Is there a way to share images in a gallery via email instead of to a social media link/account?
No, it’s not possible.
Hello,
One of the thumbnails is not uploading on the site on the “extra items” section.
Any suggestions? When I inspected with firebug I can see that it’s not uploading on that specific
Thank you,
Hello, do you mean it is not uploading in WP admin?
Hi,
I have installed your plugin, see the link below http://nieuw.joneswonen.nl/project/But it’s not working 
Rick
hi! Have you added a least few Item in Colio -> Items? Then, have you created portfolio in Colio -> Settings and placed shortcode to the page?
Yep, i have created to items and made a portfolio “afgeronde projecten” -> I created the page projects and insert the shortcode [colio id=”afgronde_projecten”]
Did you had a change to look into this?
Yes! I checked and for some reason portfolio has no items. Do you use Colio -> Groups to create groups of items? If you don’t use groups, then I should ask you to provide me with WP admin access. You can send me credentials via my profile mail form on Codecanyon. Thanks!
Can I use Colio to let each author of my blog to have their own portfolio on their profile?
Plugin is available only to admins, not authors.
Pre-purchase question: Hi there, is there a way to link the ‘view project’ to a separate page, rather than a section within the same page?
Hi! To make this possible you should set publicly_queryable to true in wp-content/plugins/colio/includes/post.php for colio_item post type. Then in colio.php file remove colio-link class from “View Project” button and set href to get_permalink($post->ID) result (this is in function “colio_get_item_html”)
Thanks, I do not know PHP but I will try my best to customize this. How do I set where each portfolio item will link to? Thanks!
’ . get_the_title() . ‘
’ . ‘’ . $excerpt . ‘
’ .Please send me the code that you’ve changed via mail form on my profile page. Comments on codecanyon block certain symbols and you cannot insert them properly..
I didn’t change any code because I couldn’t figure out what to change. I was hoping you could change it and send me the snippet and tell me where to paste it? I don’t know PHP ;( The code I pasted in was just the code from colio.php (untouched) Was hoping you could edit and paste back.
Hi! Please send me your WP admin credentials using mail form on my profile page and I will change this in file.
Thank you, I have emailed you as requested. Please let me know if the changes you make will be lost during plugin updates?
yes, they will be lost
Thank you so very much for your help. Is there a way to know what the changes are you made? (which lines in what files and what was edited?) That way I can ensure the changes are always in place, even with plugin updates. I want to be sure my site is as secure as possible. Cheers!
Not sure about line number as I did this in WP admin in Editor. But I made the changes in wp-content/plugins/colio/colio.php in function that is called “colio_get_item_html()” and the lines are
'<a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '">' .
get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, $thumb_size) .
'</a>' .
where before it was just this
get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, $thumb_size) .
Also at the end of colio.css in same directory I added this
/* custom */
.colio-view .colio-thumb a {
display:block;
}
.colio-view {
display: none;
}
Thank you very much! Is it also possible to link the H4 title to the same page as the image? Thanks 
Any chance I might hear back on this soon? Thanks!
Yes, just like you have wrapped image (get_the_post_thumbnail()) into the link with get_permalink() href, it’s possible to wrap H4 or anything else to make it a link.
Thank you very much, I have figured it out 
No problem!
Hi
How to remove the border from the thumbnail picture?
Hello! Option in portfolio settings is called “Item Padding”. Uncheck it to remove borders
Hello,
I would like to know if I can have the whole section of “extra photos” when you click “view project” full of photos, instead of having just rows of 3 pictures.
Thank you,
Hello, you can add as many “extra photos” to portfolio item as you like.
Hey guys, is there a possibility to add a simple star rating for each portfolio item? It would also be great to use the rating for a filter (best rated first and vice versa). Using an additional plugin would be fine integrating the star rating via shortcode would be perfect. Any advises???
Hello, basically it’s possible. My plugin has WP filters to modify html output. So you can add whatever you want to portfolio items.
Cool. So do you recommend a rating plugin to use with your plugin?
I don’t recommend anything. I only say that it’s possible to customize my plugin – either in code or using few available filters to modify output. However you should have necessary skills in PHP and WP and probably JS.
I have difficulties to implement a rating, comment section, social sharing for each portfolio item. What about adressing a portfolio item via a URL? How can I configure you plugin to have a dedicated page per item?
Its not possible to configure this. You should modify code.
Hey guys, I bought the plugin a few months back and it has been working fine. I just have moved to a new theme and your plugin causes an annoying loading symbol on the website whenever i click on any pages other than the homepage.
Can you please advise how to disable this? If I turn off your plugin it is fine so it has to be causing the issue. http://www.discoveryfinance.net.au/
Hello!
I checked your site. Clicked through pages but haven’t seen “annoying loading symbol”.. could you please explain more precisely how to reproduce this problem.
Hi there -
Here’s a link for reference: http://test.concreteinteriors.com/portfolio/
Two questions: 1) How do I center the tags/filters. Right now, they are left justified I want them centered.
