HI Ismael,
Thank you!

That doesn’t seem to work. I tried both the parent theme and the child theme’s function.php.

That’s an interesting approach. I’ll have a look at that. Thank you!

I believe I understand those instructions. However, I still have questions on how to edit the template in question.

I believe the correct template is taxonomy-portfolio_entries.php. I made a few adjustments to it…but I’d like to further customize the template.

1. I would like to remove “Archive: ” from the title (It’s NOT an “archive”. It’s a category. If I could append it somehow…like with a data attribute?
2. I would like to have some control over the layout, can this template use a page with a custom layout (like the way the Blog page can be set to a custom page)?
3. When this grid first loads, on hover, the image-overlay appears as a thin strip at the top. I could not determine how to eliminate this with css.

With regard to the Sidebar, thank you for providing more clarity there!
I went to Enfold > Sidebar Settings > Sidebar On Archive Pages and chose Right Sidebar. That works.

I also set Separate Sidebars For Blog And Archive Pages to Show separate Archive Sidebar on Archive Pages. That works. It exposes the Sidebar Archives widget area.

Then, I added the navigation menu widget to the Sidebar Archives widget area, but it does not display (that’s how I realized that this has to be a totally different template file: taxonomy-portfolio_entries.php). Rather, a default: Pages, Categories, Archive widget set is shown.

I don’t think its the right solution to set that navigation menu widget to Display Everywhere because that would affect other pages where I may want to have a sidebar with different widgets in the sidebar…is that the ONLY way?

Thank you for any advice (and for your patience), I really appreciate it.

The password protection shouldn’t matter, you can still see the links aren’t working. But I removed the password.

I did some tinkering, and I have discovered something.

Compare one portfolio item vs. another. They have the same template but their Title Bar settings are different.
The Title Bar is set to “hide both” and the links don’t work here:

The Title Bar is set to “default”, and the links do work here:

So there is something that is causing the links to stop working if “hiding both” is selected. I think it is the existence of drop-down menu items in the header where those regions overlap the sidebar. See this screenshot:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gac80t1KhrN_RVFbez1uoBZXRLn9RSR_/view?usp=sharing

You can see that the region for the drop-down menus overlaps the sidebar menu items at the top. I added two additional categories in the menu, and those work because they fall below the drop-down menu region.

As a work around, I can show the title bar (though, for various reasons particular to this site’s content, I wanted to hide the title and use an h1 in the custom layout), but I think this should be addressed so that one can have a drop-down menu, and sidebar navigation that do not conflict (out-of-the-box). I could also add padding to the menu…but I shouldn’t have to force the sidebar menu down on the page to avoid overlap with the drop-down menu region–if the region were larger, it would still conflict with moderate padding.

Can you fix this?

Just in case there was an issue between the Boxed vs Stretched layout, I switched to the stretched layout (but it turns out the same issues existed in Boxed and Stretched).

Also: Before I found this through inspecting the menu, I’d considered these options below. I’m including them in case it’s helpful:

I also tried setting the page’s sidebar settings to use “Sidebar Pages” and moved the navigation widget to the default Sidebar Pages widget area. Same result, so it doesn’t appear to be an issue with the custom widget area.

I added Enfold Child Latest Portfolio links to the Sidebar Pages widget area and those links work (even when “hide both” is selected). ((But this is because they appear lower on the page and don’t conflict with the Z-index of the drop-down menus, even when those drop-down menus aren’t active.))

I have since removed these test options and put the navigation menu widget back in the custom widget area and changed the settings back to display these in my custom posts.

Ah, that wasn’t clear. I was seeking a solution such that the custom layout would be a template used for each time a new post is created. But this may work…allow me to test this to be used the way you’ve described and I’ll circle back.

Thansk Ismael!

Thank you for the reply. I will try this and let you know how it goes. Since the Portfolio custom post type is already part of the theme, it would be very helpful to your users to have a way to implement custom layouts for all posts of that type. It could be a setting in the advanced area, such as the one you provide to register new CPTs for using ALB. For new CPTs that aren’t. original to the theme, I understand that would be a “different” animal. I hope you’ll consider that for future releases.

This solution leaves me with no title tag attribute. Unfortunately. BTW, I thought of another way to handle this, should anyone find this thread and need an option. You could create a separate gallery and add a class to that gallery, THEN style all the titles of that gallery. So you’d have one gallery with italic titles, then a separate gallery with roman titles. Just a thought. Hope that helps someone.

Hi Victoria,
I would very much like to see there be a way to add a class to any image…that was a legacy feature in WordPress I believe…whereby you could choose advanced options and add a class, but perhaps that was not carried through to the latest version (not sure why). However, I do have a work around for now which is to use a pseudo class to write the content I want wherever there is an empty field and then style that.

h3.someclass:empty:before {
content: "something";
font-style: normal;
}

Not ideal, but it does the job, for now.

Good morning Rikard,
The image isn’t placed in its own element. I want to add a class to multiple images that are in a masonry gallery. The issue I’m facing is that the images are of paintings, which have titles that need to be italic…that part is easy, its the ones that do not have official titles. The title field for those images contains <span class=”roman”>Not titled</span>, but of course that shows up in the title tag (yuck!). So the way one might normally do this is to edit the advanced options and put the class “roman” there. I think this would make the most sense if it were done from within the media library. I don’t think I have another way to do this with on multiple images placed in a gallery…thus the question about accessing Advanced Options. Those fields still exist in the db, right? Let me know what you think.

Hi Nikko,
Thank you for your assistance. I’m aware of how to add a custom link to the image such that the gallery thumbnail will link to the attachment page. Rather, I was trying to link the lightbox image to the attachment page. In other words, you click the thumbnail, the lightbox pops up, but intead of the click behavior (on the image) being an advance to the next image…it would go to the attachment page.

The next issue is that the attachment page in the Enfold theme does not display the image. Shouldn’t it? I’m sure there must be an obvious reason for this, but I’m not able to determine why no image is show on the attachment page.

I have a child theme set up, so I could dupe a page template and alter it…though, I’m not extremely familiar with PHP, so I’d need a little help. I think a solution of this nature might be really useful for a bunch of Enfold users. So if you could provide a little guidance here, we can document the process for others.
Best, KC
