The editorial tag is set on a product by product basis. So once you set the product to editorial, all the same licenses convert to it.
So if you have “Small JPEG” you can use that for both editorial and non-editorial images. Currently, there is no bulk way of editing the editorial setting.
I think you should stick with one or the other – I don’t have too much experience comparing the two, but right now we are using WordPress SEO (which is also called Yoast SEO) and I find it reasonably useful.
I would recommend that one of the first things you do is when you go into the SEO settings, you go to Titles and Metas, Post Types, and under all of the Meta description template you put ‘%%excerpt%%’
This will use your image description as the meta description on every page which is a really good start.
Thanks Georgio, and keep us posted on the password thing. Good luck with the site buddy!
Okay, i’ve actually gone in and fixed that double issue that happens on foreign dashboards – if you want, redownload 1.2 and it should remove it. No emergency, just if you want.
I’ve seen that double thing show up on a foreign install of WP as well. It may very well be a bug, but not a severe one. i will look into fixing it in future releases.
An easy way to overcome it is to disable “simplify interface”. But in my opinion just live with it for now. 🙂
One idea we’re toying with is the notion of just deleting the category in the hope that it removes all the products from it. If someone wants to test it out and post results, let us all know.
Let me know once it is resolved.
And yes, it installs ss_media in your base wordpress install folder – not the wp-content one.
Yeah, permission errors are kind of hit and miss. Most WordPress stuff tries to work with what’s there, but if there is a permission error then there’s nothing the plugin can do. It’s a security thing on your server. Changing the permissions should definitely fix it.
Symbiostock checks those core folders with every admin page load to ensure they exist.
Basically that code attempts to create the .htaccess file for your media directory so no one else can access it. If that directory’s user permissions have changed, or an .htaccess file has been put there that is not writable, this error will occur.
Mind you, you can disable the warnings and it will still work fine. This is just a security measure that Symbiostock employs to make sure your files are not publicly accessible.
I’ve confirmed that the original release of Symbiostock 1.0 had the exact same code there that the new one does – it must have something to do with your server, or some change implemented. Did you move directories or change permissions of directories or something?
This issue seems to be unique to your server – PM me your admin password/username and url so I can check it out.
We haven’t had this issue on any of the test sites – in fact, that portion of the code hasn’t even been changed.
Hey Les – I moved it into it’s own thread:

No worries Giorgio. We’ll be releasing 1.2 soon, it is a significant upgrade. In retrospect a majority of the bugs and fixes are related to more properly plugging Symbiostock into WordPress and WooCommerce.
Thanks for reaching out, and if you have time, leave us a review on WordPress. Also once your site is live, I’d love to see it in the Artist Network which we are slowly but surely building.
Hi Georgio,
I am glad the issue was resolved – there currently is an issue where if you delete a license globally it does not delete the license from the product. It then reverts that license in the product to ‘any license’. This is a WooCommerce limitation and bug, but it is fixed in the next release (1.2).
Regarding #3 and #4, we are now talking about the benefit of using WooCommerce with Symbiostock. You see, Symbiostock operates primarily through the backend. Therefore, if you want to password protect certain areas of the site, finding a plugin or WooCommerce extension for this would be the best bet.
I did a quick search, and here are two interesting options:

The first one is a trick to keep category pages hidden, but is not a particularly secure solution. The second option forces users to log in to view stuff. Both should be completely compatible with Symbiostock.
4) Here is a plugin I just quickly found, it may work for you:

Basically, what I’m saying is, if you need a certain functionality in the front end, don’t hesitate to search for WooCommerce extensions that may be able to provide it. This is the glaring benefit of using Symbiostock as it is piggybacking on an already well established ecommerce platform.
