Hi Tim,

Thanks again for this update! Especially searching for keywords in image descriptions is a nice addition in my case. 

There is only now something wrong with my stock section. In some cases, a search also shows thumbnail photos in the search results from outside the stock section, even from a password-protected customer gallery. When I click on such a miniature of such a customer photo, fortunately it says 'unable to find photo'. But of course they would rather not appear in the stock search results.

The idea of limiting screenshots is excellent.

The bleur on the previews needs to be set to zero. Even at a minimum of 1, you can't recognize the people underneath. Imagine sports, with lots of different people. The thumbnails are already small, you can't tell who's underneath, or they look like bad, blurry photos.

I can not replicate this behavior. Please post or email me a link and the search term to use to replicate this.

Hello Tim,

Thank you for this update.

I am encountering an issue when activating the search function, i.e. when adding the search icon to allow users to search for pages in this section. When I search for information in the description, it does not display.

Do I need to activate something else?

Is there a way to convert galleries into Stock/Art Photos from another section without having to re-enter everything?

Kind regards

Searching in the description  / caption in the demo works. 

Go here

You can search: 

  • testing
  • baby1
  • testing baby1

And it will pull up both photos with that in the description.

You can email admin login info (or create me an admin account) and let me know which gallery and which photos are not getting results. 

There is not a way to convert galleries to a stock section.
