Hi Kenny,
Migration should be fine – I’ll take a look at it.
As for licenses, you generally don’t want to edit them on an individual product basis. Do it via Symbiostock > Licenses and then apply them to your products. This way you have standard pricing and licenses throughout the site and don’t need to edit the products themselves. This is a core feature of Symbiostock.
Hey ilyas – you can quick edit or full edit any product and the tag fields should show up in both places. On the full edit page it should be on the right side.
Hey Kenny,
To add an alternate JPEG to your EPS product, once the EPS product is created, you go to edit the product and scroll down. It will say ‘upload alternate JPEG’ – just use that to upload it, or use FTP with the corresponding file name provided. This will then be used as I explained and the negative thing won’t matter.
Hey Kenny –
I will try to help.
1)
Firstly, here is some documentation on WooCommerce and thumbnails:
https://docs.woothemes.com/document/using-the-appropriate-product-image-dimensions/Regarding having constant sizes, I am guessing the hard crop option is what you are asking about. This will force the images to fit the dimensions specified. Also remember that much of how these things are displayed is determined by your theme. This pretty much has nothing to do with Symbiostock.
2)
The best thing to do is upload the EPS files then upload their accompanying alternate JPEGs. Symbiostock will then use the JPEGs for pretty much everything, including raster purchases, and deliver the original EPS for vector purchases. This is what most vector users do so they retain full control of how the vectors render on their sites.3)
Go to Symbiostock > Licenses, and add what you want and delete the rest. Also, it will not output PNGs but rather only JPEGs. You can ask about the license options here if you want or just spend some time exploring.I do acknowledge that the plugin has grown in features quicker than we have been able to document everything, but much of the look and feel of your site has nothing to do with Symbiostock. Symbiostock is mostly a backend engine and leaves the front end to WooCommerce and your theme.
Symbiostock PLUS was a hosting system we had enabled for users, but have since discontinued the service because it was taking too much time away from the development of the plugin. It would not have altered your usability or changed the issues you are experiencing, except maybe you would be using Symbiostock Express theme which may have made it easier for you.
You can probably look for a plugin that can do this as this is all built into WordPress’s infrastructure and has little to do with Symbiostock.
As mentioned, if we discover that something NEEDS to be updated, we will try to expedite that. However, this has not been an issue since the release of Symbiostock.
Hi Kenny,
There is no way to have thumbnails without watermarks at the current time
As for the sizes of the previews and what not, that is determined by WooCommerce in their settings. Once you change that, it will take some time for the Symbiostock processor to go through all your media and re-do them, but it will do this automatically.
Hey Kenny – FTP uploading is to a directory within your folders. The host and password and username should be provided by your hosting provider. It should be via your new domain name.
Hi Sven,
That is currently not a supported function of Symbiostock. It basically operates as a single vendor system for media sales.
Symbiostock 2.2 now released – no major changes or anything, just mainly compatibility with WP 4.5 and WC 2.5.5.
Will be releasing Symbiostock Express soon as well. Unfortunately, looks like the update system we were relying on is highly unreliable so users may have to manually download the next version and upload it, and then be able to update it automatically through WP. Strangely, there is no real good solution for WP updates outside of WordPress.org’s servers.

Yoast is definitely free but they plaster their plugin with ads for the paid version. Not sure what the paid version provides, but you don’t need to pay for sure.
Jetpack is also free, and no, you don’t need to just use it on WordPress.com but you need a WordPress.com account to activate it. It’s a little convoluted actually, and I don’t like it, but it offers a bunch of unique functions.
Don’t worry about that issue. It’s not an error message – it’s a warning that generally has no practical value.
Kevin – send me your login info and I’ll take a look.
In order to do this when you create a new license or edit an old one, you click the checkbox that says ‘physical product’, or something along those lines.
You do not have to create licenses on an individual product basis. You create them via the licenses tab – and you can create non-digital licenses with whatever names you want. In this case, the order will be handled by WooCommerce as normal and you can fulfill it accordingly.
Let me get this straight if I have photos I am selling that are sold in multiple print sizes (8×12, 12×18, 18×24, etc) and each size is a different price I have to add the custom product attribute and set the price of each one of those variations to every single Image that I am trying to sell?
This is true except you don’t do it on an individual product basis. You do it globally. The pricing will be global then. If you want unique pricing for different products, you’ll have to manually set those after the licenses are applied.
Basically, you can use Symbiostock for only print and non digital, and in this case all of the functionality exists exactly the same except when a customer makes a purchase, they don’t get a download link or anything.
