Hello Can the video player be in a light box? its very small when it plays on the same place , not popup light box like the photos
Hello,
do you mean the youtube/vimeo player? if so then yes, you can have it in the lightbox as well, you can see an example here: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-mediaboxes/blog-posts/ just click on the second thumbnail

Hi, how do you alter how many items displays? I’ve tried changing this bit “Number of boxes to load at the beginning” from 8 to 12 but it hasn’t worked. Am I looking in the right place? There’s not even a load more button, so I think I’ve done something wrong!
Hello,
yes indeed, the “Number of boxes to load at the beginning” are the number of items displayed when the page loads.
can you show me a living example online so I can see what’s going on? also you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Hi, Could you please guide me in providing documentation on how to create a video gallery. I am trying to create a video gallery of custom videos, not youtube or Vimeo videos. Please help in providing a guide to achieve the same.
Hi,
currently the plugin doesn’t have a MP4 player, so you can’t upload native videos to the lightbox, only youtube/vimeo videos. Unless you have an iframe MP4 player, since the plugin supports iframes as well
I may add a MP4 player in the future though
Best,
David
hi There,
I purchased, installed and followed your instructions provided. I needed a gallery with filters, in the sense that I can create a folder or album that I can add images too, then setup a filter, this is not the case with your plugin. This plugin does not serve our purpose whatsoever. Can you please provide us with a refund. Thank you.
Hello,
about your request, please contact me via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
Additionally, as a recommendation, if you want to create a folder in your server and have a plugin to scan that directory so it creates a responsive gallery this plugin may be what you are looking for: https://codecanyon.net/item/auto-grid-responsive-gallery-wordpress/3959433
Best, David
its possible show a button for image download?
Hi,
by default this feature is not included in the plugin, this would require some customization
Best, David
Hi, I was able to upload this plugin and everything seems to be working fine, but I was wondering if there is a way to change the color of the “filter button” from red.
Also, when viewing my images in popup mode clicking on the arrow does not seem to work on one click only double click. Is this how it should be? At first I found myself clicking on the image once and thought it was repeating itself once before going to the next. Can I change this function to one click?
Hello,
1) yes, you can change the color with this small peace of CSS (just add it in the CSS tab in the admin section):
ul.media-boxes-filter>li>a.selected,
ul.media-boxes-drop-down-menu > li > a:hover {
background: blue !important;
}
2) strange, it supposed to be working on first click like in the demo, can you show me a living example online so I can take a look and see what’s going on? also you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
Best Regards,

Hello, I need to create a library type for some animation presets and I’m thinking of using your WP Media boxes. I would just like to ask you some questions before you buy:
1 – How can I create an offline version? Or because it is Wordpress it will not be possible.
2 – Can I use GIF’s aniimados? If yes, is there any possibility of the animated Gif just run in mouseOver?
3 – If your ready product can not attend to me, do you work as a freelancer?
Sent you an email 
Hi, one more question – the corners of gallery pictures thumbnails in WP versions are a little rounded which I also notice on my page while on html version which I’ve seen on your live preview page are perfectly rectangular. Any chance to get them rectangular too on WP version? And how to get this zoom effect of the thumbnail which you have on your page?
Hi,
1) you can remove the border-radius with this peace of CSS:
.media-box-container{
border-radius: 0 !important;
}
2) for the zoom effect on the thumbnail you only need to add this peace of CSS:
/* hover effect on the image */
@media_boxes .media-box-image img{
-webkit-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
-webkit-transform-origin: bottom left;
-moz-transform-origin: bottom left;
-o-transform-origin: bottom left;
-ms-transform-origin: bottom left;
transform-origin: bottom left;
}
@media_boxes .media-box-image:hover img{
-webkit-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
-moz-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
-o-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
-ms-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
}
this CSS goes in the “CSS” tab in the admin section of the Media Boxes
I hope this makes sense,
Best, David
Thanks a million! Your support is realy great!

