Hi there,

yes you can use Revolution Slider with Brix, but Brix is not included in Clayton.

Let me know if you have any other question ( anche in italiano )

Simone

Buongiorno Simone, continuo in Italiano Il mio cliente vorrebbe assicurarsi che sia possibile aggiungere più elementi su una stessa pagina. Ad esempio sull’home page vorrebbe la presenza di una Slider e sotto la slider delle anteprime di alcuni album, del testo etc. Visto che sul sito demo vedo un solo elemento per ogni pagina mi chiedevo se si potesse fare. Ultima domanda: è possibile fare partire in automatico la slider e lasciarla in loop? Grazie!!!

Hello there,

this is the image behavior you are looking for? -> https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/2018/07/28/illo-eos-odit-optio-quae/

The page/post featured image can be displayed full screen (as our home page demo) or with the image ratio (like the linked post).

Let me know if you have any other question.

Best,

Simone

Hi, thanks for the link, yes I think that’s what I’m looking for; the image keeps it’s image ratio. Can this be used on the home page too? Also, I see there is this layout: https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/2018/08/06/iusto-qui-qui-perspiciatis-et/ Showing a horizontal scrolling gallery. Could this also be used on the home page? And when viewing on a phone could it also keep it’s horizontal layout? (I see on that demo page it resizes into a long gallery when on a smaller screen but I would like it not to do this). Thanks!

Hello there,

these pages are included in the demo content, but you can recreate easily:

• Album cover -> is a page with the “Collection” page template and the “Album cover” layout
• Beautiful shots from above -> is a page with the “Album” page template and the gallery “Row” layout.

Let me know if you have any other question (anche in italiano )

Best,

Simone

che bello ! grazie mille per la dritta simone, un piacere parlare in ita su Envato mi sono accorto che impostando la pagina con ” album Cover ” il testo che appare sulle gallerie passando con il mouse nella versione Desktop, non funziona su smartphone…perchè giustamente manca il mouse…c’è un modo per mostrare il nome dell’album solo su mobile ? perchè appare solo se ci clicco sopra col dito e non si ha il tempo di leggere perchè entra subito nell’album.

inoltre ho notato che su una galleria impostata come “album” con 100 foto, non funziona sempre lo scroll con la rotella del mouse…è un bug ?

grazie mille Ciao!

Ema

Buongiorno Ema,

grazie per la segnalazione riguardo al problema dell’album cover, verrà corretto nel prossimo update.

Per quanto riguarda il problema con album molto grandi, avrebbe per caso un link da condividere in modo che possiamo analizzare meglio il problema?

Grazie e a presto,

Simone

http://www.emans.it/full-wedding-2/

Ecco la pagina, Grazie.

E.

Buongiorno Emanuele,

non abbiamo riscontrato problemi con lo scroll nella sua pagina. Ha riscontrato questi problemi su un browser in particolare?

A presto,

Simone

su Google Chrome

Buonasera Emanuele,

abbiamo provato su Google Chrome con diversi computer e mouse (magic mouse e mouse tradizionale con rotella) e non abbiamo riscontrato problemi, la pagina si carica molto velocemente e lo scroll è fluido e si raggiunge il fondo della pagina senza problemi. Potrebbe essere un problema legato al suo computer? Ha provato su altri computer?

A presto,

Simone

p.s. Complimenti per le fotografie!

Ok allora proverò a reinstallarlo… già che ci sono posso chiederti se è stata prevista qualche opzione per contenuti video ? perchè mi piacerebbe mettere un video a pagina intera, ma non ho trovato niente nel template demo, ne da altre parti.

Grazie mille.

Buongiorno Emanuele,

può vedere un esempio di video caricato in pagina a questo link -> https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/2018/07/28/illo-eos-odit-optio-quae/ I video sono supportati nel page content usando il blocco di WordPress.

A presto,

Simone

questo genere di impaginazione è perfetto. dove posso trovare la guida per impostare tutto correrttamente ?

ho visto che è uscito un nuovo aggiornamento del tema, è possibile vedere le novità portate con l’aggiornamento ?

