What to buy a kitchen?
Edit: LOL that took me six attempts…

I ran into this software by reading this article which I found linked in the sys forum.

FotoQuote – pricing tool, anybody using it? Can we use something like this for RM on our sites?
Fotoquote is what PhotoShelter use as their RM calculator. However, AFAIK, Cradoc Software no longer support it and it is wildly overoptimistic in its pricing compared to the likes of Alamy. On PhotoShelter, I apply a 50%-ish discount to all of my RM pricing to correct for this, following the lead of what other stock shooters on PS do. On the other hand, I can construct as many pricing profiles as I like – one for unreleased editorial, another for general use RM, another that applies “mates’ rates” when appropriate.
As for other suggestions on this thread, yes please.
See the other thread in Technical Support – issue solved. It was a security plugin issue.
With the help of Christine (yet again!), the Appearance > Editor problem is fixed.
It turns out it was the WP Security plugin not allowing php file edits. It’s just a checkbox in the WP Security Settings.
It’s always a plugin isn’t it?
I uploaded a new watermark and bulk processed them all yesterday but the thumbnails are still missing in the Media Library. They’re visible under the “Stock Images” menu item.
I’ve checked and any images I’ve uploaded as logos, or specifically sized for a slideshow or for blog use show up as thumbnails. So it’s only images that have gone through the Symbio image uploader (and their Minipics) that don’t show up.
The email problem is because I updated PHP to 5.3. I need to edit my php.ini file. I managed to find an exchange Christine & I had on MSG when it happened last time (sorry, I mistakenly thought Cascoly and Leo fixed it behind the scenes). So thanks to Christine again…
But I’d be extremely grateful if anyone could lend a hand in getting thumbnails back in my Media Library and more importantly, how to get the CSS Editor installed.
Whilst Jo Ann’s helpful suggestion will work, I’d prefer it if my installation was as complete as everyone’s else’s.
It’s a curse of the current age. And I guess that’s why many are overjoyed at 25c sales.
I am going to have to rethink my use of the word, “content” now though…

have you checked the email under sym/settings ??
Yes Steve I have. I also have the “WP Mail from” plugin. After the initial problem, it’s been fine until I upgraded yesterday. Might it be a WP or PHP issue rather than a Symbio one?
And thanks for that suggestion Jo Ann. I’ll investigate that next week.
I shall bring my ukulele.
I’m a Maybe (but yes > no, at the moment)

UKHi Alila – impressive stuff.
Until recently I was a practicing physician and like you, have a PhD in a life science. Now I have more time, I’ll be building my medical/healthcare stock photo portfolio, making use of the hoard of medical equipment/instruments that I’ve bought over the years.
So if you’re happy to gamble on that potential, please feel free to add me to your network.

Did you follow the exact sequence Leo laid out in this post when updating to 2.9.x for the first time?

The other thing is that you need to have Dragonfly as your child theme to see the editor for it – could you have gone back to another child theme?
The Editor option wasn’t there before 2.9.x and possibly the fact that you’re not seeing it has to do with how you upgraded?. I have the customizer still turned on and see the Editor option, so I don’t think turning off the customizer will make any difference.
My initial attempt at installation failed because of a problem with one of the php files. So that was deleted via my cPanel and then things went as Leo (via Ron) advised.
For good measure, I have just repeated the process and went throught the plugin installations again but there’s still no “Editor” option.
The Dragonfly Child Theme is activated and even the “Edit CSS” option associated with it on the Themes page doesn’t work.
Thanks for your input though. And I’ll certainly look at your CSS edits once I can get at my own CSS editing interface.

When you switch your theme, it will always “stuff” it up. Widget locations and menus are memorized per-theme.
It deleted the text from my homepage too (including the text in my “Pages” section of the Dashboard).
I’m used to widgets and menus going AWOL and I understand why – as you said, it’s theme dependent. The text disappearing was a bit more alarming. Fixed from a backup now, though.
I can’t do anything at the moment because I’m updating watermarks on all images but having looked over the road on MSG, might the “Editor” option reappear if I turn the “Customizer” off in Bee>Settings?
For some reason, that screenshot isn’t showing up for me but if you right click, you can view it in a new tab.
Anyhow, you can see that I don’t have “Editor” as an option.
