Not a list of contributors – link to George’s contributor profile on Symzio for example:
http://www.symzio.com/contributor-16313.html
Both good suggestions. We’ll look into adding these features guys.
It’s quite difficult actually to alter this aspect of the engine because it’s run by WooCommerce in a really bad way, so altering it is already difficult enough.
But we’ll look into seeing if we can make categorical relevancy prominent.
Link exchanges are extremely effective for SEO, so this is a good idea.
I would like to recommend that you include links to both the independent sites and the Symzio contributor profile so customers have a choice in that regard – reason being, if they go to Symzio, there’s also the possibility that they will purchase someone else’s stuff as well. And as George pointed out, you should put your referral ID in the Symzio link.
As for Steve’s suggestion with anchor text, that’s far less relevant now. Google tends to weigh the link more with the text around it than the anchor text specifically, so it’s best to just link naturally.
Hey Walt,
The related products results for your Symbiostock site will get more relevant after a day because it takes about a day to index your products. Similarly, after you add a new product, it will take a day for it to be added to your related products index. It uses all information, including the titles, descriptions, and keywords to determine the most relevant products.
As for Symzio, it is based on page text, so the more keywords, description, and title data you have, the more relevant that will become. However we are always improving the Symzio algorithm, so we’ll take what you’ve said into account.
What you have done should work fine as far as I can tell. Symbiostock uses the wp_set_object_terms function which can accept both slugs and IDs. So if you are adding the WooCommerce category IDs to those meta fields (Category or SuppCategory) the system should be trying to add them.
Are you certain metadata reading is working in general? This sort of advanced stuff would require Exiftool to be running, which means in your settings > System tab exec functions must be enabled.
Hey Terry,
Thanks for that. We were looking to add something along these lines as an option in the settings in the next release. Good stuff!
Hi there – are you using Symbiostock Lite or Pro?
A new post needs to be made for every image, but this is generally automated by just uploading the image.
As for categories not showing up, that’s theme dependent. Symbiostock has nothing to do with that – it’s all WooCommerce.
I have no explanation for what you are experiencing. Unless, oddly, the email address the payment is being sent to is wrong. Maybe check your WooCommerce settings to ensure the payment is being sent to the right email address.
Payments may not show up immediately in your PayPal account under ‘recent activity’ but the funds should be reflected in your balance immediately. Have you checked your email? You should have received a ‘payment received’ email from PayPal.
You sure you don’t have it in sandbox mode?
In order for the download to go through, Symbiostock has to receive a ping from PayPal – PayPal would never send that out without receiving payment, and the only exception would be if you were still in sandbox mode.
Hi Evert – this is theme related. Please post a link to the page you’re talking about and maybe someone can pipe in.
You need both Lite and Pro running. If anyone else is experiencing this issue let us know. I am not. If you are experiencing it, it may relate to server restrictions, although I don’t see how upgrading to Pro would make any difference.
og:image link seems to be correct on that page for me:

However this is almost entirely theme related. Symbiostock plays no part in metadata creation.
Great, welcome aboard, and let me know if you need anything else.
