To edit your media products log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Symbiostock > Media. This is where all your media files are located.
How to Edit Media
Find the image you wish to edit and place your cursor over its name. A few action links will appear under the name of the file. Click ‘Edit’. Your screen will change to an ‘Edit Media’ page. Here you have access to editing a variety of file specific attributes. These include:
- The name of the media file
- The slug for the media file
- Product categories
- Product tags
- Indicating whether there is a Model Release / Property Release
- Indicating if the media is Exclusive
- Marking the media as Editorial
- Re-uploading the media file to replace the current file
- Adding / removing licenses
- Altering prices
Once you are finished editing, click ‘Update’ to save the changes.
Using Quick Edits
Find the image you wish to edit and place your cursor over its name. A few action links will appear under the name of the file. Click ‘Quick Edit’. The media listing will expand to give you the access to editing basic details including:
- The name of the media file
- The slug for the media file
- Product description
- Product categories
- Product tags
Once you are finished editing, click ‘Update’ to save the changes.
Updating The Original File
You may upload a new copy of any media using the instructions found under the file uploader on your product edit page. It is recommended you use FTP for updating most of your media files. FTP is the faster, more efficient method of uploading your media files. Also, at times due to basic WordPress timeouts, if you try to upload a large file (>8MB) it is possible that the web uploader will fail to properly save your new image.
Vectors: Adding an Alternate JPEG
If you have an EPS, or any non-JPEG media file, and are not happy with the way Symbiostock renders thumbnails or purchased media files when it is converted to a JPEG, you have the option of uploading an alternate JPEG. This file will then be used for all thumbnails and raster downloads. As this will be used for downloads, you must upload a large file (at least 4000×4000).
Vectors: Alternate JPEG Metadata
If, in your Symbiostock Settings, you have enabled Symbiostock to use the alternate JPEG’s metadata for populating your vector’s title, description and keywords, if and when an alternate file is uploaded, if it has any of those fields filled, it will overwrite your vector’s information as listed in your Symbiostock store.
