Hi,
I’ve spent hours searching and looking for how to make a decent looking portfolio item, no luck yet. I would like the portfolio items to work just like gallery/slide in the demo http://demo.theme.co/integrity-3/portfolio-item/riomaggiore/, but no matter what I try, it doesn’t turn out right.

How did you achieve the gallery in the demo??

I don’t know what you have set up now but it looks like they are using the portfolio page template setting then in cornerstone have it set to a two column layout. Then to make the page a bit more full they have a few widgets on the right side of the screen which are added with the customizer.

If you’re talking more bout the colors of the items themselves I believe you will need a bit of custom css and the support here will most likely help you with all of that!

Hope some of this helped and good luck!

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, I’ve followed all the steps for how to create a portfolio and then the gallery, but it doesn’t turn out like your demo. What am I missing, is there a secret to making it look/function that way?

[ApexCreative]

I’m noticing on my portfolio item posts, there is no WP option for post format. Could that possibly be causing the issue?

Hi there,

Thanks for the credentials. It seems you are using an older version of X. Would you kindly update this first and check again?

Cheers!

Theme is updated, still not working

Hello There,

I am another staff checking on this thread! I went ahead and checked your site. It turns out that you have selected “Icon” stack and you wanted to have a portfolio item which is using Integrity. This would not be possible. You have to change the stack the same as what you wanted.

I did edit you page and added some stuff in there. It now resembles like this page: http://demo.theme.co/icon-2/portfolio-item/sierra-farm/ because you are using Icon stack. I also noticed that though you have a feature image, it is not showing because you have a custom css code that hides the featured image. I would recommend that you removed the code if you want to display the featured image.

.single-x-portfolio .entry-featured {
    display: none;
}

Please keep in mind that you CANNOT mixed up the stack layout like icon stack on the homepage and integrity in your portfolio item. That is absolutely not possible. I would recommend that you switch stacks instead.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help.

That is very unfortunate (about the stacks); I initially purchased X because it was touted as being very flexible.

The portfolio isn’t quite what I had in mind. All we wanted to do was have 1. Portfolio page with clickable thumbnails, which would 2. take the user to the portfolio item page, where the gallery slides were at the top with info at the bottom. I’m not sure why this is so hard to do, many other themes I’ve used does exactly this, I just liked X’s style.

Hi,

To make your portfolio items clickable, you need to select image media type gallery for your portfolio.

Then you can use the slider element in cornerstone to display your gallery slides.

You also need to add this code back to remove your featured image and just show your image slider in your portfolio page.

.single-x-portfolio .entry-featured {
    display: none;
}

Hope that makes sense.

Hi There,

You can do that by setting up a standard portfolio post and using the [x_slider] shortcode to create your image gallery. See this page http://nadenengineering.com/work/testing-3/

Hope it helps, Cheers!

[ApexCreative]

That’s what I was looking for, thanks! You may want to consider letting all the stacks have the same functionality, but that’s just my opinion as a user. Thanks again for the quick responses

You are most welcome. 🙂
