Hi WPExplorer, this might be an obvious question but how do i make a masonry homepage gallery like the one you have on the demo http://www.wpexplorer.me/premium/photopro/masonry-homepage/ I understand how to do a scrolling lineup version like the one you show in your documentation, but not a masonry version. Thanks and please excuse me if I’ve missed something obvious.
No worries
There is actually an option in the theme panel. Appearance->Theme Options set your homepage style.
I saw that option but if I activate one I can’t have the other. You managed to have both in your demo: I see you have a Slider Gallery in “Home” and masonry in “Masonry” as parent in the menu. What I’m trying to have is two links/pages in my menu, one with Slider Gallery and the other with Masonry Gallery. Both with images that link to their gallerys. Just like you have in the demo here http://www.wpexplorer.me/premium/photopro/masonry-homepage/ Thanks!
Hi again
The theme is working great for me, and I don’t need to change a thing (well, only the yellow accent color on the dark skin but should be pretty easy to do right?) But this is a question about organizing the galleries:
I created gallery categories in the side menu, for example: Galleries Fashion Portrait Landscape etc (sub-menus).
I have about 5 galleries per category. I created a custom menu for the gallery categories, each linking to the 1st gallery in each category set. (I don’t want all the galleries to appear in the side menu) When I click on a gallery, for example ‘Fashion’, it opens the first ‘Fashion’ gallery, but I only want the other fashion galleries to show up in the galleries tab at the bottom. Right now, all the galleries in all the other categories are in the galleries tab, and it could get confusing for someone who only wants to see the ‘fashion’ galleries. Is there a way to make only the ‘fashion’ galleries show up when you select the ‘fashion’ category? I thought that the gallery ‘categories’ feature or tags would help with this. Maybe I’m missing an important step in the setup?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi again. I’m trying to have an image in the standard gallery to open a different image (url) in fancybox. If I try to put a custom url in the image options it doesn’t work (after I “save all changes” It assignes it’s original url again. Could this be a problem with the Gallery Metabox plugin. If so could you perhaps suggest how I can solve this? Thanks a million.
I would ideally like to have a page which gives previews of the galleries with a little explanation – a paragraph of text and a photo to click on. Is there a way to do this – either out of the box or by editing the theme?
What’s the best way to change the font of the theme – can it be done via CSS, or do I need to edit the theme again?
In the settings it talks about “Archive Gallery” under ‘Galleries’ – what is this archive gallery? It also mentions Gallery ‘About’ tab – what is this?
Sorry for all the questions!
Hi again
I’ve been hunting for an answer to my previous question, and it seems that I need to edit the get_posts() function in single-galleries.php line 89. Is there any documentation that can help me edit this myself? I tried by creating a new custom field called ‘wpex_current_post_id’ and then putting the post IDs into the value field. This does not work. My guess is I’m missing something in the php file.

Hi Dani,
So basically you just want to edit the galleries tab to show other galleries from the same “Category” (taxonomy) as the current post.
You are correct regarding what code to edit. What you need to do is add a tax query to the look…here is an example:
$terms = wp_get_post_terms(get_the_ID(), 'gallery_cats'); global $post; $args = array( 'post_type' =>'galleries', 'numberposts' => -1, 'exclude' => $wpex_current_post_id, 'suppress_filters' => false //WPML support, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'gallery_cats', 'terms' => $terms[0]->term_id ), ) ); $gallery_posts = get_posts($args);Hope that helps you get on the right track. Might need some tweaking.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I tried your code and it broke the page. Maybe I added the code incorrectly? I took a look at the taxonomy codex page but I’m not a programmer and can’t figure out what needs to be edited. Is there any way to make this happen using the admin tool? Have you ever helped someone with this same custom fix? This is the only customization I’ll need to make and I’d be happy to pay you or someone on your team for help. Sorry to be a pain but I’m totally stuck.

hello…
there is some kind of security update for us??
There shouldn’t be any security concerns with this theme because for almost everything it uses core WP functions.
I’m having trouble adding galleries to my homepage At first it worked fine and then when I wanted to add new pictures it wouldn’t, now a single gallery will not display at all, what should I do?
I’d be glad to assist but it’s pretty impossible for me to know how it’s all setup and why its not working without actually taking a look. Care to contact me via my profile page?
Sure give me a sec
I sent you a message
I figured it out

Update, my homepage template maybe the problem with my galleries show. freestylefreedom.net
