Hi, I bought the plugin today and it is almost everything I needed. I was just hoping you might be able to show me how to replicate the zoom effect when hovering over a thumbnail? I tried all of the overlay effects but none seem to be able to match what was shown in the example here:

http://preview.codecanyon.net/item/wp-media-boxes-portfolio-responsive-wordpress-grid-plugin/full_screen_preview/22881148?_ga=2.202323537.1730822910.1724927788-1201576261.1724925119

Hello,

Do you mean the zoom-effect on the “MASONRY GALLERY” example? If so, then yes, you just need this peace of CSS (you can add it in the CSS tab of your portfolio):

/* hover effect on the image */
@media_boxes .media-box-image img{
    -webkit-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
       -moz-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
         -o-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
        -ms-transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;
            transition: transform 0.6s ease-in-out;

    -webkit-transform-origin: bottom left;
       -moz-transform-origin: bottom left;
         -o-transform-origin: bottom left;
        -ms-transform-origin: bottom left;
            transform-origin: bottom left;
}
@media_boxes .media-box-image:hover img{
    -webkit-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
       -moz-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
         -o-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
        -ms-transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
            transform: scale(1.2) translate(-20px);
}
I hope this helps :D

Hi, that’s a massive help. Thank you providing this code.

I just had one other thing related to the same example above. I noticed that you were able to show the thumbs on large screen, but no thumbs on a mobile screen. I don’t suppose you have any other code snippets which may help me replicate this behaviour?

Currently, I only have the choice of picking between one or the other when using the plugin admin settings.

Thank you

Hello,
Yes, that’s the normal behavior of Fancybox, but you can force the display of the “thumbs” on mobile with this lines of CSS:

.fancyboxMB-show-thumbs .fancyboxMB-thumbs {
    display:block !important;
}

.fancyboxMB-toolbar .fancyboxMB-button--thumbs {
    display:inline-block !important;
}
Not sure how good it would look like though, but I hope it helps :)

Hello! I have installed on my website https://pedichiuramedicalaploiesti.ro/ this item, WP MEDIA BOXES, with licence number e69496e4-e4d9-44b8-9edd-b1f0d1907546, purchased in 2020-10-13. I don t remembre the account from witch was bought, but I use it and now I have a problem.

First of all, I understand tha the support period has expired, that s why I need to know if I can extend support period now so you cand help me.

Second, let me tell you what is the problem. In my gallery, i use many images and i need to sort them by specific criteria, such as NAME (title, name, etc), descendent. So I created a Test gallery, inserted many pictures with different names, including number namens and selected sort criteria Name Descendent. Well, nothing happened. The images with numbers are at the end of the gallery, ascendent. I select other criteria to sort, nothing happened. The are loaded as they are inserted in gallery, ascendent.

I need the new pictures to be first.

Please let me know if you cand help me, including the extended support. Thx

Hello,
Can you send me the link to the “Test” gallery that you created? so I can take a look at it

In order to renew support you would need access to the account where you originally purchase this plugin

Can you contact me via email here? https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact for better support

Best, David

Additionally, the account that you used to purchase the plugin is: Irinellaurentiu
I hope it helps :)

It will help, for sure. I’ll be back when I recover that account and extend support. Thank you.

Hi Support, just bought the media boxes plugin and I want to style it. However, whatever css I try to write does not work because all the core ones are marked as !important. How do I rectify this ? Even if I put it in the css box given.

Thank you!

Hello,
Do you mean a style an element that is not found in the Skin Editor? If so, can you send me an example of a CSS rule you wish to apply?

