Hi there! Love the plugin so much. I have a filter set and it’s inline with about 25 locations to select from. Is it possible for the user to be able to select multiple locations and have the results display?
Let me know! Thank you!
Ok I figured this out ^ One more question: what does the “search bar” actually search? When I type in some of the tag names, nothing comes up.
The filtering seems to stop working at a certain point as well. I’m not sure what is wrong. Here is the site: https://vogueproperties.websitepro.hosting/property-index/
Hello Sophia,
1) The “Search Bar” search for the text inside the item/box, so for example, if the “tag names” are not inside the item then the search will not able to find them, an alternative would be to add it and then hide it with CSS (so it is there but hidden)
2) Can you describe a little more the issue about the filtering? I see it working correctly
Best Regards, David
Hi David, thank you so much for the quick response. Can I send you a video screen capture somewhere? Also, is there a way to add a “reset” button?
For search: my sources are entirely images. Is there a way to add text to these?
Hello,
1) Yes, you can send me a private message here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact and we can continue via email
2) About the reset button, this may help: https://codecanyon.net/item/wp-media-boxes-portfolio-responsive-wordpress-grid-plugin/22881148/comments?page=1&filter=all#comment_28682525
3) Yes, in the skin editor, you can add content, or title or the categories, then hide it with CSS

Hi, I have some pre sale questions,
1. Is it compatible with Elementor? 2. Is it compatinle with wodpress 6.1?
Thanks.
Also can it be used on portfolio and when we click on a portfolio item it opens it’s portfolio item detail page?
Hello,
1) The plugin is placed via a shortcode, so you can place it inside Elementor with the shortcode
2) Yes, it is compatible with the latest WP version
3) Yes, that’s also possible, you can configure the actions of the thumbnail-overlay icons to do so
Best Regards,
David
Hello,
The only similar option would be the “Minimum of boxes per filter” (under the Grid tab), also you can turn off “Lazy Load`”
I hope this helps 
Best, David
Hello! I’m using your plugin, and I find it amazing, but I need a specific filter and I would ask how to set it. I need to set a page for each category of my portfolio (ex. Category1, Category2, Category3). In this page I need a filter based on tags (ex. Tag1, Tag2, Tag3). At the moment, when I go to the page with Category1, and click on Tag1 to filter, it shows me all the projects on Tag1 – from all the projects, not only Category1. I need to show only projects for the specific category and filter with tags, For ex. “show me all projects on Category1 with Tag1” (not: “show me all the projects with Tag1”). Is it possible with your plugin? Thank you in advance Melania
Hello Melania,
Can you send me the link to your site? so I can take a look at it? (for better understanding)
you can also contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact
Best, David
Thank you David, just sent!
Hello Melania,
I sent you an email on October 26, also I just sent you another one, did you receive any of them? if not, can you provide an alternative email?
Best, David
Hello David, I didn’t receive your emails, could you please forward it to info@melabyte.it and send there future emails about this? Thank you!
I just did, let me know if you receive it
Hello
I purchased your plugin “Media Boxes Portfolio”: 07bfb167-7c2c-4ba7-82fa-5c42e5af459f – 21 Oct 2022
I want to create a photo gallery with my 1500 pictures. Each of the photos is already assigned to categories in the “media categories”. In your description it says, that I have to create new categories for the plugin?! But I want to use the existing media categories and not assign hundreds of photos again! Please tell me what to do.
Best, Simone
Hi Simone,
Which “Media Categories” are you referring to? can you maybe send me a screen shot?
Also you can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact for better support
Best, David
Hi,
I just bought your plugin and have a question. I added a skin and made a media box. I selected my portfolio as source and everything is working.
But I am unable to find, when opening a portfolio picture on the page, how I can scroll through the pictures of that specific portfolio? I hope this is an option in the plugin?
Kind regards, Niels
Hi Niels,
Do you mean that you want to add multiple popup images to a specific post?
Best,
David
Hi, Yes, thats what I mean. Like on my current portfolio page: https://www.pdcelectronics.be/realisaties/ Kind regards, Niels
Hi Niels,
For some reason I’m not able to see correctly your current portfolio, but you can add extra popup image URLs for each post/item in the meta data section, here: https://imgur.com/a/sTxtjDK
I hope this makes sense
Hi, Thank you, this works. But now I have a followup question: So I added the URLs and also a button in the skin editor for each portfolio item to open the pictures. But now when clicking to the next pictures I also see the pictures of the next portfolio item and I dont want that? If I click on the button to show the pictures, I only want to see the pictures of that specific portfolio item. How can you do that?
