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 spaceyou 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.

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 Tracy,
I’m imaging you already followed this tutorial (for custom media gallery): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2O3idiHIW8&ab_channel=castlecode
then you can set specific content for each individual image, like the “post link” (hyperlink) or “post title” or “post content”, you can do this by following this video: http://castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/20.mov
I hope this makes sense
Best,
David
Fast response, thanks David!
Is there a way to put padding on the image thumbnails that I’m using themselves? When I edit the skins, all I am able to edit is the text.
Likewise, I also want everything to load immediately – is there a way to do that too?
To add to this, I can’t also seem to add a border around the box/image. Is that possible as well?
Hello,
for the padding/border you can add something like this (in the CSS tab of your portfolio)
.media-box-image div[data-width][data-height]{
border: 20px solid white;
}
if you want to load everything at start, you can se the “Number of images to load at the beginning” to something big, like 9999, for example: https://imgur.com/a/V9koYXv
Best, David
David, you’re amazing thank you for the help! Is this normal? I’ve been seeing an underline beneath my images/thumbnail.
https://imgur.com/iLGDmS1I’ve been able to remove it – thank you David (: My last (hopefully!) question is if there’s a way to add titles by category? Segregate them that way?
For your reference – I’m trying to emulate what we’ve done here previously – Canada/International being two of our categories.
https://imgur.com/w0AtYliHello Tracy,
do you mean add the categories separated by a comma in each item? if so you can do it in the skin editor, by selecting this element: https://imgur.com/a/ugmYLun
Best, David
Thank you David! Would you know of any way of loading the boxes automatically sorted alphabetically without having the physical sort button enabled?
Hi Tracy,
Ohh if you are using the Custom Media Gallery, the plugin will use the order you have visually in the admin section (you can drag the images to change the order)
at the moment, you have the sort button in the grid doing the desired order by default? if so, we can just hide the button with CSS
Best, David
Hi David,
Yes, I’m using a custom media gallery. I was hoping to automate the sorting front end.
At the moment, I removed the sort button for now. If we can hide it with CSS that would be great!
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 
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.

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
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)?
Hello,
you can place the gallery (only the grid) in your site/theme via shortcode, without anything else, just the grid
Best, David
are compatible with divi elegant theme?
yes and if you run into any compatibility issues I’ll be happy to solve them 
so the plugin is working without Isotope & Fancybox?
are you have documentation for it?
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.

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

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

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

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
Hello,
You can do it with this peace of CSS:
.fancyboxMB-bg{
background: white !important;
}
you can place it in the CSS tab
Best, David
Thanks David, great, it works! could you write me a css to change the color of the controls and arrows, to have them without boxes, all in black on a white background. The caption should also be written in black on a white background.
Hello,
you can try something like this:
.fancyboxMB-bg{
background: white !important;
}
.fancyboxMB-caption-wrap{
background: none !important;
}
.fancyboxMB-caption{
color: black !important;
border: 0 !important;
}
.fancyboxMB-button{
background: none !important;
}
.fancyboxMB-button::after,
.fancyboxMB-button::before {
color: black !important;
}
but unfortunately fancybox is using a svg image for the arrows (next and prev) so we can’t modify the color with CSS
Best, David
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?
Hi Celina,
The portfolios and skins remains, but if you want to remove them from the DB, you can open the admin/admin.php file and right after this:
<?phpadd this:
delete_option( MEDIA_BOXES_PREFIX . '_portfolios' ); delete_option( MEDIA_BOXES_PREFIX . '_skins' );then in your Wordpress navigate to the Media Boxes admin section where your portfolios are, and that’s it, that should remove the portfolios and skins from the DB
Best, David
Hi David,
Do you mean to run a SQL query as below?
<?php delete_option( MEDIA_BOXES_PREFIX . ‘_portfolios’ ); delete_option( MEDIA_BOXES_PREFIX . ‘_skins’ );
I have deleted the skins and portfolio in the actual plugin. Does it not remove from DB or shall I still add this code to admin php ?
Thanks Celina
Hi Celina, ohh if you removed manually each portfolio and skin (using the delete red button) then it is the same, that will remove it from the DB
so no need to run the code I sent
Best, David
Oh perfect thanks
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.
SELECT * FROM `wp_postmeta` where meta_key LIKE 'media_boxes_%'Best, David
than ks fab it worked
