    I know this must be elementary, but how do you add images to a portfolio? I have added an image to two different test portfolio items and a featured image to both. When I display the portfolio page, all that is displayed is the portfolio item name, no image. I want to create a portfolio page similar to this.

    Instead, I get this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18576442/clarify/2014-07-13-22h25m/index.html

    I can not post a link as this is on localhost.

    Many thanks,

    Hi Houston,

    Thanks for writing in,

    Can you try activating ethos child theme, or if its already been activated, can you try activating another theme and reactive the child theme you want to use again.

    Hopefully, this would fix your issue.

    Cheers

    Wait, does this only work on Ethos? I am using ICON.

    Many thanks,

    Did you get the private message? Would really like to know why this is not working for me. I hope it is not something stupid I am doing. 🙁

    Many thanks,

    Hi Houston,

    You were using Icon child theme, but still using Integrity stack. Please set them properly at Admin > Customizer > Stack

    So it was something stupid. Sorry for wall the trouble.

    The more I use this theme the more I like it. Still so much to learn about it.

    Many thanks,

    LOL, OK, so I made the change so that the Stack actually matches the child theme (both set to icon), now the portfolio shows nothing. This is the most important part of the website and I cant even get it to work. Am I just a dope or what?

    Many thanks,
    Houston

    Now I have yet another issue. I wonder if it is related to the mismatched child-thmem and stack selection. For some reason, my “Who we are” page now has a sidebar and I can not get rid of it. Arghhhhh.

    What did I do now?

    Many thanks,
    Houston

    Hi Houston,

    #1. Upon checking your website it seems that you have made some CSS changes inside your child theme’s style.css file that is causing the portfolio items not to show (see: http://prntscr.com/43nflr). I checked by commenting out your custom CSS and the portfolio items were showing perfectly fine (please see: http://prntscr.com/43ngub).

    #2. The “Who We Are” page is having sidebar because it has set to “Default Template” while it should be set to Blank – No Container | Header, Footer (see: http://prntscr.com/43nd6s).

    Cheers 🙂

    I am sure I had a reason but at this time I have no idea why that css was in there. I have taken it out and it of course works. Just a few other questions.

    1. How do I control the size of the thumbnails on the portfolio?
    2. How do I make it link to an outside link instead of the default link which takes you to the actual portfolio page.
    3. This is the layout I am wanting. Can this be achieved with X? http://www.jbidigital.co.uk/our-work/
    Note the layover when you pass your cursor over the thumbnail. Also note the “Load More” button at the bottom. So can you include a portfolio inside a regular page?

    Many thanks,
    Houston

    In reference to the “Who we are” page, I changed the template to blank – No Container | Header, Footer and it works but why am I having to change that page to this when the rest are on default and have no sidebar?

    Many thanks,

    Hi Houston,

    1. There is no direct option to control thumbnail size, but just css. What size should it be?
    2. Add this code at your customizer’s custom javascript.

    jQuery(function($){$('.page-template-template-layout-portfolio-php article a').attr('target','_blank');});

    3. It’s possible with custom development, but we couldn’t help you as it have features that isn’t built-in to X.

    Default pages have container which limit the maximum width, while using No Container of course does not have and give you option to create your own container.

    Thanks!