Hi Niels,
Unfortunately there’s no option for this, but it is possible with a small JS customization in the code.
Do you know some JS? I can send you some instructions in order to make this modification
Best Regards
Yes, let me know how to do it.
Here are the instructions:
1) Open the wp_media_boxes/plugin/js/jquery.mediaBoxes.js file and find this:
startFancybox($container, selector);
2) Then replace that line of code with the following code:
$container.find('.media-box, .media-box-hidden').each(function(){
selector = ".mb-open-popup[data-src]";
startFancybox($(this), selector);
});
and that’s it, clear your browser cache and try again
I hope this helps
This fixes my problem, thank you!
Great
Hello, I bought your product but I don’t know how to create popup content – a web page. Could you help me with that? I don’t see any tutorials about it anywhere in the documentation.
Regards, Agata
Hi Agata,
You can configure this in the “Meta Data” of your posts, here: https://imgur.com/a/v28VIbE
Here’s a video on how to find the meta data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe3Bw7sY6Rg&t=32s&ab_channel=castlecode
I hope this makes sense,
Best, David
Second question: I would like to create a url to the active bookmark, is it possible? when I enter a specific url, it will immediately show me a subpage with an active specific tab
https://zapodaj.net/b8918cae3a2f1.png.htmlHello Agata,
1) Do you mean that the overlay is always active by default? if so, there’s an option for that, you can turn it on here: https://imgur.com/a/BJnUpJi
2) At the moment there’s an option named “Deeplinking” which will create a unique URL for each filter, you can turn it on here: https://imgur.com/a/xrVv655
I hope this helps
Hello, I bought your plugin a long time ago, but I just use it. I want to know if I can change the language of “Read more” after the excerpt. thanks a lot
Hello,
Are you referring to the one in the “Blog Post” example? if so, you can do it in the skin editor, here: https://imgur.com/a/9BeqKaa
I hope this helps
Best,
David
The solution works. Thanks a lot Great plugin and Great assistance!
thank you 
Hi, this question is in regards to the Wordpress version of the Media Boxes. I saw someone had asked 8-10 months ago about adding HMTL content for popup content. Is there a new update on this, or do you have a timeline of when this will be possible?
Instead of popping up photos, I would love to be able to pop up text instead so people can read my thoughts/writings.
Hello,
Unfortunately I don’t have an ETA update, at the moment the only solution would be to set a link to a static page with the thoughts/writings (via iframe)
Best, David
Hello, I have a presale question: I need a portfolio, in a page I show only one category, and in this page I need to set an ajax filter based on portfolio tags. Is this plugin suitable for this purpose? Thank you in advance
Hello,
1) Yes, you can bring only the post that belong to a specific category
2) Yes, you can filter by tags (you would need to select the category and all the tags that will be used)
3) The filter doesn’t support ajax, it is just a js filter of the items
I hope this makes sense
Hi, thank you for your reply! Sorry I maybe said it wrong, I didn’t mean ajax, I meant the filter that works remaining on the same page (but I just saw it in your demo). Thank you again!
Purchased and enjoyed! It’s an amazing plugin, it did exactly what I needed thank you
Awesome happy to hear that!!!
Hi there – after performing a mulitple filtered search, is there an option to reset the values? Many thanks
Hello,
This option is not available by default, but it is possible by doing the following:
first you’ll need a button, something like this:
<button class="reset_filters">Reset Filters</button>then add this JS for reseting the filters:
jQuery("body").on('click', '.reset_filters', function(){
jQuery('[data-filter="*"]').trigger('click');
});
I hope this helps
Best, David
Perfect David!! Thank you so much for coming back to me so quickly
Hello, I would like to disable the lightbox on mobile devices on certain skins only, and have it open in a new tab instead. is this possible?
Hello,
This particular condition is not possible at the moment, it would required some JS customizations, if you know some JS I can guide you a little so you can make the adjustments in Javascript
Best, David
Hi – we can’t seem to get MP4 video to embed into the grid – can you assist?
Hello,
You can add a mp4 file in the popup, but you need the URL of the mp4 file (not the file itself), this may help:
For a custom media gallery you can add YouTube/vimeo videos or maps as follows: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/9.mov
also this is possible if you are using posts or custom post type as the source!
