I had quite a bit of trouble getting my plug in to work after I bought it to use on my custom WordPress theme (my portfolio site) so I am hesitant to try the new version. What are the changes for the new version and must I upgrade? I am currently job hunting and don’t want to do anything to mess up my site right now. Thank you.
Hi! You may want to update if you have a lot of items and you have noticeable timeout problem when they are loaded on mobile devices. Also this new version introduces pagination feature. Again, this can be useful if you have a lot of items. Besides this, v2 received modified file structure and all 3rd party plugins were updated to the latest versions.
Hello,
I really love this gallery and had it previously on my static website. I have since upgraded to Wordpress and just bought the WP version, but I am having some problems.
I have installed the plugin and added one gallery so far following your instructions, but when you click the thumbnail but the load graphic just appears and nothing opens. I have 4 images in the gallery but don’t know what I have done wrong. – linked here. http://justine-louise.co.uk/wordpress/index.php/beauty/
I have also added text, but I only wish it to be displayed when the project is open, not underneath the thumbnail. How can I change this? thanks.
Hi! Yes, I know about this problem and I have uploaded update already. But currently it’s in review queue and you will be notified by Codecanyon as soon as it will be approved by Envato.
Hello. I have downloaded the update uninstalled and reinstalled, and my galleries still won’t load? http://justine-louise.co.uk/wordpress/index.php/fashion/
This must be something to do with your WP install. I checked one of Colio items http://justine-louise.co.uk/wordpress/index.php/colio/preby-fumudoh/?portfolio_id=fashion, but it returns 404 error code.
If you want me to look further please send me admin access to your WP blog using mail form on my profile page. Thanks!
Thanks so much. I have messaged you with login details.
Thanks! I fixed your problem.
Hi there, the expand feature isn’t working on my site at all. Could you take a look for me? The address is http://www.thedeaddollsclub.com/Peckham/whats-on
Thanks for contacting me! I already found what is wrong and I’m going to release update to Colio Wordpress plugin this evening.
Hi, I have updated the plugin but the display action still isn’t working. Need to get this sorted ASAP if poss. Thanks
There is 404 error when opening Colio item – http://www.thedeaddollsclub.com/Peckham/colio/test/?portfolio_id=whats_on_listings
Please go to Settings -> Permalinks in Admin and click Save. It should help!
Hi there
Having an issue, guessing jquery related. The portfolio is not loading.
Can you point me to a fix?
http://www.selectprofiles.com/seems to be a 404 error and I am also getting parsing errors
HELP?
when I changed it to just
You are right, the problem was in line 131 where I set “data-thumb” attribute to LI item. To fix it you can remove data-thumb="<?php ?>" altogether.
So there is no automated way to get the thumbnail there, right?
I have just uploaded update and you can re-download package as soon as it will be approved by Envato. Thanks!
Hi! I love you plugin and your wonderful support!
Thank you so much for the revision to v2.1. I was able to install this version and I found the answer to my missing “featured image” issue. Thanks!
With the newest version of the plugin it appears that for mobile, (using the white theme) that in the viewport area, the text appears before the image.
In the earlier version, for mobile, the text appeared AFTER the image. This is a superior user experience and I was wondering if I can change the new version so the text appears after the image. I’d like to keep the navigation where it is, so the stacking order for mobile is navigation, image, text. Since the earlier version did this I assume I can do this. How do I change this?
Thanks!
Thanks for question.
In this new version I made so that customers can swap (<=>) main/side columns in viewport from portfolio settings in admin.
The problem is that main block (with title and text) goes first in markup so slider appears underneath it when you go to mobile view.
OK. I will modify the code, so that order of main <=> side block was preserved in mobile view. Will update plugin in next few days! You can drop me email using mail form on my profile page and I will send you zip as soon as I will make the changes.
Fantastic, thanks!
Also, I’m not able to get the “Order Items” in the settings to work. I want to be able to sort my items in a portfolio by the date I created the item and I’ve tried all the “Order Items” options and nothing seems to change the order. Do you know how I can fix this?
Thanks for all your help!!
Hi! That’s strange. Just checked on my install and it works just fine. Try to sort by title for example and see if it works.
Hi! They do sort if I change the item titles but all of my items have the same title so I need to sort by something else, like date. I can’t get this to work for some reason. (And just to confirm sorting by date should sort by “published date” right?)
Could I hard code it so it sorts by date by default? And if so, where would I do this?
Thanks again for your help!
