    Hi,

    I want to create a page of logo’s, and when clicked, link to products in my shop which have been tagged with that brand.

    Please see this page: http://dev.theaudiobarn.co.uk/brands/

    So in this example, click on ‘Audio Note’ and you get taken to a page of products tagged with the attribute ‘Audio Note’.

    I have tried using a box grid and now a promo box but cannot get this desired effect.

    Please can you help.

    Many thanks,

    Bryan

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in.

    What’s your product tag link? Your brand’s page has static image and texts and no links. I’m not really sure what you’re trying to achieve, but you may want to try Essential Grid 🙂

    If it’s just about static linking, then this is just okay,

    Thanks!

    OK I am getting somewhere with this now.

    The only remaining issue – and I have read the forum and cant find a working solution that I can understand – is to make the promo image clickable like the text below it.

    So please visit my page here: http://dev.theaudiobarn.co.uk/brands/

    And if you look at the attached screenshot, I want the Audio Note Logo to link the same as the text below it.

    Many thanks,

    Hi there,

    The best for that is using Essential Grid, you may check it here https://community.theme.co/kb/integrated-plugins-essential-grid/

    What you’re currently doing is static, and you’ll have to manually add each image, link text, and so on. With Essential grid, you can just modify single skin and use it for all items, then link them to their tag URLs.

    It may hard to understand on the first trial, but it’s worth it 🙂

    Thanks!

    OK, I shall persevere with this.

    Currently there is a fault as I get ’empty ajax response’ error and no skins are available.

    Assuming I get this working, are you saying that I can have an image which is set within the grid, link to all my products that have been tagged?

    So you would click on image ‘A’ and it would generate a search result populated by all items with the TAG ‘Brand A’

    Something like, http://dev.theaudiobarn.co.uk/product-tag/Brand A/

    Thanks,

    Bryan

    Hi Bryan,

    That means your Essential Grid isn’t installed properly. Please check this https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/essential-grid-has-no-skin-options/

    Yes, you’ll have to manually add an item with image and link to product tags. You can manipulate that through EG skin layers. You don’t have to create static or manually compose the layout.

    Example, let’s say you already created a skin with image cover, then link the entire item to a meta (eg. product_tag_url ). Then what you just need it just an item, set an image, and set product_tag_url value.

    Thanks!

    Hi Rad,

    I have read all the threads on problems getting Essential Grid working, and have had my hosting provider run the script hat you linked to in dropbox. Additionally I have purchased a test domain and moved the website there so that is no longer a sub domain but a main domain installation etc. BUT STILL the same problem…’no ajax response’ and no skins.

    I need for you to look at this in more detail please.

    Can I supply my ftp details for you? Control panel etc.

    Thanks,

    Bryan

    Hello Bryan,

    Thank you for the credentials.
    Upon checking, they have successfully run the SQL file but you do have different table prefix. They should have edited the SQL file and match the table prefix to your own. See attached screenshot. By default, wordpress table prefix is wp_ that’s what it is on the SQL file. Since it’s different on your database, it is wpkc_ they should update the SQL file before running it on your database.

    Hey Bryan,

    Thank you for the updates! Please always keep in mind that when adding a link, you will need to add the http:// or https:// in your link. This is why you were having the issue. You should be using this url as your link: http://www.theaudiobarndev.co.uk/product-tag/naim

    Hope this make sense. Please let us know how it goes.