Best, David
Hello! I purchased your Media Boxes WP-based portfolio. I love these portfolio plugins and skins; however I was thinking this was a theme. Is there anything I need to do in order to get the pre-populated pages that come with your HTML package? I actually purchased the HTML package years ago and I really like the various grids. Thank you for your time! Jason
Hi Jason,
Thank you
About the pages, do you want to access the demo data? if so, I created a custom post type of each demo / page, I can export each for you, do you have the “wp all export” plugin? I can export them with that plugin
let me know what you think
Best, David
Hi, When using deep linking and the deep links to create main menu nav items you are able to visit the first category by selecting this link in the main navigation but when you select another post category from the main navigation the nav anchor link changes to the correct category name but does not change the category in the media boxes below. Is there a way to create a main menu navigation link that will change the media box post category like if you were to click tab links?
Hello,
You can do it only with JS, for example to trigger the 3rd category, this would be the JS:
$('.media-boxes-filter *[data-filter]').eq(2).trigger('click');
Best, David
Hi, I’m having a problem with Media Boxes, When I’m selecting the “Open the Popup” option for the thumbnail, I’m getting each gallery image X2 times in the slider.
When it’s linked to nothing – it works.
Example here: https://www.cbd-arch.com/portfolio-item/%d7%aa%d7%99%d7%9b%d7%95%d7%9f-%d7%90%d7%9c%d7%93%d7%93-%d7%a0%d7%aa%d7%a0%d7%99%d7%94/How do I fix this?
Hello,
Ohh I think you also have a link when clicking on the “icon” (in the skin editor), try removing the link from there, here: https://imgur.com/a/AaLJfm7
I hope this helps

I selected multiple parent categories in portfolio > source > post categories. Unfortunately, if I click on a parent category the posts of the child categories are not shown. Could you please help me with this. Thank you in advance.
Hello,
You would need to select the child categories in portfolio > source > post categories OR your post would also need to be checked for the parent category
Best, David
The second solution works for me. Thanks a lot Great plugin btw.
Is there a limit on how many photos can be in a gallery
There’s no limit, but we recommend to stay below 1,000 images for performance purposes
Best, David
Dear Team,
We have been using Cloudflare APO in our site which helps us to cache the HTML. So whenever we are making changing on site it will automatically purge from backend and server the latest content.
But the pages where we have used Media boxes, there content is still served from Cache instead of latest content.
For an example in our website, just to give you an example ;- https://www.brahmakumaris.com/ (There is an section called Soul Sustenance where you can see the data of 25th June) Now same post is not available in dedicated page for the same topic. https://www.brahmakumaris.com/soul-sustenance/If we purge the page from cloudflare or hard refresh then only we would be able to see the content of 25th june on dedicated pages as mentioned above.
We faced this issue only on pages where media boxes used as per our observations.
Further, If we edit the page https://www.brahmakumaris.com/soul-sustenance/ by making any minor changes as well, then it will clear the cache automatically (that means cloudflare is working properly). Only in case where we are not making any changes in the page but putting content on the category is not reflecting.
Kindly support and feel free to reach out to us in case of any interpretation required.
IT Team, Brahma Kumaris
Hello Brahma,
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with “Cloudflare APO”, but are you using the latest version of the Media Boxes? if not, try to download the plugin from codecanyon and upload it again to your site
Also, if you deactivate the plugin, does this issue go away?
Best, David
Hey there,
Been using your plugin for a while now without any issues but lately i’ve been trying to figure something out and i cant quite get there.
I’ve been using the normal css “load more” button for ages and allthough it works i would like to make something more fancy. Is there a way to transfer the load more button’s function to the last loaded box/image on screen?
Example; i have 6 boxes loaded with images and a bunch more hidden (or rather not loaded) waiting for a press on the “load more” button. 5 of them are normal thumbnails that open a lightbox on click and the 6th is a custom image with a “load more” text in it. I want that last image to activate the loading of the next 5, or 10, or whatever number of boxes, and behave as if it were the normal load more button.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to do this (if its possible at all).
Cheers and keep up the great work you are doing with this plugin!
Hello,
thank you
Unfortunately at the moment we don’t have this feature, but if you know some JS/jQuery there’s a line of code you can use to trigger the “Load More” button from Javascript, which is the following:
$('.media-boxes-load-more-button').trigger('click');
I hope this helps
Best, David
Thanks for responding. I’m not a javascript buff but i can make that work, thx!
One more question. Is there a way to hide the “all” button? If i leave the “all word” in the filter settings empty i just get an empty box that is still clickable. I want to remove the “all” filter completely. Cheers!
[data-filter="*"]{
display: none !important;
}
or like this:
.media-boxes-filter>li:first-child{
display: none !important;
}
I hope this helps
Perfect, works like a charm! Cheers!