DId you try to set “Order Items” setting to “Modified” rather than “Date”. In WP codex there is following information
'date' - Order by date. 'modified' - Order by last modified date.
last modified date looks like to be a post publish date, whereas – date is post creation date,
Hi! Thank you so much for making the change so the mobile view was preserved. It works great now!
I’m still having the sorting issue. I tried to sort by “Modified,” and it did not change the order. The only option that creates a sort for me is by “Title,” but all of my items have the same name so that won’t work. Is there any other option? Can I hard code it to sort, or do anything else to force the items to sort?
Also, I’m trying to add a lightbox feature to the main image in the portfolio but I’m having difficulty doing so. I tried adding the rel=”lightbox” to the code in the colio-item.php but haven’t been able to get it to work. It opens the image in the same window, it doesn’t create the lightbox feature. (I also tried it with Responsive Lightbox WP plugin, but it didn’t work there either.)
Is it possible to add a lightbox for the main image in the viewport so the user can click the image and see it larger? (And preferably click on the lightbox image to advance to the next image?)
Thank you so much for all your help!
1. Maybe there is some custom PHP code that modifies query that my plugin performs to get items and overrides orderby param. I can check this if you give me Admin access to your wp blog (contact me using mail form on profile page)
2. No, adding rel=”lightbox” won’t work. Try to add class="fancybox" to the link element that wraps image.
Hi,
Thank you so much for your response. The Fancybox code worked, thanks!!
Regarding the sort, I realized that we’re sorting our posts pages for one of our other sections of our website by alpha using this:
function foo_modify_query_order( $query ) {
$query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
$query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'foo_modify_query_order' );
Do you think we can either alter ours so it sorts only alpha for posts versus what you’re using to generate the sort for Colio? (We only need that function for one specific template.) Can we have a separate sort function for the Colio items? Do you know if it’s possible to do that?
Thank you so much!
Hi,
I found a solution to this. Thanks so much for all your help and support!
Ok. Great!
Hi, I have the same problem I highlighted no more then one month ago but this time I have updated to the version 2.1 and newly I have no filtering and no zooming.
What have I to do to fix this new-old problem?
Thank you
Hi! Did you contact me earlier about your problems?
Hi, here I am tell what you need
Hi, do you have news?
Hi, I’ ve gone back to 1.4 version and it works regularly…..
it was also the cause of wpgmaps plugin not working properly….
Hi! I should take a look, but I see you have reinstalled plugin.
It’ s been the only solution I found after one day waiting!!! Now it’ s clear that it was the updated version of the plugin…..
Sorry, but I usually reply within 1-2 days.
in fact they are more or less two days and I had a lot of pages blocked by the error. Is it possible now to update the old version or there are still problems?
I have just uploaded new version 2.2 with few fixes and deep linking support. When it will be approved by the support staff, you will get notification and can re-download plugin package.
Honestly I’m not sure about the zooming issue and filtering as I didn’t have chance to check it. This may be related to your theme that can override some of my plugin CSS styles. So I need to take a look!
You can try to update plugin and then write me using mail form on my profile page and I will check your problem as soon as possible.
Hi, I tried also this 2.2 version but I continue to have the same problems. If it can be useful I use Customizr theme 3.3.28 and Wordpress 4.2.3…. I am Always available to give you the possibility to analyze the problem so let me know when and for how many hours you need, I install back the colio 2.2….
Yes, you can update plugin and let me know. Regarding zoom that you say does not work for items. Please check that “Item Zoom” checkbox is checked in plugin settings.
Hi, I updated it and also with “item zoom” checked it doesn’ t work also filtering don’ t run…..
Just to clear the zoom works on the thumbnails but not to show the image….
Ok. I understand what zoom do you mean. This is called lightbox, and is achieved using fancybox plugin. Basically it works only for images that you add via “Extra Photos” as photo feed. To make lightbox work for regular images that you insert into post content, you need to make sure that every single image has this markup
<a href="http://dimain.com/.../big.jpg" class="fancybox"> <img src="http://domain.com/../small.jpg" alt="" /> </a>
Regarding filtering. There is conflict with this JS file from your “customizr” theme —http://www.ferentino.org/ferwp/wp-content/themes/customizr/inc/assets/js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.min.js?ver=3.3.28
whereas my plugin uses newer fancyBox v2.1.5.
OK but what have I to do to fix this problem?
Try to rename /wp-content/themes/customizr/inc/assets/js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.min.js and then check if filters work.
