Hello! 1. Please tell me why I don’t have filters and a portfolio expansion button (plus). This function is not working on my two sites (test.grafdaax.beget.tech and digitalmango.ru). 4 days ago I sent you access to personal communication. When I trying to select filters, everything goes missing. and “plus” doesn’t appear in any case.
2. How do I make a logo light and dark (for example digitalmango.ru/project/rol-v-kino) in the dependence of the project of the project? Logo in color.
thank you a lot !!!
3. What function does “Hover Image Lazyload”? And when it should be used? I didn’t notice the difference
Hello, thank you for your message.
1. I answered you same day, please check your email. The problem might be in Plugins you installed, also access you gave me doesn’t have admin permission so I can’t check plugins by myself
2. There is no such option but I can add it for the next update.
3. This option is for big images (1 mb for example) and it allows to not load this images when page is loading which improves loading speed.
thank you!!! the mail was in spam, I will now see your letters!
1. Okay, I’m gonna try to disable all plugins and check out the widget
2. It’ll be fine!
3. noticed that the quality and size of the GIF is significantly inferior to mp4 and mov at the same resolution. Tell me, is it possible to add as a hover not a GIF but a video file of some format? (The size of 10 sec GIF 600×338px is 10.2mb, but the same MOV – 1.7mb with the better quality)
4. Why would a message window arise “The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later”? The video in Youtube is available and works.
1. I found out the reason. portfolio didn’t work correctly because the Divi builder in active on site.
I used it as a basis for creating most pages. Divi – famous builder and I think it’s a lot of useful. Maybe, you can improve their compatibility?
Best regards!
Hello,
3. Yes right GIF has bigger size and it’s image, but MOV file it’s a video format and has diferent behavior and way of control in HTML, despite of big size GIF still has more benefits to use it as preview and that’s why Google still use it on Youtube.
4. Perhaps you have some server limits to include external links or your URL might be wrong, you can send me admin access to my email and I will check.
1. My theme supports Visual Composer, it’s most popular page builder for wordpress, but I can’t guarantee about Divi because I have never seen it and don’t know why it uses same functions with my theme, I can take a look from admin panel.
How i can activate the sound and no autoplay in a selfhosted video?
Hello, you can find it in Appearance > Edit – Templates > Content or in file editor “wp-content/themes/plexx/templates/content/content-video.php” on line 10 “autoplay muted”, just remove these parameters.
When you see the images in the portfolio lose color… Is there any way to fix it??
Hello, thank you for your message.
What do you mean lose color? Do you have examples?
Thank you for the image, you should use web-optimized images, you can read more about it here – https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-image-color-and-saturation-loss-in-wordpress/
Thanks!!! I have another question. How can I remove the separation between images? https://i.imgur.com/k66gSDQ.jpg
If you are talking about gallery in potfolio project you can add this code to Theme Options > Custom CSS to remove gap between pictures:
.single-portfolio-item .boxed-style .portfolio-one {
margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
}
And if I only want to remove the spacing to a single project?
You should add ID of your project there, which you can find in admin panel or in html source code of the project, for example postid-41>
.postid-41.single-portfolio-item .boxed-style .portfolio-one {
margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
}
Hello again, I have 2 questions. Is it possible to change the “logo” when you change within a project? On the other hand, how could I deactivate the blue box that appears above the photos (1)? https://i.imgur.com/vq9z2y3.jpg
Hello, you mean to change the logo for each page/portfolio project for example? There is no such option but you can order theme customization.
About the blue box, I think it’s possible with Custom CSS but I can’t open the URL you sent me, can you send a new one?
Yes, for example on the Home page, I have the black logo (.jpg / .png) and then within a project I have the black background and I want to put the white logo (.jpg / .png).
New picture: https://imgur.com/Dzf88AX
Yes I see your point, yeah the theme is needed some customization to have this option. I can do it for you with smaller price if you want to add only this option.
About blue box with mouse hover, you can control it for each project in its options, or you can add this Custom CSS code for all:
.portfolio-gallery-item a:after, .justified-gallery .slick-slide::after {
background: transparent;
}
But u on the sample page, taught that it could be changed and I thought that this could be done :s
black: https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/portfolio-6-packery/ white: https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio-item/we-just-call/
—
And if I wanted to change the color gradient of + or just remove it, how would it be done? I thought that the whole blue frame and the + went together
Yes I see your URLs, there are the same text logo but with different color settings in Project Options > Colors, it’s possible only for text logo.