Hi David,
I have another question.
As you can see in this image, http://microsite.scml.pt/apoio/image.png ... the boxes aren’t aligned because of the size of the text.
Can I, through css or whatever, make the containers all of the same size so they can stay vertically aligned?
Thank you, Pedro
Hi Pedro,
yes, you can add a static height via CSS, can you show me a living example online? so I can take a look and provide an specific solution
you can contact me privately via email here as well: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
Best, David
I figured it out
. Sorry!
thank you
awesome 
David, sorry but I have another question.
Is it possible for the second filter group to be displayed depending on a choice made in the first filter group?
Thank you, Pedro
Hi Pedro,
with the current version of the plugin is not possible, but in the next update I’m including this feature, if you want to try it out you can contact me via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact so I can send it to you
Best, David
I’ll wait, David. No problem.
Thank you.
Have a nice weekend
Hello, first I would like to say that it is a great plugin. Many Thanks.
It would be nice if you can easily identify and select sub categories.(have many categories, the page is very long)
and Filter with checkbox
- slider skin
in the items
share button
insert shortcodes
,
Skin Builder with in a series of different widths of colums
eg 1: 2, 1: 4, 1: 4 in a row
thanks Achim
HI Achim,
thank you
do you mean that the subcategories have like a dash? so you can differentiate them from the categories? can you take a screen shot of the long list of categories where you wish to identify them?
actually in the new update you can have the filters as checkboxes, you can contact me via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact and I’ll send you the latest version for you to test
thank you for the suggestions for a future update
Best,
David
Hi,
I will list some questions that I have.
1. Does this plugin work with AVADA theme?
2. Can I use it with the “normal” blog element inside a container?
3. Can I use the multiple filter with blog posts?
4. Can I use the other views with blog element (ex Dark grid), or is it limited to the AVADA styles?
It’s a very nice plugin and it looks like an excellent improvement for a website.
Thank you.
Hi,
thank you
1) yes this plugin works with AVADA
2) what’s the “normal” blog? and what do you mean a container?
3) yes, you can use multiple filters with any post type (as long as they have taxonomies)
4) yes, you can use any of the styles found here: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/mediaboxes/example/ they are named “skins” in the plugin, or you can even create your own
I hope it makes sense
Best, David
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I don’t really know what I mean with normal blog
.
Let me try to explain. Can I use this in a normal page with the blog element, and maintain the breadcrumbs, footer, whatever I design in that page?
Thank you again.
Yes, this plugin doesn’t touch or modify your page design, it is just the gallery/portfolio, so you can place the gallery in any page and it will keep your default page design, for example here’s a video on how to create your first portfolio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWoAEpr1pvo
Best, David
Thank you again, David.
You were very helpful.
Have a nice day, Pedro
thank you

THANK YOU !!! Sure ! http://www.talescout.com/test3/ .... why not load automatically?
I sent you an email, lets continue via email for better support 
Hi, I bought your plugin last week, I’ve been testing it lately and have some grid issue, although I set horizontal and vertical space value to 0px it I still get vertical space about 50px, here you can see it (the first gallery on the top): http://www.tufotografotenerife.com/
Hi,
I see the issue, that’s because the content area still there (although it is empty), just disable it in the skin editor page, like this:
http://www.castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/12.png
I hope this makes sense 
Thank you for your quick response. Done, helped. It looks perfect now.
awesome 
Hi! I’m using the multiple filters template. But my website has 3 languages (using Polylang plugin). I translated the taxonomies but the filters displays only one language. Is it possible to translate it?
Thanks!
Hi there,
I’m currently on vacations, but I’ll be back on January 4, so I can’t be of much help.
In theory the plugin is getting the taxonomies names from the WP core, but not sure how the Polylang plugin works.
I’ll be happy to fix this issue as soon as I get back

Hi there,
Is there an easy way to offload the plugin scripts on pages that are not using the media boxes shortcode?
Thanks, Beth
Hi Beth,
I’m currently on vacations, but I’ll be back on January 4, so I can be of much help at the moment.
But about your concern currently is not possible, but I’ll definitely include this in my next update
Best Regards, David
Hi, I’ve just purchsed your plugin for WP and installed it, but it can not be switched on, this is what I get: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[’ in /home/chris/public_html/tufotografotenerife.com/wp-content/plugins/wp_media_boxes/class_media_boxes_shortcode.php on line 139 the line 139 is: $items = [];
Solved, updated php version
Hi dear customer,
I’m currently on vacations, but I’ll be back in 5 days, so I can’t be of much help at the moment. (When I get back I’ll be fully available though)
About your issue, I’m glad you figured out
Best Regards, David
hey
i have the wordpress plugin.
i want to use filters for categories and tags that are appended to MEDIA LIBRARY items only. i.e. i have not created any posts.
is this possible with your plugin or not?
right now, when i am creating a media box grid i don’t see any of the categories or tags that are from media library items but i do see them when i test this with posts.
i would be grateful if you can get back to me asap about this.
many thanks
alex
Hi Alex
I’m currently away on vacations (I’ll be back on January 4)
I’ll try to help you from my phone though.
About your concern: WP doesn’t support by default adding taxonomies (tags or categories) to the media library, although some third party plugins add this possibility they don’t work the same in the back end when retrieving them as you would usually do with post or custom post types.
That’s why I created the possibility to add your own categories in the Media Boxes when using the Media Gallery, you can see how this works in the following video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=m2O3idiHIW8
I hope this makes sense
Best, David
Hi, just installed your plugin and from some reason in the section SOURCE > POST TYPE it doesn’t shows my existing Posts and says ‘No post types found’... Also there is this message > The post type with the key ”” is not longer available please change it for something else. I’m using Avada theme and please advise me what should I do to make possible to select my Posts to be listed in portfolio. Thank you in advance!
Hi,
wow this is very strange,
is there any chance you could give me access to your WP so I can see what’s going on? you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
also I’m about to go on a small vacation period, but I’ll be around like 1 more hour
Best, David

2- Configure Sorting
Can I add special chosing ?
Thank You very much.
i want delete br tags. İt’s not seem here
Hi,
thank you
1) you can remove those BR tags by adding this peace of CSS (in the CSS tab of the portfolio):
.media-boxes-search br{
display: none !important;
}
not sure why there are those br tags though
2) for sorting only these options are available: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/13.png

Hi, How Can i change Custom Media Gallery Category Names ? I couldn’t edit them ? I can add new category or i can delete it but i can’t edit category name. Why not ?
