Hi Philip,
I will send you an email to get login details from you so I can look into your issue more closely.
(note: I’m based in Australia and it’s late at night here now so I will look at this tomorrow)
Hi,
issues such as the watermark on import stopping half way through and sometimes not importing images correctly…
Seems very flakey
Failures such as these are quite often caused by the server.
What type of hosting is your site on – shared, VPS, other?
What is the value of your server’s PHP memory_limit?
Can you please check your server’s PHP error log file? Look for any logs which are related to the photo seller and also logs which pertain to the server’s memory.
What is probably happening in your case is that sometime during the bulk import/watermarking process your server is running out of memory and hence the watermarking is failing at that point.
Hi DesMas,
Thanks for your suggestions and ideas – much appreciated.
As you will appreciate, adding changes and new functionality takes time and requires care so that existing functionality does not break or new bugs are introduced. Hence implementing this functionality in the short term may not be possible due to my tough schedule but I will put your suggestions on my longer-term “todo” list.
Hi OpenFormula,
When I viewed your page earlier, you had two galleries listed on the “album2” page.
One of the galleries called “2017-05-27 Derby Hunter Trials” correctly displayed the thumbnail but the gallery called “55555” had a placeholder.
Also your main root albums page has one album which displays a correct thumbnail and two other albums which have placeholders.
Have you correctly set a thumbnail image for the albums called “album2” and “album3”? (ie, check the “Album Thumbnail URL” value in the album settings)
Although the photo seller was specifically created for selling photos, I suppose you could create a simple gallery which serves as the sale point for your service.
Within that gallery you could make up a price list which has one physical variation which serves as a ticket for your course. So on that gallery page you can write a special message which explains you are selling a course and all the customer needs to do is to purchase a “ticket”.

If most of the other photos in the zip file were successfully imported, you can simply go to the gallery settings page and manually upload the handful of photos which failed.
ps: I also recommend that you also grab the latest version of the plugin:

Ah yes – I remember I fixed this a while back.
You must have a rather old version of the plugin.
I will email you to give you an updated zip file.
$pp (check for empty does not work)
Yes it does work. Using empty covers NULL and many other things:
As you have already observed for some reason your logs show an error as follows:
“Failed to insert the following into the order table”
In other words your server failed to do the DB operation which saves the order.
Can you double check that the following tables exist in your DB:
wps_orders
wps_order_items
Also can you check your general server error logs and let me know if you see anything related to the photo seller failures.
In addition, please check that you have the following setup correctly:
Log into your paypal account and check the following settings:
1) “Auto Return” (this should be enabled)
2) “Payment Data Transfer” (this should be enabled)
3) “Instant Payment Notification (IPN)” (this should be enabled).
4) UTF-8 formatting enabled as per https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/some-characters-and-text-not-recognizable-in-the-notification-email
Photo seller side:
1) In Payment Gateway Settings make sure you have entered your paypal email and also the correct PDT identity token.
Please do the following:
– enable photo seller logging
– create a test gallery with price $0.01 and provide the link so I can make a purchase.
Ok so you were referring to the latest photos display. For this I will need to go into the code and implement a change so that the settings for button name also get applied there.
Regarding the cart page – can you please provide examples of exactly where you would like to change the wording or perhaps provide screenshots of your cart page and circle the areas?
Hi,
Can you please be more specific regarding the search results? If I remember correctly I think that the search results thumbs don’t have a button. Which part of the search results are you referring to?
Regarding the cart page – you mentioned that you are not selling any photos. If that’s the case, what do you use the cart page for?
Hi,
At the moment coupons can be applied to specific galleries or site-wide (all galleries).
The coupon functionality you are describing is currently not possible.
I looked at the code, and applying coupons to an album would require a moderate amount of new implementation and also a database change.
I will put this on the TODO list.
If it’s really urgent for your specific situation we can discuss doing a paid custom development job for you – just let me know.
