Hi! Pre-Sales question to post categories and tags:
Can I build a pinterest post grid of “Category 1” and all the tags of these posts are appearing as filters?
Thank you!
Hello,
Yes, you can use the tags as filters
Best, David
Thank you!
Hello,
Do you want to show only the post content in the modal/popup? (without any image)
Currently there’s no option for this, but through a small modification it is possible to do
Best, David
Best would be to show the whole post as a modal. (Image + Meta + Text)
Ohh, unfortunately it wouldn’t be possible, maybe I would suggest to place the post page as an iframe in the popup
Hm, maybe. Can I automate this anyhow? With a custom URL field with ACF maybe? I don’t want the user to leave the grid-page when he clicks on a post…
Or maybe in combinatin with an existing lightbox plugin? And the “Read more” button can get something like rel=“lightbox“ by default (via code in function.php)? So that every content that is linked with the read more button is automatically opend in a modal
https://github.com/mikedoubintchik/wordpress-post-modalHi,
You can actually define an iframe URL for each item, for example go to this example: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-mediaboxes/popup-content/# and click on the “A web page” item, that will open a page on the popup (as an iframe)
Hi there,
I’d like to know if there is a feature or trick to have equal heights on the Portfolio Grid.
Without that, I can’t let the visitor know wich cards were placed “before”, or to give a time reference in the order sort.
Thanks, wil lbe expecting your response.
Hello,
Yes, you can set a static height with CSS, for example add this peace of CSS:
.media-box-content{
height: 260px !important;
}

Hi, I purchased the Wordpress version of Media Boxes. I didn’t realize I need to pay $300 to upgrade to Business to install this plugin??? Is this true? I have no idea how else to use this plugin. I’d rather not pay $300 since I’m only using this media grid for personal use, not business/commercial. Is there any way around this? I’ve already paid $17 for the jQuery version and don’t know how to use it… and now I’ve paid $23 for the WP version which requires $300? I’m so confused….
Hello,
Ohh I’m a little confused as well, I don’t have any license for $300, I only have 2 license (which are provided by CodeCanyon):
1) Regular license ($23): you can use it in a website for a client or for personal use
2) Extended license ($135): if you are going to use the plugin as part of a bigger project that’s sold to multiple customers, for example as part of a theme that’s being sold in Themeforest
Where did you see the $300 payment? maybe a screen shot? you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact for better explanation
Best, David
Hi! Please see my screenshots below. In order to use your Wordpress plugin, it looks like I’m required to have a Business plan which costs $300? Unless, there’s another way to install your plugin to get it to work on Wordpress?
https://ibb.co/MsxBTZ6 https://ibb.co/7gK3zVdAm I on the right screen to install your plugin? Here’s a screenshot of the page where it’s saying I need a business plan…
https://ibb.co/BjwQhKdHello,
Ohhh I think I understand now, that limitation is on the type of WordPress site you are using (not in the plugin), you are probably on Wordpress.com right? wordpress.com has that limitation on plugins (you can even try the free ones and you’ll get the same result)
I would suggest to use wordpress.org since you can install plugins without any business plan, you would only need a hosting.
If you are having hard times understanding the difference between .org and .com here’s a little help I found:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/why-cant-i-add-or-install-plugins-in-wordpress
and a youtube video as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvNCtIkAaus&ab_channel=DavidUtke
I hope this helps
let me know if this makes sense
Best, David
Hi!! I feel so dumb, haha!! Wordpress.org totally fixed the issue!!
Thank you!! One question though, for the Masonry Gallery is there a way to use images only for the thumbnails and create texts for the pop ups? Basically: click on a thumbnail image, pop up a paragraph?
Hello,
I’m glad you figured out
Currently this feature is not available, for it can be done with a little modifications, if you know some PHP I can guide you through
Best, David
Hi David!
Thank you! My only other question for now is do you know if there’s a way for me to set the # of thumbnails per row for mobile version? I’d like to get at least 6-10 thumbnails per row. Right now the mobile version is only showing 2 thumbnails for each row.