Hey,
I just downloaded the latest version from codecanyon and made a portfolio however when I press the ‘View Project’(default name) button it is stuck on loading.
In the console it’s giving me a 404 not found error.
You can take a look at the page + error here: http://craneshipping.power.nl/stocklist/
Hi! Try to re-save permalinks. Go to Settings ? Permalinks, scroll to the “Save Changes” button and click it. If this won’t help please let me know!
Hey,
Unfortunatly that did not solve the problem.
I have also tried deactivating all other plugins but that didn’t help either, do you have any other suggestions?
Hi! Could you give me WP admin credentials to your site? Please send them using mail form on my profile page on Codecanyon.
Done, thank you for assisting
Thanks! I replied you via email. I fixed the problem on your website and going to release update this evening that address this issues.
Thank you very much!
I just want to let you know that I uploaded update v2.2 and currently it’s being reviewed by envato. This update also contains deep linking support for portfolio items.
Hi! 1. Why the plugin is not able to update automatically? I removed the old and installed the new one. In this case all settings are gone!!! 2. Back to the old version, and now in Chrome, the portfolio will not be displayed. http://head-wind.ru/portfolio/ What did I pay money???!!!
Hi! Plugins that you downloaded from https://wordpress.org/plugins/ update automatically, but not from Codecanyon. When new version is released you should go and update it manually.
When you update plugin via admin (remove and then install) it will warn you about deleting files & data
Delete Plugin You are about to remove the following plugin: Colio by flGravity (will also delete its data) Are you sure you wish to delete these files and data?
In this case plugin files from wp-content/plugins/colio and all settings will be removed. Colio Items however will stay intact.
So if you want to update plugin, preserving settings you should perform update via FTP -
1) deactivate plugin in Admin 2) unzip colio.zip file that you will find in package downloaded here, and upload colio/ directory to wp-content/plugins/, replacing old directory. 3) then go back to Admin and activate plugin
With the new version they will not expand! http://head-wind.ru/portfolio/ Where can I get the old version????
For some reason you get 500 Internal Error when plugin tries to load this ULR by AJAX – http://head-wind.ru/colio/internet-magazin-strahovoj-kompanii/?portfolio_id=portfolio
Could you try to click “view item” for any of Colio -> Items posts, and tell me what you see.
==
if you need old version I can send it via email. Please write something using mail form on my profile page and I will send you zip file
I see the blank screen
I see the blank screen
I see the blank screen
I found the reason why item page was blank and going to release update this evening to fix it.
Thanks, this works
Apologies if this has been asked already – is it possible to set the height of each tile (or does it automatically do this?) to fit more portrait style images?
Likewise in the detail section that opens up – is this a fixed height and if so can it be extended or does it adjust to fit the image height?
Thanks
Thanks for questions!
Title height adjusts automatically to keep all items in single row aligned properly, basically it adjusts to the tallest title in row.
Regarding details viewport. It’s height adjusts accordingly to the content that is being displayed and is then changed automatically as you resize browser window (or swap orientation on iPad for example)
Hi flGravity
The following problem is a few hours ago reported. I have the same problem: The problem has been reported by rmhettinga 19 hours ago.
Can you help because i really like your plugin.
I am getting a fatal error when I try to install this plugin using both the zipped version and the folder version in the plugin. I deactivated all my other plugins and tried again and it still did not work. It is telling me there is a fatal error on line 121 on colio.php – please advise as I have already purchased this.
Charlotte
Thanks! Checked code and corrected the problem. Update awaits approval. If you need plugin zip faster, please drop me email using mail form on my profile page. Thanks!

See my previous reply! Thanks
Can , i do like the following: If we say, each page is a category, but really I will not create a category. But , i will create a page where the content of this page is only items ex: images of cars and name on the car.
so , in this case , must i also create a gallery with category and create one gallery for one image item ? or i can create a full width page , that i can add on it many images on one time , and these images will displayed as a gallery . can i di that and how ?
Can we upload batch images for each album or we have to upload each photo at a time?
regards A.L
> Can we upload batch images for each album or we have to upload each photo at a time?
my Colio Wordpress plugin works with Posts, not a gallery of images. So every item in portfolio grid is actually a separate Post. If you need 100 items then you will have to create 100 posts, every one with its featured image and some group
I know doing this manually can be a hassle. So you can try some batch pugin like – https://wordpress.org/plugins/csv-importer/ to mass create Posts
== If you want each page to display separate category, then
1. you will have to create portfolio for every page you have 2. in portfolio settinhs in Admin configure portfolio to display items only under specific group (you should do this when you will be creating posts, see above) 3. add shortcode [colio id=”portfolio_1”] to every page to display items.
