Hi, how can I do to center the filter group, please ? (actually it is on the left)

Hello,

Hello, is it possible to have always the same height and have an horizontal border between post (see this scene : https://www.lequerre.fr/test-jeter/) Thannks

Hello,
1) yes, you can have a static height, you can do it with CSS as follows: https://codecanyon.net/item/wp-media-boxes-portfolio-responsive-wordpress-grid-plugin/22881148/comments?page=16&filter=all#comment_26297131

2) you can add some horizontal space, in the “Grid” tab of your portfolio settings, find this option:

Horizontal space
you can adjust the space there

Hi, I tried to put media box for posts made with Divi but we can’t see content. (see here : https://www.lequerre.fr/etudes-et-sondages-publies/ ) Only the first post was made without divi. Is it possible to show content ? thanks

Hello,
it may be possible that your theme is using shortcodes for the content of your posts, so you can try doing the following:
1) open the class_media_boxes_shortcode.php file and find this:

$text = $remove_shortcodes == true ? strip_shortcodes( $text ) : $text;
2) then replace it for this:
$text = do_shortcode( $text );
then try again!
let me know how it goes :)

Best, David

Hello. I replaced the code but it still doesn’t work. :( Best

Sorry, I made a mistake. the code is working ! Thanks !!! :)

Hi, I’m trying to setup my boxes to do the following:

Custom media gallery – photos hyperlinks to individual external websites Boxes to all load at once

Are you able to help out with this?

Hello,
You can hide the sort box with the following CSS:

.media-boxes-sort{
    display: none !important;
}
I hope this helps :)

David, you have been the most awesome support. Thank you very much!

thank you :D

Hi,

I imported the Portfolio Skin file and modified the Thumbnail and Title, and then saved it. However, when I insert the shortcode to my page, I receive this error message: “This portfolio does not have a skin, or the skin chosen does not exists anymore.”

Can you please help me to rectify this problem?

Thank you.

Regards, Barry

Hello Barry,
Try assigning the skin to the portfolio (in the portfolio settings, navigate to the layout tab and choose a skin)

if still doesn’t work, I’ll be happy to take a look at it, you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Hi there! Is this the multimedia version of your other plugin Auto Photo Album? I am looking for a plugin that will automatically create a media grid of images and videos pulled from the Media Gallery.

Do you need to manually add the media using this plugin?

Thanks!

Alex

Hello Alex,
with this plugin, you can choose manually the images from the Media Gallery (I named the option Custom Media Gallery) OR you can set the plugin to read all your Media Gallery (option named Media Gallery)

It only works on images though

Best, David

In one of your comments from a year ago you wrote, “The plugin can’t filter using the ACF plugin, but you can use the ACF fields in the skin editor, so those are visible in the gallery.”

Is this still the case? I would love to filter by some of the custom fields I’ve created with ACF.

I absolutely LOVE your plugin, by the way.

Hello,
At the moment yes, it still the case, but I wrote it down for a future update :)

thank you :D and wish you all the best
David

Stink. Well, when that functionality becomes available, I’ll be using it! :-)

Another issue is loading divi posts, the content media boxes loads are divi source code.

Hello there,
I’m not sure I understand, the source is a custom post type? if so, the plugin is able to read it :)

Best, David

The Media Box when a post content is created by divi look like this: – check the screenshot at this hyperlink: https://ibb.co/5hFvNy2

Ohh I understand now, do you want to remove those shortcodes from divi?


An alternative, so you don’t load all that divi content, is that you can define your own content for the media boxes, in the media boxes meta data of each post, here: https://imgur.com/a/YZwtfLw

I hope this helps :)

Hi, in the source tab of WP MEDIA BOXES PORTFOLIO could you make it possible to select more than one Post type.

It was due to my customer website structure.