Hello,
Yes, you can do it in the settings of your portfolio, under the “Grid” tab you’ll find a section named “GRID LAYOUT FOR DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS” in there you can define the number of columns on each resolution
I hope it makes sense,
Best, David
Hi,
I just installed your plugin, seems to work until i make a seond portfolio.
We have 2 POST Categories: /blog/ and /nieuws/
Your plugin appears to only work for the blog posts, not the 12 news post.
I have tried everything please assist.
Kind regards,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Can you show me a living example online? (where the plugin is not working), I’ll be happy to take a look at it

I sent you a reply in your other comment, lets continue there 
hello, I installed the plugin created the Skin finally the Gallery does not work, look at this image: https://www.screencast.com/users/antonio198/folders/Default/media/1e510ea5-30eb-4133-af76-f79fb121f057
Greetings Antonio
Hi Anotnio,
you are getting an empty gallery? can you send me the link to your site?
You can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
Best, David
Please add a shortcode for the search field!
thank you for the suggestion, it does sounds like a good idea, I’ll check it out 
Thank you for the quick reply!
Hello, I wanted to ask whether you can select posts by post ID to display in the grid?
Hello,
for the grid you can only select them by category or tag
Best, David
Does the plugin supports custom posts?
yes it does 
ok thanks
sorry one more q.. would you be able to related posts grid on single posts using this plugin?
I don’t quite understand the question, can you explain a little bit more?
You know how you have a single post and at the bottom you have related posts grid. Can it be done with this plugin to make sure the grid doesn’t include the single post the related posts grid is on?
yes, you can exclude the current post from the grid 
oh ok great.. one more question.. it says portfolio.. it doesn’t come with build in portfolio post type does it? Preference is not as I already have custom post type for it so just want to double check
It’s ok I figured it now 
awesome 
hello me again
. I’m starting to familiarise myself with the plugin and have some questions.
I really quite like the the irregular layout of this example and also the mix and match with other content e.g text
http://preview.codecanyon.net/item/wp-media-boxes-portfolio-responsive-wordpress-grid-plugin/full_screen_preview/22881148?_ga=2.143389296.45731001.1615225250-919874738.1601736859I couldnt find in the settings how you would do it (so have that kind of grid layout and also the content mix to add some text really) and then when I tried to import this example to use it as a starting point, I get an error message “The post type with the key “cpt_dark_grid” is not longer available please change it for something else.” and when I view the grid on my site it doesn’t look anything like the example.
One other thing, I’m using this pop up caption like on the media grid example on my skin and just curious if there was a way to make it move like on the example below. No worries if not, would just be a nice thing but not a necessity https://visualportfolio.co/masonry-caption-move/Hello
I can send you the posts from the Dark Grid example, so you can import them in your WP and have a starting point, please contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
About your other question, currently the plugin doesn’t have that feature, although it looks nice, I’ll check it out for a future update
Best, David
Great thanks, juts emailed you.
One more question. I created a portfolio and added it to custom post type kind of page below
https://www.youandus.events/case-studies/liverpool-city-region-digital-summit/When you view it on a responsive phone view it has nice margin like the rest of the content on that page. When I add this same shortcode to a regular page, the image and content underneath go edge to edge. What could be causing this?
sent you an email 
Hi, I’m trying to create a Popup Content with a SoundCloud link but an error message appears. The message is “soundcloud.com refused to connect”. How can I fix it? I didn’t find anything in the tutorial explaining how to create a Popup with SoundCloud. Thank you.
Hello,
Which SoundCloud url you are placing in the plugin? for example try with this one: https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/115861053&auto_play=true&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true
which is the one that’s currently working here: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-mediaboxes/popup-content/#
Let me know how it goes
Best, David
So I must use the SRC iframe URL.. now it worked. Thanks for the quick response!
yes
I’m glad it is working now
Hi is there a way to have the grid contents laid out differently than the stacked from top to bottom? we want each panel to have a graphic of the left and the title, description and button on the right.
