I also added box-shadow: none;
I am assuming that this won’t break anything else.
Thank you for the help. The theme is amazing to work with.
The contact form CSS works perfectly! Thank you.
Any way to center social icons with the smaller spacing, rather than float left. This css code puts the icons to the left of the menu bar.
The issue is this:
1. I removed borders for entire theme – made them white
2. This obviously removed the input borders in the contact form
3. I added the following custom css: .avia_ajax_form input, .avia_ajax_form textarea { border: 1px solid #e1e1e1!important;}
4. This now highlights the input fields in light grey but when hitting enter without filling in the fields, there is no longer any error highlighting.
5. I am currently modifying the css to play around with other options.
6. A screen shot doesn’t really show anything. Either no input borders, with error borders OR input borders with no error borders.7. I also had a question about the social icons on the left side menu not being so spread out. That is on the original post.
Without the important, I get no contact page borders. I do get the error message (fields not filled in) orange borders though.
So, removing the important did not work.
The admin login information is provided in the private content. When I add this custom css, the contact form border are visible but the error highlighting does not happen. .avia_ajax_form input, .avia_ajax_form textarea { border: 1px solid #e1e1e1!important;}
Thank you for the information. I have installed the plugin and am re-exporting larger images from Lightroom to perhaps change the visuals.
I do have several remaining questions regarding the sizing of galleries.
1. From the homepage I have a “galleries” menu item. This is a portfolio masonry set to automatic columns based upon width as this yielded the most predictable behavior. I understand that this uses the “masonry” media setting in the plugin. Would the theme be responsible for the responsiveness of the images between devices once I set this to a larger size?
2. If you click on any of the individual gallery items – you will be taken to the individual portfolio entry. This is also set to automatic. Does this also use the “masonry” setting or a different setting in the plugin?
3. I now page through the images from the individual gallery items where “large” is now set to: 1920 x 1920. Would I need to consider other sizes perhaps for responsiveness or is that taken care of by the theme.
4. If I do not set both of these to automatic, it builds some very strange images, often times doubling or tripling an image until it fits in the size.
Thank you.
OK. Final question and if I can’t get it to work for me…oh well.
If the masonry size is set to 705 x 705 and an image is 705 on the long edge, it sets the short edge to 471 which is the proper 2:3 ration. If an image is portrait orientation (taller, rather than wider), why does it set the long edge to 471 instead of 705. This is what my problem is. The image of the Alaskan totem pole is 705 on the long edge just like the others, but the orientation is different. Is the grid gallery page set so each row has the same height and you cannot mix landscape and portrait orientation?
Also, I re-imported the “oriente of cuba” landscape image with 705 on the long edge, using the plug-in and regenerating the thumbnails. The image is still cropped…unless you open the gallery in which you will see the entire image.
Perhaps this theme is really not for photographers?
Hello;
I installed the plugin you recommended and have a few simple questions.
Would updating the 705 x 705 masonry setting negatively impact the look/feel of your theme? I would like the images to display a bit larger by default. I also am struggling with the landscape/portrait settings. I exported a test image as 705px long side using both a landscape and portrait image orientation. The portfolio main page still crops the portrait orientation for display. I used the plugin and regenerated the thumbnails. Shouldn’t the image display 705 on the long side and not have to crop? The same image is NOT cropped one you click on the gallery to display the images contained within.
What is the element name for the images within the gallery: still masonry?
Hi. I will try the recommendations and give you an update.
Here is the description of Perfect Manual Masonry: Manually control the height and width of entries by adding either a “landscape” or “portrait” tag when creating the entry. Elements with no such tag use a fixed default size, elements with both tags will display extra large. If I used both tags, why would it be “wrong” as is states in the description that the image would display extra large?
If you click on the cropped image, it will display as the full image. If WordPress was cropping it upon upload, would the full sized image be available for display at all?
Andy;
My apologies if you think I expect you to answer support questions on the weekend. Your weekend is your weekend.My original question was #607844 on 4/4/16 where I did re-post private login information. The reply to this post actually did not address my original question. When I add private login information to my own post, is that considered bumping into your own thread. I really wasn’t trying to do that.
I reposted #609705 on 4/7/16 hoping to get a fresh start on what I thought was an unanswered/closed issue. By the way, none of these questions were on the weekend :-)
I have found work arounds for some of my issues, such as paging through a portfolio stopping at the number of items loaded. I no longer show only 12 items per page but simply load all items so that it will page through the entire portfolio.
However, the images size for typical photography is a 3:2 ratio in either landscape or portrait orientation. My portrait images are not cropped by WordPress but are indeed cropped by the theme when displayed. I can open the cropped image and it will display properly. I can’t seem to figure this one out. The login information is in support thread #607844.
My remaining issues are cropping of portrait images and actually the responsiveness of the theme on an iphone. When I remove the “view portfolio” or “contact” button from the landing page home image, there is nowhere to go on an iphone.
Thank you and sorry for the confusion.
Diane1. The portfolio page is already set to perfect manual masonry. The portfolio images have both landscape & portrait tags to display extra large. The portrait images display incorrectly. This still doesn’t work.
2. Once you click on the portfolio page, you are brought to a portfolio entry. There is no option to add portrait or landscape tags at the individual photo level. I have been customizing the image containers in order to make it look better. The only way this page displays well is with the flexible masonry. There is no perfect manual masonry at this level.
3. The site is not very responsive on an iPhone. Please take a look!
Well. It has been two days without an answer to my questions. I am not asking you to customize a site especially for me. I am asking you to fix what seems like a bug or some very squirrelly coding. I now have another issue: If you click on a portfolio that has for example 30 items but you only display 12 per page. If you want to scroll through the portfolio, it will only show the 12 items displaying on the page. You need to go back out of the display slide show, click on load more, and then scroll again. This is not correct functionality.
At this point, if I don’t get any answers, I will be forced to find another theme. This is not really that great if the bugs can’t be fixed.
HELLO…..Are you out there? I really need someone to look at the layout of the photography grid. It doesn’t seem to work with portrait and landscape typical photography sizing of 3:2 ratio. Could someone get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks. I am on the fence between two themes and need the theme to support this feature.
I am using an under construction widget. http://www.dianedhemingway.com
Not sure how to attach my screen shot?
When I add photos to a portfolio, I can add the tag to the portfolio main photo but under my Masonry Gallery I don’t have tag options.
Thank you and sorry about that. I ran the reset and everything went as expected. Thank you for the help.
I bought two themes from different developers. Love your theme and it’s look and feel…however, the support for the other theme is quick and responsive. I hate to say that I might have to switch back to the other theme as it certainly will take forever to develop a site with no support. You need a great theme and great support. Please help.
Could you please help. I really want to just start again and it shouldn’t be this difficult to do or to get help.
I have been experimenting a lot with the theme and making changes to the photo demo install.
I want to start with a fresh installation and a new copy of the demo data.
I have done the following:
1. deleted the theme in Host
2. re-installed the theme with a clean install
3. re-imported the photo demo
4. upon opening the new theme, it still contains some, not all of my changes, such as a different home page, which is fixable. But the blog page is not at all like the demo page.
5. What other files do I need to delete in addition to deleting the wp theme folder?
6. I thought that deleting the theme folder would have been enough.Thank you.
I have “played around” with the theme so much that I wanted to re-install the demo data. First I deactivated the theme and then actually deleted it. I reinstalled both the theme and the demo data. The home page still has my image on it along with the blog page no longer looking like the demo. I am new to WP so perhaps I am missing a step.
