    It doesn’t look like the problem with special characters was the cause here, but that’s another situation where I have had duplication of text. Ampersands was the most common one for me and I’ve stopped using them in new work, but have a lot of old files with titles like “Turks & Caicos”

    I noticed that in some cases the doubling must have been in the title and it carried over into your permalink – such as with this one:

    http://stock.ariene.eu/image/tulipa-crispa-hamiltontulipa-crispa-hamilton/

    You probably want to fix those to avoid SEO and search problems down the road – I assume it should be tulipa-crispa-hamilton

    Why would you want to set a time limit? I think many of the agencies started out with a time limit but some then moved to the more customer friendly notion of keeping a permanent archive of what you purchased.

    I’d rate that as a much lower priority than some other things on the wish list unless there’s some really compelling reason for it to be there. And I’d like to be able to enter something to have there be no time limit – and probably have that be the default – if you did decide to implement it.

    I think you’re asking about the /image/ (singular) page that has a title of Symbiostock Images Archive – site name?

    That’s coming from Yoast’s plugin – SEO => Titles & Metas. I’ve not looked at change the templates there for custom post types, but I’d keep a copy of the current string in case 🙂

    Edited to add that I just changed mine to say “digital bristles images and illustrations”, where I used the %%sitename%% token rather than typing in the site name.

    http://www.digitalbristles.com/image/

    Any suggestions on what you think would be SEO friendly?

    And for Leo, a question on how the token %%pt_plural%% gets to map to “Symbiostock Image”

    I had a look at teamclipart – that is the site you’re trying to modify the appearance for, correct? – and I don’t see any shadow boxes. Does that mean you got things fixed?

    If not, can you provide a link to a page that shows the problem?

    So as an example of how you add something (and the comments are optional but really helpful for when you go back and edit things later), my changes to various panel related classes look like this. I included another change above so you can see the syntax of things – I’m wondering if you pasted in your code in the “wrong” place.

    /* headers */
    .page-header {
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    margin: 20px 0 10px;
    border-bottom: 0;
    }
    /* panel items body, title, header, nav area etc. As a panel-title is put inside a panel-heading, don't pad both */
    .panel, .panel-heading, .panel-default, .panel-info, .nav, .navbar-default {
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background-image: none;
    }

    I have v 2.8 of Jetpack with WordPress 3.8.1 and I think the last update was last week or possibly the week before. I don’t recall any trouble updating it

    Leo, it looked like my test site showed up. It is ID: 000043. Does that really matter? Is that good or bad?

    Brings up the question on keeping the ID’s cleaned up. What happens when sites go away?

    I have a test site too, and so far it hasn’t shown up anywhere – and I’d prefer that’s how it stay.

    Is there some “recommendation” on how to do a test site so that you can test network features but not have the global search engine or any other “real” features or sites see it?

    I think the fact that I’ve never let it update the network xml files, even though networking is turned on is why the search engine doesn’t see the images I’ve added.

    If you can think of some way to set up a “Live/not live” switch it would be even easier, but even if there’s something simple like hiding a file or two by renaming it, that’d be easy enough to do

    I don’t use the Twitter component, but I just tested search in the batch editor and it’s finding things just fine for me on 1.4.8 with main theme 3.2.7

    In other words, something more complicated is going on than the batch editor not doing searches at all

    It’s on page one of this post

    viewtopic.php?p=4860#p4860

    Possibly the better thing to do, if you don’t mind, is delete the post on page one and just leave this newer one?

    I updated but I’m not sure if I have an ID. My WP Themes area says I have 3.2.7 but if I look at the Attributes section of my author page it says I’m still at 3.1.9 (what I upgraded from).

    Welcome Stacey. I love your doodle illustrations – so whimsical and fun. Looking forward to more getting uploaded as you get your site populated.

    We have a Rhapsody subscription (so my kids can listen to music legally) so I put a bunch of things into a playlist and then shuffle.

    Typically upbeat while I’m working and the house is empty – today it was Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boys, The Strokes, The Gaslight Anthem, Bruno Mars, Band of Horses and Blind Pilot

    I will report back – but I think it’ll take a month or so to gather data – on the images I’m tracking of mine. I’ve added a few more today with enough green goodness for Yoast and I’ve also left a few similars unmodified but have tracked their position so I can see if it goes up or down.

    It occurred to me that if, for whatever reason, my site became “better” in Google’s eyes in the time I’m measuring these files’ progress, perhaps any file from that site would see a boost. So it seemed important to track a few files that were not “improved” on purpose to see what happened to them.

    Thanks for posting that – it’s a clear and to-the-point tutorial

    I’m not Steve, but I think he’s talking about the browser menu item that lets you look at the source code for a page. It’s called View Source in some and in Chrome, on the View menu it’s Developer=>View Source.

    But you don’t have to go that far to get the URL for a thumbnail. You can do the search as he suggested and then right click on the thumbnail and select Copy Image URL (Chrome) or Copy Image Location (Firefox)

    So this is fine, but can you explain what you’ll do with the knowledge that I (and other sites) still exist? Right now I look at the Global search for a list of sites and Cascoly’s list to see what versions all the sites are on.

    Will there be something else we can do with the site IDs that those two sites can’t?