Hi Olivier,

thanks for the suggestion, we will work to add a global option to disable the “Download” link on all albums + collections.

Best,

Simone

Great, Meanwhile is there a SQL command i could run for it to take place on all former albums & collections ? would really help me out

You can do it via code with the following PHP snippet:

add_filter( 'clayton_gallery_config', function( $config ) {
    $config[ 'lightbox' ][ 'download' ] = false;

    return $config;
} );

Place the above code in the functions.php file of the theme/child theme, and you should be good.

HI, thanks a lot, added this to my functions.php in the parent theme, then tried in the child theme and doesn’t work, can still download any image from share button (and download is active in my options).

https://www.olivierborgognon.com/corporate-lifestyle/#&gid=1&pid=10

Hello there,

unfortunately the filter works only on albums, not collections.

We will manage this functionality in the next theme update.

Regards,

Simone

hi simone,

Ok i get it, so if i understand well that means that the photo wall, or any other way of showcasing images which is not an Album enables images to be downloaded. Meaning… If i disable download on an album, but this album is in a collection… images become downloadable at this stage correct ?

Hello there,

yes, but we will fix this in the next update

Best,

Simone

Hey simone and team,

Great 1.8 update ! Fantastic to have global disable/enable download & local inherit, disable/enable option. Fabulous feature

May I add a couple of things or ask for previous ones for next version ? - sharing -> email ? (for those of us not on social media) - Option of having social media icons (social, email, etc.) on the main menu bar (wonderfulmachine for example require it to be part of their enrolment process) - update on the “footer sidebar” idea ? (which can allow me to have a contact form anywhere and not above my wall in collections/photo wall mode) etc. - Amount of colums selection in “full layout” mode ?

Must look into that shortcode for albums to see how that works, because it looks like just a kick-ass feature !

So, again, but it’s always good to say it and to hear it… THANK YOU ! the whole team is working amazingly and it’s really inspiring to work on our websites to develop our business like that.

Hello there,

first of all, thank you for your kind words and amazing review, we really appreciate!

Concerning your requests:

1. Yes, this can be done and will be included in the next theme update

2. Nice idea, we have to figure out a couple of things concerning the design of the header but we will include this request on our list!

3. We already have this feature on our list but we are trying to prioritize the new features, don’t worry, will be included in a future update

4. The option for a full-width post is already on our list, but without columns, because you already have the new WordPress “column” block that allows you to create a more flexible layout. Let me know if I understood correctly your request.

Best,

Simone

Hi simone,

You are welcome.

for points 1-3 awesome.

For point 4, it was more about being able to have more density options on a full-width gallery, album, collection to showcase maybe 1-3 images per row, and not about the column element of Gutenberg.

Thanks a lot,

Olivier

and quick question… how does the Albums shortcode work ? can’t find it in the documentation (which i guess is somewhat quite normal… release was 2 hours ago :D)

Hello there,

thank you for the clarification of point 4.

Concerning the new shortcode, you can find the shortcode in the documentation (the “Offline documentation”) file inside the main package, the shortcode is called clayton_album_cover, this is an example: [clayton-album-cover id=”17”] and these are the extra functionalities:

• Turn album link on/off: Name: link Values: 0 or 1 (default)
• Toggle the display of album’s images count Name: count Values: 0 or 1 (default)
• Display album title Name: title Values: 0 or 1 (default)

[clayton-album-cover id=”17” link=0 count=0 title=0]

Best,

Simone

hi Simone, I was just looking at the Wedding skin, and basically, the columns size and look of the wedding home page (below the slider header) is exactly what I was asking for a while back.

How do I implement that in my default skin ?

Thanks,

Olivier

Hi Simone, any news on this one ? Thanks a lot, Olivier

Hi there,

first of all thanks for using Clayton.

1. Do you need to exclude a specific category from the blog page?

2. The albums galleries are always printed before the page content, so yes, if you add some text will be displayed after the images gallery.

3. Albums can be pages or posts, if an album is a post should be paginated like other posts. Are you suggesting to disable the posts navigation when the post format is gallery? Collections are not paginated, since they are pages.

Let me know if you have any other suggestion!