You can contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact (for better support)

Best, David

Hi Support, I figured the issue. It was because WP strips html tags. I do have another issue which i will email, thanks

Hello,
Here’s a little video that may help: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/9.mov

the video shown how to add a youtube video on a CUSTOM MEDIA GALLERY but it is the same process on a “CUSTOM POST TYPE” just look for the media boxes meta data when you edit a single post

Let me know if this makes sense

Best, David

hi Currently, I am working on an website using WordPress and I have my own portfolio. I want clients to visit my site and filter my work using multiple options. Can I do this with your plugin? The following link provides an example of what I want to achieve. https://www.intermedasia.com/our-work/ thank you

Hello,
Yes, it is possible, here’s an example: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-mediaboxes/multiple-filters/

Best :)

Has anything changed recently that would stop the videos from loading? I haven’t changed anything on my page, but the videos stopped loading? Curious if its the latest wordpress or Divi update?

Hello,
I just checked the HTML, and it is not correctly formed, which is very strange.

Any chance you added recently a new item to the portfolio/gallery?

I’m suspecting that the content of an item has some HTML that is causing the plugin to break

what do you think?

Hmmmm good question :) I am including the items as posts each with an embed code from youtube. I’ll take a look for inconsistencies – thanks!

Let me know if you found the problem :)

Hi, I bought the plugin some time ago but after installation and activation I get this error at the top of the page

/* Error on https://diginoisestudio.it/wp-content/plugins/Archivio/plugin/components/Font%20Awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=1.5.5 : Something went wrong: cURL error 52: Empty reply from server / / Error on https://diginoisestudio.it/wp-content/plugins/Archivio/plugin/components/Magnific%20Popup/magnific-popup.css?ver=1.5.5 : Something went wrong: cURL error 52: Empty reply from server */

i have Wordpress: 6.6.1 and I use Elementor Free version

Hello,
Very strange, but the plugin is active? or your are not able to upload or install?

Please contact me via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact for better support :)

Wonderful plugin David and Castleplugin team. I have sent you a DM inquiry regarding installation. Thanks, HM

Thank you :)
I sent you a reply

Hello, we’ve created a custom media gallery with filters. The filters work fine in the main language, but when we use the filters in other languages, no images appear.

We use wpml to translate the pages.

Can you help? thanks

Hello,
When using the custom media gallery, the plugin uses the filter names as CSS classes internally in the HTML, so if there’s a strange character it may have some issues, can you show me a living example online? so I can take a look?

Hello, There might be a bug with lightboxes. I get 3 times the featured image of each post (I have to click 2 times the next arrow to get the next media). Here’s the example : https://co-homing.net/_test/ I already use this plugin “Responsive Lightbox & Gallery” but disabling it doesn’t affect the issue in any way. Can you give it a look please ? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I see the issue, you currently have 3 elements that trigger the popup:
1) the image
2) The “view” button
3) And the title
As shown here: https://imgur.com/a/tBmvmUC

And the plugin thinks they are different, I would suggest to remove the ones from the “view” button and the title, (in the skin editor)

Let me know if this makes sense :)

Hello, Alright, I get how this works. I disabled the trigger on the button and the title and now images are correctly displayed once in the lightbox. Thanks for the help !

That’s great :)

Hi! I suddenly noticed, that my thumbnails are all broken: all I see is a grid of read squares with broken file icon on them. When I click it, the original image pops up just fine.

Hi! We took the page as draft since it’s broken, but it’s temporarily online now: https://valonia.fi/materiaali/kestavan-liikkumisen-ratkaisupaletti/

The point is to show cards that can be filtered, and when you click the image, you can see the large version.

Actually I now found out, that the image title seems to be the problem. For accessibility matters we’d hope that one could download PDF version of the image by clicking the caption. Therefore, the title in image data was: <’‘a href=’https://www.valonia.fi/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Kylätie.pdf'"target=_blank">Kylätie (lataa PDF)’’>

—> but this overruns the whole card for some reason. When I took it away, the image is visible again. Where should i put the link to PDF instead?

Hello,
I would need to see exactly where and how you are placing the link, any chance you could show me an example of this?

Please contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact for better support :)

Also don’t forget to renew your support period, since it has expired :)

Is it possible to disable “all” filter and start with the contents of a filter of my choice instead?