Hello,
Unfortunately at the moment the plugin can only read one source type at the time

Best, David

Hi. how can I have on my grid filters not on top but on the left-hand side of the grid

thank you

Hello,
By default the plugin doesn’t have this layout, but you can place the filters using a shortcode, so you can put them anywhere you want in your page.
Just navigate to the settings of your portfolio and below each of your filters, you’ll see a button named “VIEW SHORTCODE” then copy/paste anywhere in your page (and don’t forget to remove the filter from the “Layout” tab)

I hope this makes sense

Best, David

Hello, I have a question about a functionality I want in the image gallery

What I want is to have a link that will open and load the gallery page with a specific filter applied, and not the “all” Is that possible with your plugin? Do you have any example I Can see?

Thanks and keep up the good work

Hello,
yes, you can have deeplinking on each filter item, for example if you click on this link: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/mediaboxes/example/blog_posts.html#(grid|filter)=.Photography; it will show the “Photography” filter by default

you can change the filters in order to get the different links

Best, David

can the plugin work as well as the demo without other plugin (your credit description)?

yes, the plugin is using Isotope for the grid and you can choose between Fancybox or Magnific Popup for the popup/lightbox

so the pop up view is not include?

yes, both popup/lightboxes are included, in the admin settings of the plugin you can choose between them

It is important for us to have categories shown as menu items but posts in categories are not listed as grid. Please help, it is urgent.

Hello,
I don’t think I understand your concern, can you show me a living example online? so I can take a look and see what’s going on.
Please contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Best, David

The plugin does not show in the wordpress after install

Hello,
Did you get any error during the installation process? I will be happy to take a look at it, can you contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Best, David

Fixed that part but I need to apply it to category landing pages, not in posts. How do I apply without putting shortcode in individual posts?

for better support, lets keep the support in the other comment :D, I sent a reply

Best, David

Hi,

Could you help me add a shortcode from [kk star rating] wordpress plugin for rating. https://wordpress.org/plugins/kk-star-ratings/

Hello,
One question, do you want to include this shortcode in the content of your post?

Best, David

I already have this in the post, my idea is to add also at the card on skin editor.

do you mean, be able to run shortcodes in the “Text” item of the skin editor?

Can you send me a screen shot where you have the shortcode already? since I’m not sure I understand you correctly

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

Hi,

I have purchased a plugin and trying to upload to my website. It was failed to upload to both my staging and production website. I am using wordpress

what should i do?

best, Nina

Hello Nina,
Try to unzip the file you downloaded from CodeCanyon, inside you’ll find a file named wp_media_boxes.zip that’s the one you need to upload into Wordpress.

Additionally here’s a video tutorial: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-mediaboxes/documentation/#videotutorials

Best :D

Hey there hope all’s well.

I’m just wondering can you help with Media Boxes. I’m trying to add a custom link to the image icon. I’ve already added the option in the Skins menu but no matter what link I enter into the ‘Post Link’ tab in the ‘Edit Image ’ option, once clicked, the link keeps loading back to the page where the image contains the link. In other words; I click the link and the page I’m on just reloads.

Can you please help me get this sorted?

Thanks, Rob.

Media Boxes Please, how could i change the color and transparency of the lightbox background, from black to 100% white? And consequently all the controls would turn black.

Regards

Hi David, thanks your css works as I hoped!

Please, last question, how can I adjust the transparency of the white background, I would like it totally white.

Hello, great :)
Ohh yes, just set the opacity of the background to 1, like this:

.fancyboxMB-bg{
  background: white !important;
  opacity: 1 !important;
}
Best, David

Great thanks David, it’s just how I wanted it. Thanks for support! : )

Hello I wanted to ask. When removing the plugin from a site, how do I make sure that all files from the plugin are removed from my database. I know some plugins leave stuff being, whcih then bloats database, so I wanted to check if this plugin cleans after itself if that makes sense?

Sorry one more thing. I’ve noticed there is a bunch of media boxes records in postmeta after removing the plugin still. Is there a SQL query to safely delete those or is it safe to just delete anything with media_boxes in the record ? Each record has a delete option next to it.

yes, you can delete them from the DB, you can search for all of them with this query:
SELECT * FROM `wp_postmeta` where meta_key LIKE 'media_boxes_%'
Best, David

than ks fab it worked