Talk soon,

Simone

Yes i meant exclude a specific category from a blog page, is there a way to do that ? (might come in useful)

your answer of point 3 solves my problem of paginations. I hadn’t realised i could do them as galleries or pages of album template. I’m changing them all now to pages, hopefully it won’t collapse my SEO ranking too much… Worth while updating the documentation to clarify, never know.

For positioning of galleries, would be great to have them where we position them, as it’s also a way to have text before, after, or spaced out, using the power of gutenberg blocks

That being said, you guys are super reactive and your theme updates are awesome, sincerely top notch service.

Hello there,

thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate!

Concerning your blog question, we have added this request to our features list, this is something that we should definitely include in the blog page template.

We are still investigating on gallery positioning, we will improve this functionality in future updates.

Thanks again for your feedback and let me know if you have any other suggestion!

Best,

Simone

Hey Simone,

Back again with another suggestion :

Would it be possible in 1.6.3 to have a sidebar positioned as a footer bar in pages & posts ?

The idea is the following :

I’m on WPML, and Visibility widget option doesn’t work well in multilingual, so i can’t de-activate my footer in both languages correctly on most pages.

As your theme provides the option of creating custom widget areas, i created a Contact Form Area in which i added an embed of Custom HTML which i can then append to every page or post I want.

Now the issue is that I want to have it below all my pages or posts and not on the side, and when i use your sidebar option… it’s only left or right, could you guys add “bottom” and “top” for those of us who would need it ?

That would solve issues with visibility, and we can apply where needed still using WP features.

Workaround but not awesome :

What i’m doing now is that i created 2 blocks, one H2 with the title, and one Custom HTML with the embed code, and i’m adding them manually to all pages. But if the code changes for any reason… i’m damned because i must edit every single page for both languages individually.. instead of 1 custom HTML in a widget.

Thanks a lot,

Olivier

Hello Olivier,

if I understand correctly, you need a full width sidebar before the footer?

Talk soon,

Simone

Hello there,

we have used a plugin called “WP Instagram Widget”, but you can install the plugin you like. We have added the Instagram widget to the footer widget area and configured with 9 images and thumbnail image size.

Let me know if you have any other question or suggestion.

Regards,

Simone

Thanks! Another little question: is it possible to change the width of the blog posts?

As a P.S. for the last suggested feature – even more powerful will be a feature as an on/off option to be able make any default gutenberg editor gallery block opened in lightbox (with lightbox options that could be global for the certain page to keep it simple or individual for each gallery block if possible)

And not only for Gallery gutenberg editor block but for Single Image gutenberg editor block as well. Not only for «Album» page/post template, but for any other page/post templates too («Default template», «Full width» etc.)

(There is already a default wordpress option for every gutenberg editor gallery/image block – «Link» that can be set to «Mediafile» – so images will be opened as a files in browser on click (but it seems useless), need add there «Lightbox» behavior somehow, or maybe add it to another place, so not to loose this feature with Wordpress updates).

First of all thank you much for new update and new Scattered mode!

I found some issues, please fix them if possible:

1. Scattered mode in Albums and Collections both got same issue with Columns option selector – no matter that you choose – there will be only 3 columns layout in the frontend page. (Not sure if there are any layouts for 1,2 and 4 columns though) See screenshot – https://ibb.co/Z1qfFnB

2. Not an issue, but I noticed that this 3 columns Scattered mode layout consists of 3 different row patterns, so they repeat over page depending of images amount in gallery. It all looks great, but need slightly tweak patterns #2 and #3 for better overall balancing – make it slightly accurate (Pattern #1 looks great) (Check and tweak balancing for 1, 2 and 4 columns Scattered layouts if they exist) See screenshot – https://ibb.co/R6kx8Bt

3. Please fix layout behavior for default Gutenberg editor block – Columns. Because It’s very useful block for easy page construction, but it got significant layout troubles in Mobile and Tablet modes, and some in Desktop mode as well. See screenshot – https://ibb.co/HtkHQVj

Hi there,

thank you for your feedback!