Hello,
Yes, it is possible :)

Hi there!

I am using your plugin with the Divi theme, and was hoping to use your shortcode inside a Divi accordion. In editing mode I am able to see the portfolio inside the accordion module, but as soon as I “view page” and open the accordion the videos do not load. I did discover if I then resize the page or click on a filter button then the videos will load inside the accordion. Hoping to get some help in having the videos load immediately.

Thanks for your help!

Hello,
Ohh, I think it is probably because the according where the gallery is is hidden by default, so when the plugin loads it doesn’t know the dimensions (since it is hidden), it probably requires a refresh when you click on the according

Can you show me a living example online? so I can take a look and see what’s going on

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

Best, David

Hello, hope you are good :)

1) Can I have a multi filter as buttons (Multi clickable buttons) and not window cascade?

2) I have more than 500 photos to filter, how can I insert each category or tag to each photo? Can you explain this to me in detail? It’s very important to me.

3) I can try before buy ?

Thank you so much

Hello,
1) At the moment we only have 3 options: Buttons: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/mediaboxes/example/pinterest_style.html
Dropdowns: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/mediaboxes/example/multiple_filters.html
Checkboxes: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/mediaboxes/example/multiple_filters_checkboxes.html

2) Here are some video tutorials so you can see how it works: https://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-mediaboxes/documentation/#videotutorials

3) Unfortunately I don’t have a DEMO version, but hopefully the videos help you decide :)

Best, David

Hi, I’m using the plugin on my site, it’s great but I’m having some small issues and was wondering if there is a solution. I have taken screenshots of the problems so you can understand better. Can I send them to you somehow?

Hello Please contact me privately via email here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castleplugins#contact :)

Best, David

Hi! I really like the plugin and use it myself as well as recommend it to clients. I know you don’t help with customization but can you answer if it is possible to add a download button to the skin that forces download?

If you think this is possible, do I have to edit the original files or can it be done in the plugin menu somewhere?

Kindly Marcus Stenberg

Hi Marcus,
It may be possible, but is not that simple, indeed it requires modifying the original files, if you know PHP it may be possible for you to make the customization, I could provide you some guidance of the files you could modify :)

Best Regards,
David

Hello, I had two pre-purchase questions:

- Is it possible for someone to select several filters at once WITHOUT using the multifilter option? For instance if I have green, blue, red and yellow as filters, could I select BOTH green and blue at the same time?

- How do the filters behave on mobile? Is there some kind of hamburger or dropdown when you have several filters? And is it possible for that to stay sticky at the top? I tried to see this on the live preview but keep getting an error message when I try opening the link.

Thank you!

Oh, one more question – is it possible to add a “View More” button at the bottom to load more gallery items? For instance, I just want to show maybe 8 at a time, and then have a load more button to show the rest.

Hello,
1) Unfortunately that is not possible, another alternative is checkboxes, like this example:
http://www.castlecodeweb.com/mediaboxes/example/multiple_filters_checkboxes.html#

2) The dropdown menu doesn’t have a sticky option, you can try opening this link on mobile: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/wp-mediaboxes/multiple-filters/ so you can check it out

3) Yes this is possible, by default the plugin has the “Lazy Load” feature activate it (which means that the plugin automatically loads more images when you reach the bottom of the gallery), but you can turn it off, and have a “View More” button instead
Also you can choose how many items you want to load at the beginning and how many items you want the “View More” button to load

I hope this makes sense :)

To be able to filter by tags How does it work? I don’t see the option

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Are you using posts? If so, does your posts already have tags attached to them?

Best, David

Hi, so Im able to add links to the images. But is it possible to make the titles links to the posts that are under the images?

I still have not gotten a response about this…can we add links to the Titles of posts??

Hello,
I sent you an email :)

I would like to know if it is possible to filter by tags

Hello,
Yes it is possible, just like categories you can use your post tags :)

Best, David