2) When I click on “View Project” my filters/tags at the top of the page disappear. Can you tell me how to fix this?
Hi!
1. To center filters add this style to the end of wp-content/plugins/colio/grid.css
.colio-filters {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.colio-filters > li {
float: none!important;
display: inline-block;
}
2. The easiest way to prevent filters from hiding is to add this style to the same grid.css
.colio-filters {
opacity: 1!important;
visibility: visible!important;
}
Hi, I have another question.
I have added a search plugin into the site so that people can search for portfolios.
The search works as planned and finds the details within the portfolio and gives a link to click on, e.g:
http://www.mascari.co.uk/colio/dean-h/However, when the link is clicked on it return an ‘oops, page not found’ message.
Why does it not bring up the item?
Many thanks.
Sorry, it does now appear to work.. not entirely sure what happened.
However, once the link is clicked on, it does not show the additional photos.
Can you advise why?
Thanks
Hello, the reason is that Colio Items supposed to display only in portfolio viewport, not as standalone posts directly.
OK thanks.
As I will need the search function many people will be taken to the standalone page by clicking on the results.
Is there a way to incorporate the addition photos in the stand alone page?
Thanks
If you have WP developer then it’s possible.
What is WP developer?
A guy who will do php coding for you )
Is this not something you could help me with?
I wouldn’t have a clue where to go about things. Surely it would be a great feature to the portfolio?
Sorry, I don’t have time for custom work right now!
Hi,
The plugin was installed correctly, but it doesn’t work in my theme. I read the whole tutorial and did every single thing the way is was supposed to be doned, but when I place the shortcode in the page I want it to be displayed, nothing happens… please help me…
Hi! Have you added portfolio items in Colio -> Items? I can have a look, but you should provide me credentials to your WP install. You can send them via mail form on my profile page and I will check our questions as soon as possible. Thanks!
.
Problem open item:
the div class colio-placement-inside no good position image 1.
Move scroll the div position ok, image 2
Why?
url view effect http://gentbcn.org/expos2015/
You have menu “div#navegador.menu-fijo” that changes its height from 0px to 95px when page is being scrolled. And it pushes content down, causing this issue with Colio. I recommend you to either fix your menu or change Colio viewport placement to “before” or “after”.
Thank you for a wonderful plugin. Have used it for nearly a year and did exactly what I want. However, recently I removed one of the items (set it as “draft”) and that somehow broke the grid layout. The columns are spread too wide apart and have no idea what I did to break it.
My website is http://www.twelve31media.com and the plugin is used under “Select Work.” I’m using version 1.5.
Please help! Thanks in advance.
Disregard my message. I’ve managed to fix it. Many thanks for a great plugin!
Ok. Great!
Hi..love the portfolio. The multiple portfolio pages make it the perfect choice for my
Just a few simple questions for you:
1 – Is there a way to remove the ticks above the filters and thumbs etc? http://www.mascari.co.uk/east-midlands/ I have read through all these comments and noticed there are a couple of people that mentioned they had bullets above images – I have tried adding the code you said but that didn’t fix the problem.
2 – I am building a growing list of installers and photos. Does the image size matter too much? By that I mean there will eventually be, say, 100 installers per portfolio with 3 images and a thumb each. Will this take forever to load? Or are the extra images loaded once they are clicked on?
3 – On your demo, once you open an individual portfolio, the description is on the left and the photos on the right. Mine is the other way around. How do I do this?
4 – Can I change the colour of the filter buttons?
5 – I guess the answer to this will be too long, however… Can I create some boxes to fill in when I start a new item that ask: - Installer name - Locations (These will show the filters) - Telephone - Web address
Many thanks for your help.
Hello!
1. to fix there check signs you should add next style to /wp-content/plugins/colio/grid.css
.colio-wrap li:before {
content:''!important;
font: 0/0 a;
}
2. Initially only thumbs are loaded. But when you click, a bigger image is loaded.
3. Every portfolio item has “Extra Photos” section. If you have at least one extra image, Colio viewport will get sidebar where this photo will be displayed. You also can select how you would like to display extra photos – as feed or as slider.
4. Yes, but in css file. In /wp-content/plugins/colio/grid.css look for style ”.colio-wrap .colio-filters a {}”
5. These custom boxes can be added as “Custom Fields” to the “colio_item” post type. File that you may want to look in is includes/post.php in plugin folder.
Many thanks for your prompt reply, that’s solved everything.
Great! 
Successfully moved the item name on to the thumbnail in place of the button, but the hover overlay disappears when the mouse is over the title. How can I have the overlay be on anytime the mouse is over the thumb or the title? And can we change it to a thumb pointer?
Thanks to your great feedback I got this far!
http://audreybeaulacstyle.com/staging/services/Hello!