About gradient over Plus icon, you can try this Custom CSS code, here are colors in HEX:
.portfolio-item .thumb::before, .portfolio-item .thumb::after, .portfolio-gallery-item .thumb::before, .portfolio-gallery-item .thumb::after, .slick-slide .justified-cross::before, .slick-slide .justified-cross::after, .masonry-cross::before, .masonry-cross::after, .row-link::after, .row-link::before {
background: linear-gradient(90deg, #17ead9 10%, #6078ea 100%); }
Another question, if I want to rescue a project of images (type: padding), what is the code that I would use? Is that if I make a post of images, the images look too big, even if the size is small
Hello, I can try to help you with Custom CSS, but could you send me URL of this page?
I am currently using a large resolution, but I previously did tests with a lower resolution
let’s try this Custom CSS code, you can andjust %% as you like to:
@media only screen and (min-width: 960px) {
.single-portfolio-item.layout-fullwidth {
padding: 0 10%;
}}
But if i use this code, logo moves, the upper and lower menu: S
Yes right, if you want to keep width for navigation menu you can use this code instead:
@media only screen and (min-width: 960px) {
.single-portfolio-item .content-wrapper {
margin: 0 10%;
}}
Is it possible that the video titles can stay on the home page rather then only on hover and still keep the image?
Video Portfolio and Minimal Blog
Hello, you can try this CSS code for titles:
.item-description h2 {
opacity: 1;
}
and for categories:
.item-filter {
opacity: 1;
}
Thank you worked like a charm
Hey, Is there any way by which we can hide the portfolio section from home page? I mean, I just wanted to show About Me and Journal section on my homepage. Is it possible? Thanks in advance.
Hello, yes sure you can use any Blog template but About me will be after Blog section, you can also use Wordpress editor to add content to a page.
Thanks for your quick response. I really appreciate it. And Yes, we can use any blog template for this but I wanted to add ‘About Me’ section just above the blog section. Isn’t there any way to do so?? Or simply if we can hide the Portfolio section from home page? Looking forward to hear from you.
There is no option for About me position or hiding Portfolio, but you can use Custom CSS code:
.portfolio_container {
display: none;
}
Just tried by adding this code in Admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS but no luck. Portfolio is still visible on home page. I want to display my portfolio on ‘Portfolio’ page separately and not on the homepage. That’s why I needed this.
Please use Theme Options > General > Custom CSS, but if you want to show portfolio on any other page you should define page ID for the code to hide portfolio only there. You can find it in source code of your page.
Thanks, it worked. Really appreciate your support. 
Hi, There’s one more query, I was arranging my blog post according to the categories. Here, if you open eg. www.abc.com/category/news page, what is the best/easy way to replace the word “Category: news” to some other word? and also, how can I assign ‘Blog Packery’ template instead of ‘Blog Simple’ for this page? In which file, I can update these values? Thanks
Hello, you can use any translation plugin for replace “Category” word, for example Loco Translate.
About Packery template for Category page, Wordpress uses “archive.php” in theme’s folder as default template for Categories, Search and other pages, by changing its code you can control output, but you should know PHP language to do it. For example you can experiment with “template-blog-packery.php” content (in plexx/templates) for “archive.php”
Can the video wall work with simply a vimeo channel?
Hello, do you mean parse videos from a vimeo channel?
Yes correct rather then have to add each which is so time consuming
Unfortunately I haven’t found any useful plugin for Vimeo connection, so only way with one by one.
Hi! Really nice theme, simple and great options. I’m trying to figure out how to change the padding between the video portfolio items (video portfolio 3). I would like to make the white space thinner. Could you help? Thank you!
Hello, thank you for your message.
You can turn off Space Between switcher in Portfolio options of your video portfolio page, it will be like this – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/portfolio-3-video/
Thank you, yes I found that option. I do like some space between the portfolio items, I just find the default to be a little thick. I’ve tried with css but what I’ve done seems to break the page (it does the right spacing, just turns it into a 2 column porfolio occupying roughly 2/3rds of the page and a blank column on the right). Thanks
I see your point, css has been designed for 20 pixels space, so it will be not easy to rebuild, you can use No space option and add this CSS code for experiment, but no gurantee:
.thumb, .portfolio-link:after {
margin: 5px;
}
Ok thanks, I’ll give it a try . Thanks for the super fast answers
Regarding Ardentvibe’s comment about wanting to have the gif on their own drive, after setting up my site with this theme I went in search of an easy gif maker, and incredibly giphy make it (for Mac) You just play your video and position the capture over the area you want to grab, trim and save, upload into media and you’ve got it on your own site. https://giphy.com/apps/giphycapture
I’ve only just launched my site in the past week (https://www.yetanother.co) but I’ve had the theme since last December, patiently waiting to make my place on the web. It’s a fantastic theme – from the first moment I saw it I knew it would be perfect – it’s beautiful – thank you Mallini!