1. we have added to the features list the order switch for collections, is a nice idea

2. we can suggest to use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/lightbox-photoswipe/ that use the same lightbox script we are using for the galleries

3. this is our mistake, we forgot to disable the column options when scattered mode is on, we will disable them in the next update.

4. the idea behind the scattered mode is that we can add in the next updates different variants, so you can choose the one that fits better your images in a specific album, because the pattern we have created can work better if you are combining images with different ratios.

5. we will check again the columns block, thanks for reporting

Have a nice weekend,

Simone

Got it! That’s great! Thank you!

Concerning Lightbox with PhotoSwipe plugin – I tried it, it looks nice, but seems it has some interaction conflicts with the theme engine – when I activate it – and try open any gallery (that goes first on the page) that is driven by the theme engine – it opens first images but then the top part of the website (the whole top viewport ) becomes unclickable – including main menu, top images in gallery etc. If scroll down the page a bit – then items below (the whole viewport) become clickable, including menu etc., but if scroll up to the top of the website again – the top part of viewport becomes unclickable again.

Seems it overrides theme engine somehow and become open all images using this plugin engine.

Because in mobile mode it opens all images on the page using this plugin, not in theme engine.

If we have two galleries on the page: first one – driven by default theme engine and second (that’s not driven by theme engine by default) – if I try open second gallery first – it opens in this plugin lightbox engine and main menu stay clickable (but it doesn’t inherit Clayton lightbox options), but if I try open any image of the first gallery then all those troubles mention above will occur top part of the site will become unclickable, but it start inherit Clayton lightbox options for other pictures, that stay clickable.

If I disable default Clayton Lightbox switcher for this gallery page – but keep this PhotoSwipe plugin active – this first gallery will not be opened in lightbox, but second will be opened in lightbox (in PhotoSwipe plugin). And in this case top part of the site will stay clickable ok (main menu)

So If you can do some tweaks to prevent those conflicts somehow (make PhotoSwipe plugin open other galleries and images, and inherit Clayton lightbox settings for the page – that will be great!

Or if you can activate lightbox behavior as an selectable option for other galleries and images on the page using theme native framework with all lightbox controls options that will be perfect!

Have a great weekend too!

Thanks for reporting, we will take a look to see if we can prevent those conflicts!

Best,

Simone

Thank you!)

I got few ideas for a new features:

1. Could you also please add an option for Posts – disable/enable Title and disable/enable Categories link and text block. See screenshot – https://ibb.co/xgVpzYD

2. Is there any way to add an global option for Posts pages navigation (Previous-Next buttons) – to limit navigation to the current category of the opened Post only?

For example – we have several categories: 1, 2, 3, etc. “Category 1” – for albums, “Category 2” – for texts articles, “Category 3” – for something else. When we open any post in any category it has navigation between posts (Previous-Next buttons) – but by default it navigates between all posts in the whole wordpress database no matter the category.

Need add somehow a global option to limit this previous-next navigation to currently opened post category only. So for example if we open albums in “Category 1” – it will navigate only between posts in this “Category 1”. (And if the Post assigned to several categories – navigate between them all) So thus we can create collection pages with Posts only that will have their own navigation.

UPD for pt.2: And also need an Option for Blog loop Page – selector which categories to show. So that we can have separate loop pages for separate categories of posts. (One page for text articles, one page for Albums etc.)

If that possible and not so complicated, just a suggestions:)

Hello there!

1. we have added this suggestion to the list

2. We can add the pagination lock to a single category, but not to multiple categories, but we still have to analyze better the problem.

Thanks again for your suggestion

Best,

Simone

Thank you much for the new update! Scattered mode and all new patterns is super-cool feature! (Hope there will be even few more patterns someday, but even now it’s all cool though! And “Columns block” now works perfect! Great!

