No, I am talking about the “feature image” that you have to add when adding a new portfolio item in order for the item to show up in portfolio grid view or masonry view. I have my portfolio grid on my page set to open the items in a lightbox. I add each item in Portfolio Items as below:

As you can see the image I have in the “post” is different to the one I have in the featured image box. The featured image shows in my portfolio grid as it should, but when I open it up in lightbox, I would have expected the image in the “post” area would be the one that shows, but it is the “featured image” that shows. Is this what it is supposed to do? Or should I be posting my portfolio items differently for the lightbox view?
Thankyou!

Thanks Yigit, this is what I have done, but it still does not seem to work!

PERFECT! Thankyou :) (resolved) :)

Actually, perhaps you could assist me with my solution. I have instead, set each category up in a different portfolio on separate pages. I have then added a widget area in the advanced layout builder, and added a custom menu to this widget area, allowing the user to click between each category almost as they could before with the sorter, just doesn’t look quite as nice ;)
I made some tweaks to the css so that it would display how I wanted it to, (see below), but my remaining challenges are:
1: the “currently active” menu item drops down so that it is no longer in line with the rest – how do I fix this?
2: this menu does not work for smaller mobile devices, it just disappears off the page. I don’t think its necessary to show it at all on smaller devices, instead they could just view the entire portfolio – so how do I make it disappear for the smaller mobile size?

These are the changes I have made so far to css for menu…

/*CHANGES TO PORTFOLIO-SORTING MENU WIDGET*/

#top .widget_nav_menu ul {
    display: -webkit-inline-box;
    font-size: 11px;
    letter-spacing: 0.5px;
    font-family: 'Quicksand', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

.main_color a {
    color: #808080;
}

.entry-content-wrapper li {
    margin-right: 1.5em;
    margin-left: 0em;
}

.widget_nav_menu .current-menu-item>a, .widget_nav_menu .current_page_item>a {
    color: #ab860c;
}

THANKS!!

Ah worked this one out too, just had to play. For anyone wondering…
create a new font and new unicode for each symbol, and enter as below!
You can mark this RESOLVED now thanks :)

add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);
function avia_add_custom_icon($icons)
{
$icons['vsco']	 = array( 'font' =>'social-new', 'icon' => 'ue888');
$icons['mail']	 = array( 'font' =>'mail-new', 'icon' => 'ue800');
$icons['ello']	 = array( 'font' =>'ello-new', 'icon' => 'ue801');
return $icons;
}

add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);
function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons)
{
$icons['vsco'] = 'vsco';
$icons['mail'] = 'mail';
$icons['ello'] = 'ello';
return $icons;
}

Hmm actually have partially resolved.. I started again with font and code, renaming my font and adjusting code, which now reads;

add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);
function avia_add_custom_icon($icons)
{
$icons['vsco']	 = array( 'font' =>'social-new', 'icon' => 'ue888');
return $icons;
}

add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);
function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons)
{
$icons['vsco'] = 'vsco';
return $icons;
}

All I want to know now is how to add another social icon (from within the same font). Icon name is “ello”, and number is “ue817”. Do I need to create a separate font altogether? Thanks!!

Oh great – that plugin is a legend! It seems the “large” size that was being generated was a different max size to what I had been trying to add, and the resulting downsized version was not at all sharp. I need to refine the thumbnails further now to suit our needs, but I think this will (hopefully) get us there. Thanks that, appreciated.
Question: for the php change that I have made (see above instructions on May 29 2015), where should I put these so that the change is not overwritten in subsequent updates? Thankyou!!

Yes thanks!

Thankyou, this works perfectly.

YESSS it works, thanks!!

Thankyou! This nearly works… there just seems to be the thinnest little border or line or something going on to the right (ie – doesn’t sit as nice and flush to the edge as it does when menu is at top.) Do you know a solution for this?
Thanks so much!
Caren

Thankyou!
