Hey Jean-

If you’re still using the old original version of Symbiostock that Leo developed, before Robin took it over (hummingbird logo), then most of the time if I adhered to rules #1-6 in my previous post to Erik, then I could get it to process, but only if I limited it to perhaps 6 images at a time.  I then migrated to a new host for my…[Read more]

Hi Erik-

On the Legacy version of Symbiostock, there were a number of things that could trip up the ImageMagick image processor:

These are things that can trip up ImageMagick so that the images either won’t process, or that they process incorrectly.  Some of these affect it some of the time, some of them all of the time.

1.  If the dpi of the j…[Read more]

Hi EggHeadStock-

My memory_limit = 128, already set that way.  I always upload through FTP.  The number of files didn’t matter.  Any image caused the problem, and I double-checked the images for corruption.  My host couldn’t find the problem, either, but others with the legacy version directed me to the legacy version developer’s support for…[Read more]

nope

Hi Robin-

Y’all got a list of folks who are giving the new plugin a try, so we can get feedback on how it’s going before diving in, and help from others’ experiences when things don’t go perfectly?

Thanks

Thanks EggHeadStock, that helped.  I’d a vague notion that the problem was originally a conflict between the older version of the emailer and the newer version of the Symbiostock theme, but since this one didn’t stem from an update, I was stumped.  Anyway, just deactivating all the plugins solved the issue, if my tests don’t lie, and even when I r…[Read more]

Hi Robin-

You still accepting beta testers?  And the hosted site we get– I’m assuming that is temporary, just for beta testing, or do we get to keep it afterwards (and save on the hosting fees)?

I may be interested (still weighing if I’ve the time to help out).

Hi Robin-

My legacy installation runs on WordPress installed in a directory on my domain (the photo site is just one part of my total website).  I was thinking of just creating another directory, installing WordPress to it, and putting the plugin version of Symbiostock on that.  However, recent experiences on my website have opened my eyes to s…[Read more]

Hi Robin-

Couple of questions regarding migration:

1.  My legacy site seems to take up a lot of disk space, perhaps something to do with all of the preview images generated and whatnot.  How will the plugin compare?

2.  I see on your demo site the watermark is Symbiostock.  Do we get to have personalized watermarks?

OK, so if I understand:

Symbiostock plugin self-service at the .org forum, and Symbiostock plugin hosted solution at the .com forum, correct?

OK, now all of a sudden I’m having major problems on my legacy site (never had problems before).  With all the forum changes, I don’t know where to go for help.  Where’s that, now?

Thanks

Hi Robin-
OK, so the forums are back to .org now, rather than .com? Please clarify.
Thanks

Thanks for the update, Robin. When Leo started talking about a major change in Sym many months ago, I stopped updating my theme (I think at the point that I would have had to abandon my customizations), waiting for things to settle down. It looks like things are still very much in the air. I have not a little trepidation over the new plugin,…[Read more]
