The processor is not supposed to be run manually repeatedly – add it to your control panel’s cron job area. If you are using cPanel this is quite easy. Let the processor do its thing in the background.
So are the licenses now applying?
With all the competition in the universe, I would say keep all the content you have on your Symbiostock site. This way Google will like your Symbiostock domain for both media and your articles, and since they are all related to photography, it will be a good match. I think putting the blog on your old site is only useful if the old site has a strong ranking in Google. Based on what you’ve said, that does not seem to be the case, so I would not do that.
Another benefit is as you design your Symbiostock, be it upgrading the header or footer, or whatever, it will affect both the blog and store at once, providing a more uniform branding experience for visitors.
Hi Christine – make sure you have Symbiostock Pro installed – you get it from the shop page at the top here.
Once that’s installed, along with all other dependencies, you should have default licenses under Symbiostock > Licenses. Please confirm whether you do or not. If not, then you will have to create a new license there, set a price, and ensure it applies to raster images. That is all on the license edit page.
Then upload a new image and it should auto apply. If you want it to apply to the images you already have in place, you have to check ‘Update prices’ and ‘Update licenses’ on the license edit page and the processor will then sync the license to the appropriate media.
The initial setup may be a little complex but once it’s running it’s very easy.
Yes – it is approximately 30 seconds to a minute. This is done to prevent the processing of images that are currently in the process of being uploaded.
what version of WooCommerce are you running?
Can you post a link to your website?
Hey Walt,
Try using one of the other carousel options with the gallery for now. We’ll work on making it more compatible with some of the other more complex ones. Thanks for bringing this up.
The reason there are some seemingly non-integrated components of Express is that some portions are built on other GPL frameworks. Accordingly, we have added our own portions and customized a lot of other ones, but because it is such a large and customizable theme there are always improvements to be made. This is a good one as it now directly integrates the gallery widget to Symbiostock products.
Hi Walt,
I’ve gone in and tweaked it – please upgrade your Express theme and see if it works for you now. It should link directly to the product pages.
I’m no expert with Express (that’s Dawn’s area) but I think the gallery widget uses media files from within WordPress’s media list and does not integrate with WooCommerce.
Maybe we’ll see if we can merge the two in the future.
Just logged in and ran the processor a couple of times and media is being processed. If you can explain how I can reproduce your issue, let me know.
Can you send me your WP login information and I’ll have a look.
Hey Steve,
1) What version of Symbiostock Pro are you using?
2) Can you confirm via the Symbiostock > Settings > Media > Media Location field that it matches your structure?
3) When did it last work, and has anything changed since then?
4) Have you tried uploading a test image via the web uploader? If not, do so and report back.
5) Is it finding media when it is processed via the cron?
Symbiostock comes with built in licenses, but with stock media the licenses are generally dictated by the seller. There is no actual ‘standard’ per-say, but for the most part the licensing on Symzio is modeled after the most common licensing in the industry.
You basically have a choice between three license models:
1) One time use license
2) Royalty-free up to a certain number of prints
3) Royalty-free unlimitedThese are the most common licenses available in the stock market so you can sell your media in accordance with this. You can also specify specifics as to whether you want to allow use for certain subjects (or not), etc.
I agree with George. The build in search system has nothing to do with Symbiostock as it is based on WordPress. The only exception is we add keywords to the search system.
You can try disabling that in your settings to see if you prefer it without that addition, but I’m guessing it will do more harm than good.
In my opinion this is an acceptable inefficiency for the time being given that WordPress is not quite Google yet. 🙂
Edited the first post so it links to Andre’s list.