Thanks a lot for your support, Really, great support.
No problem!
Hi GUYS,
I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION BEFORE AT BUY THE PLUGIN:
I have a customer that have 500 items(PRODUCTS) , and each item have one image only with title(caption). and these items are divide to many categories, Example, one category have 100 images ,and another category have 50 images, abd so on. so , in this case, how can i create some pages where each page have custom category that have many items on it?
each item, have a image and a title(caption), not more an that. and, when i click on any image then it will displayed on a big size(fanbox)
Regards A.J.
Hi!
first of all my plugin works with its own custom post type “colio_item” (Colio->Items). So to display your products, you will have to modify php code and replace “colio_item” with your own post type (it\’s not difficult)
Secondly, unfortunately there is no way how to split 500 items to pages where each page will display certain category. In settings you can only enable/disable pagination and select number of items/per page. But not what you want.
Another option however is create separate portfolios for every category you have and then stack them together on one page. In Admin settings you have an option to specify category (group) for portfolio items to display only certain category (but again, I use custom category “colio_group” in code)
Thanks a lot, my dear.

Hello! Are you installing zip package that you downloaded from Codecanyon or colio.zip file that is inside of this package. Downloadable package includes both documentation (docs/) and colio.zip (actual WP plugin) file.
Hi, what are the changelog on your last update ? Thanks 
Hi! Update to v2.0 has a lot of big changes. Please find them below:
- plugin will now fetch item details using AJAX - added pagination support for grid items - updated 3rd party plugins: Isotope to 2.2.0, flexslider to 2.5.0, fancybox to 2.1.5, imagesLoaded to 1.3.8 - updated Colio jQuery Plugin to v1.5 - fixed problem when viewport in "inside" placement mode was overlapping grid items - performed major code optimizations and improvements - reorganize plugin file structure to make it clearer - added setting option to swap main/side content blocks in viewport - when saving settings in Admin after page reload last edited portfolio will open automatically - added support for new "Media Manager" (WP 3.5 and up) to upload extra photos
Hi, great plugin!
I installed the plugin (v1.5) but the featured image is missing when I try to add a new item. Also, I tried to upload the most recent version of the plugin (v2.0) and get a “fatal error” message. Do you know how I can install the latest version? And will this fix my “featured image” issue?
Thanks so much!
The package that you downloaded from Codecanyon contains pluging zip – colio.zip and documentation. So you should extract colio.zip and then install it on your WP.
Dear all, I have a really great problem, from some days my portfolio doesn’ t work properly exactly it doesn’ t zoom images and doen’t filter them. What can I do to fix this problem???
Hello! Could you give me a link to your site to check?
You can try to enable SEO plugin and check JS console in your browser while testing Colio. Maybe there are some errors that cause this issue.
Is this plugin working for the latest wordpress? I don’t get all the options available under “New Item”.
Hi! Yes, plugin should work ok. What options do you mean?
When adding a new item, I does not give me the option for layout or featured image.
Colio items do not have layout. Regarding the featured image, it can be related to your theme that can disable this feature. But to say more I need to check
Please create temporal admin account on your WP blog and send me credentials using mail form on my profile page here on Codecanyon.
Question, is it possible to use this plugin to display posts of a custom post type? I use different post types for many different purposes, I don’t want to import anything. Thank you.
Hi!
Basically yes, but not in Admin. You will have to change post_type in WP_Query() from “colio_item” to your post type in wp-content/plugins/colio.php file.
I purchased the plugin and really like it. Thank you so much!
Is there a way to have the first image from the grid open in the viewport when you first visit the page? I’d like to have the first image open in the viewport so the user doesn’t have to click on an image before seeing the viewport.
How would I do this?
Thanks!
Hi!
Let’s say you insert portfolio using next shortcode [colio id=”my_portfolio”]. Please open wp-content/plugins/colio/init.js and add this code before closing “});” at the end
$('#colio_my_portfolio .colio-list').trigger('colio', ['expand',0])
0 is first item
Awesome! That worked, thank you! Is there any way to apply this to all portfolios?
Yes, you just have to replace
$('#colio_my_portfolio .colio-list')
with this
$('.colio-list')