In wp-content/plugins/colio/grid.css file find this line
.colio-thumb:hover .colio-view {
and replace with this
.colio-item:hover .colio-view {
also add this style to show hand pointer “cursor: pointer;”
Thank you! However, after click it’s highlighting the title in the thumb and you can’t read it. Any way to disable that and then have the thumb overlay showing on whenever the expanded content window is selected? So if I use the arrow keys in the expanded window, the thumb overlay changes to match the content that thumb is associated with? Hope that make sense.
To change highlighting color you should replace #eee with any other color in this style in grid.css
.colio-active-item .colio-summary h4 a {
background-color: #eee;
box-shadow: -5px 0 0 0 #eee, 5px 0 0 0 #eee;
text-decoration: none!important;
}
Ok, that works but is there a way to just keep it looking like it does when I mouse over it? with just the overlay and white text?
Ok, bigger problem. It’s broken the sticky navigation (nav bar stays fixed at top) and now scrolls away. In addition it’s broken the slide navigation in mobile. Any ideas what’s causing the conflict?
I’m guessing a javascript conflict. Now I see it’s disabling NextGen galleries from working on another page and oddly overriding or preventing some image styling in mobile view as well as disabling the slide nav in mobile. All is fixed when I disable Colio. I really need this plugin, would love to get it all working. Thanks for your help!
I will check mobile nav and update you in a minute.
Ok. Problem with mobile nav seems is not related to my plugin. See what I found in JS console
[Error] TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating 'jQuery(window).smartresize(function(){
gridResize();
setHomeSlideshowHeight();
centerFlexCaption();
if(!isMobile()){
initStickyNav();
}
})')
(anonymous function) (theme_trust.js, line 206)
j (jquery.js, line 2)
fireWith (jquery.js, line 2)
ready (jquery.js, line 2)
J (jquery.js, line 2)
Thanks, I’ll look into that. What about the main stickynav not working, next-gen, and mobile image styling not working?
As you can see from my previous reply the problem is not caused by my plugin’s code. It is caused by code from theme_trust.js, line 206. So fix that first and then if you will need any help you can contact me again. Thanks!
I was able to get everything fixed. Thanks! I just have a few further questions within Colio itself.
1. I can only activate the expanded window when i click on the button/text within the thumbnail and I’d like to be able to click anywhere on the thumbnail or text/button within the thumbnail. I’d also like the overlay to remain while that expanded window is activated. The overlay comes when the thumb is hovered, but I have to click the text, otherwise it won’t work. Bad ux. Is this possible?
2. Images within the expanded window in mobile are stretching horribly. I’ve removed any width/height specifications but it’s not working. I’m using theme installed column shortcode that works well everywhere else. Could this be the issue?
3. I’m unable to find a way to add padding to the thumbnails when they are stacked in mobile view. Currently they butt up to each other and it doesn’t look good.
Thanks again for your stellar support. Much appreciated!

I seem have lost your email. So my apologies for late reply. Please find answers below:
1. To make any element inside <li> (portfolio item) open viewport, you should assign “colio-link” class to that element. You can do this in colio.php in plugin directory. For example find div with “colio-inner” class and add additionally”colio-link” class.
2. Every open item has class colio-active-item so you can use it to style open portfolio items.
3. Regarding images. Not sure what to suggest. Try to make images responsive by assigning “width:100%!important” style. Also you may add some padding/margin to make them look better.
4.in wp-content/plugins/colio/grid.css there are media queries. Find the one for mobile size and add something like this
.colio-list > li {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
Unfortunately I cannot test this, as your site runs some JS code that slows Web Inspector dramatically. Try to optimize any setInterval/setTimeout function that you may be using ..
Hi there I’m very frustrated. The plugin is installed, but when I try to config the settings tab, any click is working.
Hi! Hmm. Could you send me login credentials to your WP install? You can use mail form on my profile page. Thanks!
Hi,
http://www.ssp-worldwide.com/marketplace-news/insurers-products/I have an issue with the filter tags. I have bullets appearing, how would i remove them?
Thanks Sam
Hi Sam! You should add somewhere this style
.colio-list, .colio-list > li {
list-style: none!important;
}
You can add this to the end of wp-content/plugins/colio/grid.css file
Hi, I just bought the plugin yesterday, very nicely done but needs an update! The media manager you are using is the old version – When are you planning to release WP 4.1 compatible version?
Also in the Extra photos there is no option to mass upload images, I have 100 projects x 10-20 images each – i cannot imagine putting them one by one.
Your input on the above will be appreciated. Thanks
It would be also nice to have the option to autostart the slideshow
Hi! Thanks for your suggestions! I will add these features in v1.6 (I already put them in “to-do” list). However, currently I’m working on another plugin that I will finish in few weeks. So version 1.6 I think will be released in a month or so.
great to hear that you will include my suggestions – having to wait a month for a plugin that i purchased to work properly is not good news. I think everybody will appreciate an update the fastest possible. Cheers 
Hi! I will do my best to start working on Colio WP as soon as possible