Thank you very much for this information. Can I add your website URL to my theme description as example?
It would be an honour!
I’ve actually updated my profile and included your theme in my information https://themeforest.net/user/darthambiguous
Hi how does one disable search function?
Hello, search is core funcion of Wordpress, maybe you can try some plugin
I am referring to the default search icon top left of the theme once scrolling.
Ahh, I’ve got it, you can hide this icon with Custom CSS code, there is no option in theme settings yet.
Do you have that code handy?
Yeah you can try this code for Custom CSS:
.search-icon {
display: none;
}
Thank you
Hi Folks – just purchased and having issues setting up the theme – imported the demo content but it didn’t come in similar to the demo site – what google fonts / sizes are you using in the demo layout ?
Also having issues sorting out the google API as it’s a new setup
Hello, thank you for your message.
It might be some server problem during content importing, you can try to do it later again or send me URL and admin access to support email and I will made few demo projects.
I’m using Rubik font from Google library with 60 pixels size for headers and 26 pixels for project item’s hover titles.
About API key, you can get it here, of course you need google accout – https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/developer_api
Hello! Just purchased this theme and it looks fantastic. Quick question; I noticed that in the “HD Video” template on your preview the videos play a short preview as you hover over them. This feature is the sole reason I chose your theme over others offering a similar feel. I don’t see any clear direction in the documentation you provided for how to set this feature up, though I do have a suspicion that it’s related to the lite mention of uploading a GIF. Do I have to create a GIF of each video I want to feature and then individual upload them? If so, would you be able to recommend the easiest way to do this? Thank you!
Hello, thank you for your message.
Yes that’s right via GIF, not easy way but wordpress still doesn’t have other options or plugins. I recommend you to use this website, you can paste your video URL there and cut, but be careful with file size, best is 1-2 seconds – https://giphy.com/create/gifmaker
Thank you! That does make creating a GIF from a video so much easier. What is the next step after having Giphy.com turn the video into a GIF that’s hosted on their website? It seems as if they do everything in their power to prohibit people from downloading their GIFs.
Yeah they have changed algorithm little bit, last step will be button “Upload to Giphy”, after that you will see 4 links on the right side, one of them Media, click there then copy Source URL, this is your GIF which you should save and upload to your website as Hover image in Portfolio project.
Hi. Thanks for the quick update patch so we can remove the category: text before category:value … I’m working in an environment where no cPanel/file manager is available (for client via wpengine) so can I just overwrite the previous version theme files with the newer theme files? Easier would be to see an update option in the WP admin dashboard, so we could simply click “update theme”.
I downloaded WP File Manager Plugin which is useful for anyone who does not have access to cPanel/file manager tool. It seems to be working ok. Here’s the link. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/
hello, yes right, you can use file manager plugin but don’t forget to deactivate theme (activate standard) during file replacement, because your website can stuck with error
So far so good. Where is the documentation about creating & implementing portfolios into pages/posts? I just want to insert a horizontal slider gallery into top of home page…But it’s not so intuitive. Do we need to be using page builder to do this? Shortcodes? In theory, this should be simple. 1. Create a portfolio with images or videos… 2. On page or post editing, select placement of portfolio and which portfolio format to insert the portfolio presentation.
Hello, thank you for your message.
No, you don’t have to use page builder or shortcodes, just open your portfolio page settings, click on Header tab, choose there Gallery and Gallery type – Slider, don’t forget to upload images there.
How do we disable the appearance of date, category, tags or comments shown above the text content above each post summary on the category/archive pages?
Aha, I found a way via WP admin > appearance > customize > additional CSS > .simple-post-meta { border: 0; padding: 10px 40px 40px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; font-weight: 300; color: #8d949e; display: none; }
last line, “display:none;” does the trick
yes right, you can use only display:none to hide this block
I have home page set with template “Blog Packery”. When scrolling down page the images do not fill across the bottom row. If click on the + button below images, then images load evenly. Is there a theme or page setting that I am missing in order to get the images to fill the bottom row without having to click the + button. For example, I’d like to have the Packery show 3×3, 3×4, or 3×5 etc on default view without user having to load more to fill the bottom row across. Thanks!