Hello
Unfortunately the plugin doesn’t have this feature at the moment, but it may be a good idea for a future update
Best, David
Hi, Is there any chance to add a custom date to the “Custom Media Gallery” items? I would like to show my items as blog posts and I need to show: title, description, date and custom external url.
If it’s not possible, I was thinking about using “Posts” as a source but in that case – post page opens instead of a custom url.
Thanks for your help!
Hello,
You can add them in the “Post Content” of each of your images, you can find the Media Boxes Meta Data of each image here: http://castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/20.mov
I hope it makes sense,
Best, David
David, yes – I’m familiar with this, but I can see here only post link, title, and content There is no space to edit media date.
Ohhh, you want a different field just for the date? if so we have the option to add “ACF fields” or “WP Custom Fields”, for example, you can download the ACF plugin and add a custom field to the “Posts” then you can use it in the skin editor here: https://imgur.com/a/RcWfSgD
I hope this makes sense 
Hi, I have a problème with this item. The post appear for example like that : “vc_rowvc_custom_heading text=”« Pour agir en faveur de la transition, les personnes doivent impérativement la comprendre »” use_theme_fonts=”yes”/vc_rowvc_column width=”2/3” À l’occasion du colloque « Pas de transition environnementale sans transformation des…” If I put “Remove shortcodes from content or excerpt”, the content doesn’t appear. What can I do, please ?
Hello,
In your portfolio settings, under the “Content” tab look for the option named “Maximum words of the content or excerpt” and remove the number that’s currently in there (leave it empty)
I hope it helps 
Thank you, but my problem is that in the excerpt , there is code like this “vc_row/vc_column[vc_column_text] ” with appear. If I put t “Remove shortcodes from content or excerpt”, All the content doesn’t appear. What can I do, please ? (sorry for my english)
ohh, but you want to remove the shortcodes? that feature will remove the shortcodes with its content, unless the content is outside the shortcode.
Sorry I’m not sure if I understood correctly :s
Yes, How can I do to remove shortcode without removing content ?
is it possible to request a refund? The plugin does not work on my site.
Thank you

Hi, can I use custom query with your plugin to filter specific posts by custom field to show in the grid?
Even if it should be hard coded – I need to show only specific post from a category. The content of the categories is changing dynamically and there is no way to choose it manually.
Hello, the category you are referring is a custom field?
yes it may be possible to do it hard coded, do you know some PHP? (so I can show you where to do it)
Best, David
You could say so. I have this custom query, which i need to implement there: { “post_type” : “post”,”meta_query” : { 0”: { “key” : “page_number”,”value” : “1”,”compare” : ”=”},”relation” : “AND”}}
I do know a little of php – you can try me 
$post_id = get_the_id();right after that line you can add something like this:
if(true){
// all good, do nothing
}else{
continue; // skip this item, and go to next one
}
and instead of if(true){ you must add your own condition to only allow posts that have the custom category you are referring
I hope this helps!
that code is executed for each item (it is the loop that iterates all the posts)
I’ve tried this:
if(get_post_meta($post_id, ‘page_number’, true)==1){ // all good, do nothing }else{ continue; // skip this item, and go to next one }
but it only breaks the site and it isnt recoverable even with the recovery link ;DDD
I have removed the plugin and reinstalled it … site now runs ok
I have found the error, and plugin is now ok, but the condition is not returning anything … I will elaborate on this a little longer 
yes, try printing the result of the condition 
Great, got it
Thanks for your help!
I purchased your plugin today, set it up and it looks great however I have come across an issue where it is conflicting with another plugin, WC Vendor.
I have no idea how or why but when the Media box plugin is enabled the ‘Add Product’ button disappears from the page where the vendors on my site can upload their virtual products.
I have cleared the cache and tried on multiple browsers (plus different users).
WC Vendor is a major part of my business so I need this to work or the plugin is no use to me which will be frustrating as it provides the exact feature I need.
