I was thinking of creating another gallery independently but the best would be a combined integrated approach.
Let us know how you progress because I’m very interested 🙂

Keep the forums open and the spoilers out.
If you notice any “spoilers” please do not respond and feed them, just use the report option on the post and one of the moderators will deal with it
This is a very good idea! Give Christine a big stick! She’ll sort ’em out 😀

I still stick my vote in “free image section” only for who has already bought some image, in other words, my customer. So I would give it if my customer already bought for example 10* images and I would give one for free at his/her choice.
(*) In the back-end/plug-in would set the number of images to buy to get the free one for free, example: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
After this customer getting the free image, it would reset the counter and start over.
Also in the back-end would set if the promotion keeps going or have a limit, so would set::
[ ] life for every x images bought;
[ ] x times;
[ ] never – Do not provide such promotion.
The plug-in would send an email warning, if you buy one more image you’re ready to get one for free and so on.I think this is a fantastic idea too. I’ve often thought about a rewards system as you have mentioned above. It would be a great plugin or SymbioStock feature.
In my case, with not a single sale, I mainly need people to visit and get some interest going so offering some free images would help. Unfortunately I also don’t currently have many files up. I hope to find some time to change that in the next few months.