I have screen shots to clarify but not sure how to upload them here. Default view of packery images: https://imgur.com/a/ZtNik2Y
view I desire full fill bottom row as default view: https://imgur.com/a/ZtNik2Y
Yeah in you case you can just set post count to 9 for example, in Settings > Reading – Blog pages show at most
Hi. Thanks, nice theme. What is the best/easy way to remove the word “Category:”, “Tag:”, etc from archive pages so that my H1 titles will only display the name of category or tag without the word Category: or Tag: in front of the text?
Hello, thank you for your message.
The easiest way is to install Loco translate plugin and replace this words with space ” , but there might be after that, so you can send me URL of your website and admin access to my support email and I will remove it.
Sorry I can’t give admin access, security concerns w/ clients working for. Will PM
Okay no problem, I will make an update so you can remove this words fully with ”:”
Hi,
I first had the free version of this theme (Envato gift a while ago) but I have now purchased it, since I ran into a bug and hoped that was fixed in the new version… Unfortunately, it does not help, so hopefully you can help me!
I have 2 pages using the portfolio 5 + packery template. On page 1 I show portfolio items with filter 1, 2 and 3, on page 2 I show portfolio items with filter 4 and 5. There are no problems with page 1. At first page 2 is correct as well, but if I click ‘all’ on page 2, it suddenly also includes portfolio items from filter 1! It will not list the filter, but it will show the items. It happens not only with my child theme, but also when I use the original theme. I already threw away filter 1 and made a new one, but that does not help!
Any advice??
Thanks in advance! Joke
Hello, thank you for your message but I need more technical information about this bug, can you send me URL and admin access to my support email?
Not yet, since it is still only offline, but I will probably put it online Monday
okay, let me know when it’s ready, because I can’t get same bug on my test website.
working to get it online now
It is online now, and I have sent you the URL and admin access by mail!
Hi Mallini,
Hope everything okay for you. i just had a surprise this morning on my portfolio page: https://studiofrenchies.com/portfolio/our-works/. The template is of this page is “Portfolio 3 video” and i think there are a bug with portfolio because i create a new page with “portfolio 2 video” and same bug.
Can you tell me what you think ?
Thank you
Hello, it looks really strange, I can’t see any java script bugs there but maybe it’s affect of some plugin or cache, you can try to turn it off one by one and find the reason.
I turn off plugin one by one, and nothing change 
I still see many additional code on page, and Masonry JS doesn’t run, perhaps you updated something or made any changes in code?
No change in code, just update plugin !!!
I can see many scripts added by elementor plugin, see attached image – https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5g4arayvywblxq/Screen%20Shot%202018-07-17%20at%2010.51.55.png?dl=0
Hum, i see.. how can i delete them ?
Maybe by deleting plugin, or you can send me admin access to my support email and I will try to find the reason.
Hi again! Just a couple more questions. Is it possible to remove the ”+” sign when you mouse-over a project on the home page? And can I have the project image partially fade (or similar effect) with a mouse-over? Thanks again!
.portfolio-item:hover .thumb::before, .portfolio-item:hover .thumb::after, .portfolio-gallery-item:hover .thumb::before, .portfolio-gallery-item:hover .thumb::after, .slick-slide:hover .justified-cross::before, .slick-slide:hover .justified-cross::after, .masonry-cross:hover::before, .masonry-cross:hover::after, .row-link:hover::after, .row-link:hover::before {
display:none;
}
.portfolio-item:not(.has-hover-thumb):hover .portfolio-link:after {
opacity: 0.5;
}
Hi, First i would like to thank you so mush for this beautiful theme. i love it so much …
I have just a question about an idea of my homepage. i am using elementor plugin to put some content but i want to use a video fullwidth on header like template ” portfolio fullscreen video”, but in this template i can’t use elementor to put content after video header.
Do you know how can i do ?
Thank you in advance
Hello, thank you for your message.
Does elementor plugin use wordpress editor content? Can you send me URL of your page?
Hi, yes i think so, i’m not a profesional so i’m not sure. here is my website and the page: http://studiofrenchies.com/
Now the page is in template fullwidth but you can see that the video on top is not fullwidth and i think only your “portfolio fullscreen video” can do that. Isn’t true ?
Thank you
Yeh thank you for URL, it’s bug, I will fix it, you can send me admin access to my support email and I will replace files or you can do it by yourself after update will be approved