Hello,
thank you
I’m sorry to hear about the conflict, it may be a CSS conflict, any chance you could show me a living example online? I’ll be happy to take a look at it and see what’s going on

Best, David
Thank you David.
I have messaged you privately, hopefully you will have received it and we can take a look together 
yes, I sent you an email 
Sorry but can I check that you are receiving my emails? I am just trying to get an update on the situation.
Hello,
Ohh I think I’m not getting your emails, I got the first one, saying “Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on the comment I posted.” then I sent you a reply, but I didn’t get any response.
I just sent you another email, let me know if you got it (to your email associate it to your codecanyon account)
Best 
I have just replied, hopefully you have received this email?
I got it now
I will take a look at the credentials you sent 
Perfect, thank you
is there any other way to insert this into a php page instead of shortcode?
Hi,
I sent you an email 
Hi, I have just purchased the plugin. It’s really great. I would like to create a grid that combines text and images. Like in your Dark Grid example. Are there any instructions on how to do it, please? Thank you very much, Vanda
Hello Vanda,
thank you
Yes, I’m guessing you already imported the examples (for the “dark grid” portfolio and the “dark grid” skin) if so then you are only missing the posts, so you can have the same example.
I can send it to you, can you please contact me via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Hello,
On my website the plugin does not load 4 items in a row as in the settings and does not fill the width of the screen. Only if I resize the window or load more items the items get the proper placement. I use a 17” screen.
Can you please take a look for me?

Hello,
First try adding this peace of CSS (in the CSS tab of your portfolio):
body{
overflow-y: scroll;
}
let me know if that helps, if still doesn’t work we can try a different solution
Best, David
Hello David,
Unfortunatly that didn’t work. On a new page I have tried a not so ideal solution. I created a div around the shortcode and tried to specify a width an center the div. Since the width of a scrollbar is not always 17px I don’t prefer this solution.
.div{width:calc(100vw – 17px); margin:0 auto;}
Do you have something better for me?
Gr Mo
https://fightfans.nl/boxing2Hi Gr Mo,
Taking a closer look I noticed that when I first load your page it looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/ASAKxvP (not fullscreen) probably the plugin is loading and taking that first width as the total width for the boxes to load
And then (probably with Javascript) your theme is resizing the container and making it full width (and the plugin doesn’t recognize the change of its container)
I could try adding a timeout for the plugin so it loads after your theme converts your page in full-width or do you know how that re-sizing of the container is working?
let me know if this makes sense 
It think that you’re right! That is exactly what happens. When I don’t set the container width to full width everything seems to be working just fine. Is there a way so I can start with initial width set to 100vw as in the css line above and then when everything is loaded this line changes to width:100%?
yes that could work, but we still need to know when the full-width change happens, I could try few things in the media boxes files, if you give me access I’ll be happy to give it a try.

https://satipo.sk/data/filter2.jpg
Can you please help me with this?
Thank you.
Hello Tom,
I understand the issue, unfortunately if the filter item is hidden it will not be selected by default since that could cause some issues in other case scenarios.
but with some peace of JS you can do it, for example something like this:
$('[data-filter=".category_2"]').on('click', function(){ // when you click this category item
setTimeout(function(){
$('[data-filter=".category_3"]').trigger('click'); // automatically select this one by default
}, 50);
});
can you show me a living example online? so I can see exactly the categories you are using, you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact
Best, David
Hi! I like to know how to create content in the grid that span 2 columns. Like in the Dark Grid preview. Can’t figure it out myself… Thanks in advance!
Hello,
are you using posts? if so then at the bottom of your post find the Media Boxes section, and you’ll see an option named “columns” like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FQue9UOpvjoFypRr7LySLezr3sw59Om2/view?usp=sharing
I hope it makes sense 
Thanks for your quick response! Is it also possible using the Custom media gallery?
yes, it is possible, check this video: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/20.mov
Best, David
Thanks David!
