    Hi
    The ability to sort by category on the portfolio page has completely disappeared.
    the page in question is here http://meetthemanufacturer.co.uk/exhibitors-directory/

    Also, is there any way of adding some padding around each of the blocks on the portfolio page?

    Many thanks

    Hi makeitbritish!

    You need to update your version of the theme so that its up to date with the most recent version of WordPress and bug fixes.
    For a quick guide on updating your theme take a look at this video on updating the Enfold theme via FTP: https://vimeo.com/channels/aviathemes/67209750

    Best regards,
    Devin

    Thanks for that Devin.
    Also on the same page I am finding that the images all look different sizes, despite all being set to entry with sidebar 500 x 270

    Is there an ideal size and shape to upload them all as so that they all look the same size on the portfolio page?
    Many thanks

    Hey!

    The guideline is that the image must to be bigger than the defined thumbnail size or it must at least equal the thumbnail size. I.e. the portfolio thumbnail size is defined in functions.php with

    
$avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio'] 		 	= array('width'=>495, 'height'=>400 );						// images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)

    The image http://meetthemanufacturer.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/logo-1.png is just 551 x 166 and thus wordpress won’t resize it because the height 166 is smaller than the defined height of 400px. WordPress won’t upscale the images but it will only crop/shrink images if they’re bigger than the defined thumbnail dimensions.

    You’ve 3 options:

    1) Upload bigger images with a dimension of at least 495x400px

    2) Change the thumbnail size (especially the height) to a low value and regenerate the thumbnails with: http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

    Imo this will not produce acceptable results because the height of 166px is simple not enough for portrait or standard images.

    3) Try the “Masonry Grid” instead of the default portfolio element. It supports different image sizes – see: http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/portfolio/masonry-portfolio/

    Cheers!

    I’ve changed the size of the image in Photoshop and re-uploaded it. It now looks better on its portfolio item page but now the image is not showing at all on the portfolio page. I’ve re-uploaded it several times and re-installed the portfolio but nothing seems to want to make the image appear on the portfolio grid.. It is this one http://meetthemanufacturer.co.uk/portfolio-item/grove-pattern-buttons/ that I am having problems with.

    Why is this?

    I’m up against a deadline so hoping that you can help very soon.

    Many thanks

    Hey!

    Thank you for the update.

    Are you using the Advance Layout Builder to modify the portfolio item? If that is the case, the featured image will not be included on the page. Please manually add the featured image using the Image element or add a slider on the portfolio item page.

    Cheers!
