Need help bigtime

Site URL: https://sisprops.com

Hey guys... So I need to batch edit a ton of pictures on the site.... errr.... very picture on the site. I know the edits I want to do for the products. My issue is how the heck do I upload these new pics in bulk? I cant possible manually add one new picture per product. I have over 1300 products.

It's possible to bulk update product images, but only if they are hosted somewhere (i.e. each image has a URL). You can't bulk upload images that are stored locally on your computer/device. They must be manually updated.

Yes I had these all saved to my dropbox when i initially loaded them in. So should i make all of the changes on the hosted images on the dropbox then reimport the products?

also, @paul2009I bought your wishlist plugin. Its awesome. 
 

the other thing im having a tough time with is the search functionality not bringIng up alot of our pics.  Ive read that alt text is how  I can fix this. I ourchased a sofrware called tinyimg but its only letting me change one at a time

Yes, that should work.

I recommend changing a few and doing a test csv upload to ensure it's working as expected! 😉

I wish I had a great answer for this but I don't. Search doesn't work properly and doesn't always show images, even when their filenames and alt text match the term searched. Your Outdoor Patio Chairs are a perfect example:

@paul2009The reason is becuase the alt text must also contain the search term in order for the image to come up.so I just got another program to try to bulk rename alt text to the product title but havent had luck just yet.

Except this image did have an alt tag 🙂

Welll dang nabbit.  What do I do @paul2009??? Client needs people to be able to search and filter….

I encourage anyone who is experiencing issues with search to report each example to Squarespace Customer Support so they can be logged and fixed.

Regarding product search and filter, the Universal Filter paid plugin is as close to perfect as I have found for Squarespace. (This is an affiliate link for a product I use and love.)
