In Photoshop I do the maximum which is 12 – files usually end up being between 5-15mb. Quality is unsurpassed – no compression artifacts or anything. JPEG format. Since you’re using Linux, I would say go with 100%. I tried to carry that same mentality over to videos and it does not work there – you can go maximum 80% or so with videos to get an acceptable file size.
1) This is sort of true, but as the network expands, it won’t be. Especially if your are well keyworded. No matter what your niche, you will end up having some generalized words such as ‘food’ and the widget automatically tries to diversify the number of sites it gets results from. If, however, you only have ‘purplelithuanianpuppy’ as the one title, tag, and description, then yes, it will be hard to find anything else related to it.
2) The widget was only released about a month ago – widgetizing WordPress is, in and of itself, not a simple process because not all themes have widget spots where we would like them. So it takes time to implement it. I think, overall, most long term contributors have been pretty proactive about trying to boost the network.
3) I am now focusing on getting the Symzio agency system going. This will focus the entire project into one site. That way, widget or not, we can still send customers to it.
Should be fixed now.
FYI, I am aware that the icons are not showing up on some sites – working on it.
Hi Teresa,
We do not have specific guidelines as to when your site will be reviewed. We generally do a quick check as soon as it is submitted to determine if it can be approved immediately. If it cannot, it goes into queue, and then it takes time.

I checked your site, and it appeared to not be related to microstock. Let me know when you get your store up and have images for sale on the submitted URL that reflect the quality of your work. I’ll then take another swing at it.
Alas, in the competitive world of microstock, where appearances are everything, where we struggle to find our own spot in the pond, despite being lighter and just as healthy, does it aid our endeavor to provide bait that appears smaller than others?
After doing extensive testing, we’ve installed the best premium Social sharing plugin we could find with a lot of internal tweaks and customizations. You can see it live here:

It’s really pretty cool – thanks for pressing for this Ronald. You can add it via the plugins menu now.
URL works fine – cron job result appears to be fine too, so you should be good to go.
It only displays random images when it is not on a search or product page – otherwise it shows relevant images. So the purpose of it is to let your visitors see other people’s images, and vice versa, to keep every visitor within independent sites as long as possible.
Regardless, this is the first stage of it. I am now looking to fast track the Symzio agency/search engine to provide direct sales to customers on behalf of independents.
Sometimes the footage needs to be in another directory, so you can check if that’s the case. if not, it is probably something to do with their system. If a majority of the footage was sent properly, it is unlikely to be the system.
But I’m glad you’re happy with it – I could not survive without the keywording + distribution.
That won’t work because the file cannot be executed through Linux. Try using this:
It may work for your needs as it seems to provide exactly what is needed – free too.
Docs on the processor:
http://www.symbiostock.org/docs/setting-up-the-schedulerimage-processor/
Processing images should be relatively quick as long as the processor has been added to run on your system’s scheduler once a minute. It does not run automatically as WordPress does not have a built in cron function (the makeshift one they use, that all other plugins use, is triggered on page loads – this is not desirable as if you have heavy processing, it will hang for a visitor and there is also the chance that the visitor can cancel the processing in the middle of it)
Again, the speed and efficacy of the processor depends on your server and will vary considerably. However, with Imagick, it is relatively fast.
Done with tweaking it for now.
Out of about 20 pages, about 3 loaded slow randomly (when I refreshed, they were fast, etc).
The way it loaded slow appeared to be related to database queries. One interesting thing is the way WooCommerce works is that it caches related products for about 30 days – so the first time you load a product that has related products, it does a lot more database work than the next time you view that same product.
Nevertheless, I am convinced this has nothing to do with WooCommerce, WordPress or Symbiostock and is related to you being on a shared server where the database is randomly being saturated. You can install different plugins to compensate for this, but will get mixed results, as you are seeing. If you are able to get it to work at a level you are content with, good stuff.
Speed is very dependent on the server and your distance to it. Six seconds is an insanely long amount of time – that is not normal.
Steve’s site:
http://www.backyardstockphotos.com/image/teco-railcar-to-ybor-city-in-tampa/
has something like 7000 images or something, and pages are loading in about a second for me.
Cristina is on PLUS and has over 2000 images I think:
http://innerstock.com/media/lenita-swimwear/
Again, about a second load time for me.
I do not think this is a WooCommerce, Symbiostock or WordPress issue – it appears to be either a database issue, a web server issue, or it may not even be an issue – it may be due to your specific IP location and the distance to the server. Sometimes a hop gets congested and only locally to you does it run sporadically slow. Post your site here and let others see if it loads fast or slow for them.
Shared servers generally get congested with database queries, and without doubt, WooCommerce requires a lot of database speed as well.
