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

Hi! I would like to know if there is an option to build a blog post grid like this Pinterest Style: http://preview.codecanyon.net/item/wp-media-boxes-portfolio-responsive-wordpress-grid-plugin/full_screen_preview/22881148?_ga=2.224300888.2120667252.1615803382-494006442.1615803382 and open the post content as a modal / popup? Thank you

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

Hi,
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,
I’m glad you figured out :D

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

ciao , ho installato il plugin creato la Skin infine la Gallery non funziona , guarda questa immagine : https://www.screencast.com/users/antonio198/folders/Default/media/1e510ea5-30eb-4133-af76-f79fb121f057

saluti Antonio

I sent you a reply in your other comment, lets continue there :D

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 :)
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 :D 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 :D

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 ?

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

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

Hi, can I use custom query with your plugin to filter specific posts by custom field to show in the grid?

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.

I have just replied, hopefully you have received this email?

I got it now :D 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 :D

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?

Hi 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.

Hello, I have activated 2 filters and both have selected default filter items. All items of second filter have set visibility conditions and are shown only after selecting second item of first filter (first item of first filter is set as default). But when I click second item of first filter, which is not default, the default item of second filter is not activated. I hope you understand :) https://satipo.sk/data/filter1.jpg 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!

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!
