Hello,

I’m currently establishing my online portfolio at http://www.joseramos.com . My website will have a large number of photos (about 180) and I’ve divided them in categories. To avoid slow loading times, which would naturally happen if one tried to open a portfolio page with 180 thumbnails, I activated pagination. Unfortunately, there are two problems with this:

1- When I select a different category, it will only show me the photos belonging to the chosen category which are currently visible on the chosen sub-page, instead of loading all portfolio images related with the chosen category.

2- When choosing a certain category, and clicking to change the sub-page, I’m directed to the archive page.

How can I fix this? Is there either a solution to have a quick loading portfolio without pagination, or how can I correct the issue specified above?

Thank you

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in.

Currently, it will only filter the items on current page. Paging does not work per category, but by entire posts. It’s limitation of masonry and posts. Masonry is controlled by javascript, and paging is by php(server). Javascript works on browser, so in order to filter them all, they have to be rendered on browser first.

Custom javascript paging is possible, but still, the items are needed to be loaded on browser to make the paging possible. Paging is based on total count.

I already added this as feature request from previous threads, but there is no ETA yet.

#2 , would you mind providing your admin login credentials? I like to check too.

Portfolio looks nicer without paging. You could use CDN hosting to host your images and make it much faster. Check this https://theme.co/x/member/kb/performance/ 🙂

Hey there,

We didn’t experience the issue. Can you give us a quick screencast of what your experiencing on your end?

Thanks.

Go to http://www.joseramos.com/portfolio . Then select the category “Madeira”. As there isn’t any Madeira photo on page 1 of the portfolio, no photo will appear. Then click on page 2, and it will lead you to the photo archive…

As I previously told I would like to solve it in one of two ways:

1) When I click in “Madeira”, for example, it loads all “Madeira” images and shows them, instead of it’s current behavior

or

2) I deactivate the pagination photo, as long as there is a ways to achieve a quickly loading portfolio page with 180 thumbnails.

Hi there,

Thank you for writing in!

#1: As we’ve mentioned above that filtering is only possible within the current page at the moment, so if you’re having total 100 items but only 24 on the portfolio page are being shown, it will only filter items from those 24 items. There isn’t any workaround for this currently but we have considered it as a featured request and already added to our list of potential features, though there isn’t an ETA yet.

#2: As mentioned above, you could use using CDN hosting to host your images, to make it much faster. To do so, please review our KB article on Performance.

Thanks!

I doubt my hosting will provide CDN.

Is there a way for the thumbnail images download only when you scroll down, like it usually happens with infinity scrolling pages in photographic communities?

Hi there,

You may try 3rd party plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-images-lazy-loading/ (Lazy loading). Which will only load images when it’s scrolled to its viewport.

Cheers!
