    I just did as you said and created a new category All Images, went to the standard editor, put screen options on 300 and edited 6 pages, added all images to All Categories, went to batch editor and was able to select all images at once. Also in chronological order.

    I would LOVE to be able to batch edit all my images at once, Ron, so I tried following your steps.

    OK in creating a new All Images category. But from there you lost me. Sorry to be dense! 🙁

    Can you explain about “the standard editor” where you “put screen options on 300…” ? Where is the standard editor? How do you “put screen options” on images there?

    Thanks in advance.

    standard editor is the one from ‘all images’ aka ‘bulk actions/edit’

    screen options is a pull down from the upper right of the window (eg, I turn off the prices to let give more room to the other fields)

    Nope, doesnt work when using a space to search, It defaults to 96, unless I disable the Genetics Lab and then I get more images. But still clicking page two doesnt work.

    it may be the space is confusing it — does it work as expected if you use a common keyword?

    I’ve not run into this since I’m usually editing 300-500 at a time using keywords like ‘india’ or ‘food’

    looks like it needs a ‘search all’ function added

    mostly it looks like a problem with having menus installed in different parts of the same screen (eg in above header, header, and body), resulting inj all the duplication

    I do bulk uploads and processing

    I don’t worry too much about the yoast colors until later – I do a few a day, mostly as I find images from webmaster tools search reports. it’s not clear to me that the yoast recommendations always help with images — eg, yoast values lots of words, short sentences, etc

    I get a lot of spam registers, but they’re not a big deal since I have comments turned off, so they can’t do anything – I try to key plugins to a minimum

    thanks — looks borderline — last symbiocard update was December — the minipics come up ok on the search, but clicking on the minipic just gets WSOD, so i’ll remove it from search results for now

    my definition of a dead site is broken links, usually no minipic showing up on a search

    it’s easy to replace a site if it recovers, and meanwhile users get better response

    same for me — I don’t get on every day, but retweet multiples when I do — may turn out better in the long run if we’re retweeting on different days

    the theme uses that extra bit internally, but you don’t need it if you’re just linking to the image page

    another option for fence sitters is to try the co-op — you just upload your images and don’t need to worry about the hosting, tech support, etc
    http://symbiostock-network.com/

    there’s a WP tool to export a site then import it to an other host, so in theory you could move your co-op site to your own hosting later. i’ll be testing this soon

    Copy from microstock.group (http://www.microstockgroup.com/symbiostock-suggestions/feature-request-list/75/)

    Suggestions are related to customer’s cart:
    1. I would like to have an icon “add to cart” for any picture in a search result, as there is a button “zoom” when I do mouse hover.
    2. Possibility to select a different size when a picture is in the cart. (as in fotolia)
    3. When I zoom a picture, I would like to have, again, a button “add to cart”, as there is a button “go to picture page”.

    Is it possible?

    items 2 & 3 are already in place

    item 1 would be confusing — when I user clicksw on the image they get the fulkl image display which allows them to add to the cart

    Stupid question: where can I find a pro-plugin?

    Another very important issue that was not published among my approved post (wrote before this topic was created). This issue is related to “cart” functionality. It is very desirable to make “add to cart” for every image in search result, for every image preview. And more over, it is highly desirable to permit a buyer to change a size of a selected image at the page of check out. For example, the latter is implemented in fotolia.

    I am sure that this will improve sales a lot.

    first, I moved this thread to ‘suggestions’ where more people might see it… it may also attract d3velopers who might create a plugin to do some of these features

    when you dbl-click on a search result it takes you to the image page and you automatically choose the size & add it to the cart in one step

    Here is a secret for people like me who don’t know anything. Call Bluehost and own your ignorance. They will do a lot of this for you. Ask lots of dumb questions and make the techs feel really smart. That is how I got through my first install. I called Bluehost 6 times, Godaddy 3 times and Paypal twice. Seems silly but they don’t know me, they were very nice and super helpful, and I got my site up without spending hours of frustration. By the way, I learned a lot and now I can do this all myself. It really isn’t hard but it is until you understand how things work.

    second that!

    I’ve really been amazed at the quality of tech support these companies have — I’ve mostly used 1and1, but also bluehost & justhost. also the 24 availability helps fix those 2 am problems

    1. A special discount for a newly registered user (who hasn’t bought anything yet). This discount should be available for a certain period of time and/or for a certain group of pictures.
    2. A discount coupon for a certain period of time and/or for a certain group of pictures.
    3. When the buyer is ready to press button pay, it would be nice to add an option of upsell, i.e. to offer pictures similar to the chosen ones.
    4. For this purpose, any picture icon should comprise not only a zoom button, but also an “add to cart” button (I wrote this suggestion somewhere, do not see yet).
    5. Affiliation program, if I would like to launch a “world of mouth” among my registered users. With customization of affiliation %.
    6. Subscription model. Yes, buyers like it a lot. Namely, it will be very nice for a buyer to have a possibility to buy some credits, or subscription plan, or simply some money (like @ peopleimages.com)
    7. W.r.t. issue 5, affiliation among contacts in my symbiostock network. In other words, if there is a link “search network” (or similar, as I have seen), then this link should bring me some commission in case my customer decides to buy from my network. What do you think?
    8. Even more, to show similar pictures from the network in the same manner as my similar pictures are shown + to make possible for a buyer to add pictures from symbiostock network directly to a cart at my site (with a corresponding calculation of affiliation commissions).
    9. Customize prices for a certain group of pictures, e.g., premium collection.

    .

    the pro version lets you create collections.

    for most of the other suggestions, you could do this yourself by creating pages describing your policies, but there’s no direct way to do subscriptions, etc

    rather than affiliates & the assoc’d bookkeeping, sym relies on its networking to show similar – so you may not directly benefit when you send someone to another sym site, but all those sites are also advertising and displaying your images
