Essentials Grid for Portfolio Site

I want to setup a grid for my design portfolio that has a mix of html 5 animation, image and Vimeo vids. I would like a different skin for each one. How is this possible?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! I believe you’re looking for this one https://essential.themepunch.com/masonry-grid-hoover/

Hope this helps!

Thats pretty close to what I was looking for, though how do I format the click through page to be like the one in your example? I don’t need the sidebar with all the post links

Hello There,

Did you already have replicated it in your site? To make sure that you do not have a sidebar in your single blog posts links, please go to X > Theme Options > Layout &amp Design > Content Layout and select “Fullwidth”.

If ever you need to change or format the way you hover over the grid item, you might need to check out how to edit the grid skin. Please check this out: https://www.themepunch.com/essgrid-doc/item-skin-editor/

Hope this helps.

Hi, I already have full width selected. I want the click through page to formatted with the big image and desctiption below like here:

I was able to achieve that format when I was using “post, pages, custom posts” instead of “custom grid”

Now with custom grid, it seems to only format it one way. What should I do?

Hi There,

Could you please send us with one of your custom grids link so we can take a closer look.

Thank you.

Is this what you were asking for?

Also, for videos I want only the play icon to show. For images, only the mag glass should show. Presently, that is not the behavior. Right now mag glass and play icon show for images. For videos, it’s correct but not for images.

Hey There,

With custom grid, it displays the attachment image page. To make this page as fullwidth, please go to X > Theme Options > Layout & Design > Layout and set the “Content Layout” as Fullwidth.

For the icons, which one you are referring to? All I see is the play or the magnifying glass in the image.


The other one is displaying the play icon as it has a video attached to it. http://prntscr.com/j431rv
Please make sure that you have inserted the valid video embed code or it may result to an issue such as what is going on right now. Please check your grid items individually if necessary.

Please let us know how it goes.

content layout to full width works except the image is too small. The image needs to be full width as well. I need the layout to be in the example below… please look at this link and see how the image is displayed.

Regarding the icons. You shouldn’t see the play icon if the grid item is a video. If its an image, there should only be mag glass.

This is very tedious getting results this way. I post a questions, and then I don’t hear from anyone till the next day. I need to get this site up and at this rate, i’ll never be done. Is there someone I can speak to to help move things along?

Thanks.

Hi there,

For faster customization and development, I recommend contacting a developer for dedicated time. Turn around time in the forum depends on other threads ahead of yours and its complexity.

As for the icons, you can remove it from the skin builder, please provide more details and screenshot. I’m not sure what I should look for in your provided URL.

About this https://essential.themepunch.com/company-news/a-day-with-sunshine-bliss/, it’s not Essential Grid related since it’s a single page. It’s theme related and if you wish to make it full-width, then please add this CSS to your global custom CSS.

.single-x-portfolio .entry-featured {
    float: none;
    padding-right: 0;
    width: 100%;
}
.single-x-portfolio .entry-wrap {
    float: none;
    width: 100%;
}

Thanks!
