Hello,

1. I have a filter for the categories above my Essential Grid showing my portfolio of design work on the above page. I would like to style the filter text and edit the spacing of each category, add a hover colour etc. I cannot find this on the plugin functions or on the support articles. This is because the filter categories text style clashes with the navigation menu right above it. I quite like this style below but without the ‘filter bar’, not sure if possible with Essential Grid: http://demo.theme.co/agency/case-studies/

2. I’m also wondering if it’s possible to have the square grid symbol button as on this page and the previous and next arrows on my individual portfolio item page: http://6dd.949.myftpupload.com/portfolio-item/petroa/

So that it looks like this one: http://demo.theme.co/agency/portfolio-item/case-study-4/

3. I’m also experiencing a very slow loading time for the Essential Grid on the home page and a somewhat slow loading on the Portfolio page.

Thanks, Cat

Hello Cat,

1.) Try this custom CSS to customize FILTER buttons:

.portfoliopreview .esg-filterbutton {
    font-weight: 200;
    padding: 5px;
    margin-right: 0;
    color: rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
}
.portfoliopreview .esg-filterbutton:after {
    content: '/';
    margin: 0 0 0 11px;
}
.portfoliopreview .esg-filterbutton:hover:after {
    color: rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
}

2.) This is possible with customization that is outside the scope of our support. You may wish to consult a developer to achieve this. Thank you for understanding.

3.) See this link for Essential GRID optimization: https://www.themepunch.com/faq/frontend-grid-loading-optimization-options/

Hope this helps.

Hello, thanks for your support.

1. I have inputted your CSS supplied and tried to save the file, however it goes to a blank page that says only: Are you sure you want to do this? [nothing else on the page so I cannot tell it ‘yes’ in any way].

2. Are you sure I cannot achieve this portfolio item navigation, it is there advertised as part of the X theme demo:
http://demo.theme.co/agency/portfolio-item/case-study-4/

3. Thanks I will look into this, it seems to be the solution already.

Hey There,

Kindly walk-through the product validation tutorial to validate/ activate your Purchase code first.

https://community.theme.co/kb/product-validation/

Hope it helps.

[CatDouglasParticipant]

Hello, I have already done that – there is an issue in that it will not validate and say it is completed. I do not get the message: congratulations, your site is now validated.

Also I am getting ‘are you sure you want to do that’ for other actions as well, when I try to save changes to Ess. Grid I get ‘wrong request!’. When I try to upload a feature image, it just doesn’t happen. Does this mean a site-wide issue?

Please see the message above regarding the original thread topic from 8.47am.
Thank you,
Cat

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in!

I was able to validate X in your site. It is now validated.

#1] Where did you added the css? Please add the code in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Custom > Edit Global CSS instead.

#2] You are using Renew stack and Agency demo is using Ethos stack. Please be advised that each stacks has a unique features that may not be present in the other stack. Regretfully you can have the features of Ethos added in Renew. In short, there is no way you can mix the stack.

#3] You have added the iOS icon and the MS tile icon. You have forgotten to insert the default favicon.

Hope this helps.

Hello Rue,

Thank you for validating it for me, I’m not sure why it wasn’t working – would that be the cause of being unable to make any changes and save them on the site?

1. I’ve inserted the css into the place you outline, I get this message:
Cheating, are we? Sorry, you are not allowed to customise this site.

2. Thank you for clarifying, I guess I will have to leave this one.

3. Thanks also, I’ll get that sorted.

One more important thing, editing the site is frustratingly slow to load in the WP backend, is this something I should contact my hosting provider about? I just made a change and I got this error message ‘Are you sure you want to do this?
Please try again.’ This is a road block to editing and correcting my site.

Hi There,

Would mind adding this in your wp-config.php located at the root directory of your site.

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );

You can add it before the line

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Let us know how it goes.

This error messages usually appear when the user is logged out, in case they appear, save the code you have created and refresh the page , insert the code and save again.

Hope it helps

Hello Joao,

Thanks, so how do I access the Wp config file, I have a managed WordPress hosting with GoDaddy.
A developer just told me that if I edit the wp config file, I should back it up or things could go very wrong – is this true?
