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 ;)

Best, David

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,
David

Hi I just purchased this plugin and it failed on me. Wondering if I did something wrong.

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

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.

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 :D

Hi, how are you ?

Please i’m testing your plugin and it’s not working for me!

When i load the page with the short code the posts are not displaying. Every time i need press LOAD MORE button, so then they appears fine and work… i’ve selected ALL category, or others to try, but no sucess… configured start showing 1 – 2 -3 – 6, minimum per cat 1 to 6 … nothing work…. any idea ? Thank you so much from Brasil, sorry for bad english !

Hi,
can you show me a living example online? so I can take a look and see what’s going on?

you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Best, David

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.

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, I’m back from vacations, can you show me a living example online? you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

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 :D

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 :D

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

Email sent, please check if you received it. Thanks!

sent you an answer ;)

Hi, I’m using wp plugin. I love it. It’s very useful. I have two question. 1 – Search box codes
<input type=”text” class=”media-boxes-search-5c416c409526e” placeholder=”Arama Yapın” default-value=””>

How can I disable or delete
?

You can see here: https://www.orka.com.tr/test22/

2- Configure Sorting

Can I add special chosing ?

Thank You very much.

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

Best, David

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 ?
