    Hey Guys,

    Did you update the theme and the shortcodes plugin? The recent release comes with Improved sidebar manager (blog index, portfolio index, shop index, and taxonomy archive pages all assignable).

    Please see http://theme.co/x/member/changelog/

    Thanks.

    Hello!

    Please do the following:

    1.) Go to Appearance > Sidebar > Add a new sidebar. Name it Shop for example.

    2.) After creating the sidebar, you’ll get a list of taxonomies for portfolio and woocommerce products. You’ll find the product categories at the bottom mostly. Select the product categories.

    3.) Go to Appearance > Widgets and add widgets on the Shop widget area.

    Okay, guess I just missed it. Thank you for your help.

    Now I only have I problem with Portfolio Parent, as it only displays “Default” even though I already have 2 portfolio layout pages. So the portfolio post breadcrumbs stands like these “HOME>>PAGE” missing the intermediary parent page.
    Anything I can do about it?

    Also, I can’t have the sidebar inside the portfolio page, can I? And I have a limiting 4 sidebars bug, if I add a fifth one it just replaces one of the old ones.

    Thank you so much, been working on this page for months now, great theme though…

    Hi Alex,

    Rather than using the Portfolio archive page, I’d recommend creating a new “Page” named portfolio. Then you can set it’s page template to “Layout – Portfolio” This will give you the sortable portfolio index.

    When editing that page, you’ll see a section called “Portfolio settings” By default it goes full width, but you can choose “Keep Sidebar”

    Heelo there.

    Okay, I finally found the bug.
    You can’t have a “Layout – Potfolio” page with another “Parent” page.
    So I had a “W” parent page, two (“X” and “Y”) portfolio layout page and their child “Z”.
    The final result should be HOME>>W>>X>>Z and HOME>>W>>Y>>Z.
    Now that i set it to “(no parent)” I have the right path (missing parent “W” of course)

    Anyway I can fix it?
    Thank you for your help

    Hi Alex,

    You don’t need a parent page to use the portfolio layout. It can be done on top level pages. You may need to modify your menu to link to the new portfolio page you created though.

    If I understand correctly, here’s what I would advise:

    1. Create 2 pages with no parent. (“X” and “Y”) Assign these page the “Layout – Portfolio” template

    2. Add these pages to your site’s menu

    3. Create several portfolio items from “Portfolio” in your dashboard. While editing these, you can assign them a parent. You should only see “X” and “Y” as options.

    Let us know how it goes!

    Hello,

    Yeah, that is exactly what I did.. I would like to have the option to have a parent page for my portfolios, so the link and breadcrumbs would be better organized… But no problem, it is working this way

    Thank you

    Hi there,

    You can find categories in ‘All taxonomies’ section.