Concerning pagination lock to a single category – that will be quite enough for the start I think, because it’s not so needed for multiple categories. If it could be done for multiple categories though (and ability to show/hide certain categories in Blog loop Page) – that will be perfect, but not so necessary if it’s very complicated)

The only valuable issue left for scattered mode – is that in Albums pages/posts with Scattered mode activated there are no paddings from logo in Desktop and Mobile and Tablet modes (for all patterns) so the Site Logo becomes invisible because it appears over first images. It all occurs when checked Disable page header (so when Page Header is hidden) When Page Header enabled – t’s OK – there are paddings from Header so it looks ok. But need paddings when Page Header Disabled as well. And by the way – in Collection page with «Album Cover» and Scattered modes active – all works perfect for all modes (there are proper paddings from Site Logo) So please fix it for Albums (for Desktop, Mobile and Tablet modes)

And got one issue for Collection page with «Album Cover» with normal mode, not Scattered (Scattered works OK here): The issue is that albums that go latest in the backend list (items that appear in the bottom of the site) – got mixed up in the frontend and loose it’s correct order. Try add more than 4 albums in that list with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, etc. names in sequential order of numbers (with 4 columns mode, and 3 also and even 2) – and watch the numbers order in the frontend page – there numbers order will got some mixed up for latest items (that goes in the bottom) (When Scattered mode is active – the order of appearance is correct) Please fix that if possible (It’s not that so critical, but in some cases could be annoying)

And also I noticed strange behavior occurs in Collection page with Photo Wall mode with several albums inside (and in any single Album in Grid mode) If I try rearrange images using drag’n’drop in the Gutenberg gallery block settings, the order of images in any album (that’s added to this Collection) – their previews will appear on the Collection page (and in the album page in Grid mode) with the correct order I’ve just made, but when I open those images in lightbox and swipe them – the rearranged order (that I’ve made with drag’n’drop in the gallery block settings) got ignored and images become queueing based on their real file names instead (in the exact order they was added to the galley, ignoring any drag’n’drop rearrangements). So not sure if that is an easy issue to fix – but if possible – that could be nice)

Hello there,

concerning the scattered album issue, can you please send us a link to a page with this issue so that we can understand better the problem? By the way, since we have done a lot of refactoring work on javascript and php in the latest update concerning the scattered mode and spacing you may need to clean your browser cache or server cache.

Let me know.

Concerning your last question, the problem here is this is how the masonry layout works. The masonry doesn’t necessarily respect the image order, he has to fill all the empty spaces so can switch some images position. This is true for all the grid layouts in the theme, album grid, collection default, photowall and album cover.

If you want a regular grid you can create a new cropped image size, maybe using a plugin like Simple image sizes, and use this new image size as size for your grid with the dedicated option https://i.postimg.cc/BZ1MF7Vm/Schermata-2019-01-29-alle-10-54-03.png.

Regards,

Simone

Well seems it’s not a cache thing, but the layout code structure itself because I try it even in Incognito mode – with no caching.

I mean that: try to disable the Page Title (with all Title effects) on this page – https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/album-scattered/ and watch what will happen (in all Desktop and Mobile and Tablet modes). You will see it with all patterns on mobile/tablet modes and especially with patterns B and C in desktop mode. (Because pattern A in desktop mode is OK for the first look, but still it cuts a bit some part of the first image, especially if it’s in landscape orientation).

But Collection Page with «Album Cover» with scattered mode works fine as expected – because it has different layout code structure.

I found the temporary solution that works for me (Because I don’t use the Page Titles in scattered Albums): The custom CSS code, that overrides default template settings:

.clayton-g-t-scattered { margin-top: 150px; }

(But if Page Title is active – the extra space under the Page Title will occur – so it only works OK if you don’t use Page Titles in Albums)

And by the way – Google Chrome does’n see any custom CSS changes even if I refresh the page (only see it if I open the page in Incognito mode). Seems it caches CSS and never update it even if it has some custom changes. So it’s very strange behavior and a real problem. (Firefox works OK though).

Could you please suggest some reliable plugin to force Google Chrome (and any other browser) to redownload CSS (and the other changed content – .css, .js, .pdf etc.) each time I made any changes to it and also each time Wordpress or Clayton Theme or site plugins files got updated? (That will for example generate and add on the fly new versions for all files names in the source code like (?ver=123456) after each time some changes made – or somehow else). Because average User will never clean their browser cache and won’t see the updates.

Concerning the last question for Masonry layout behavior – now I got it, that’s the trick! Thank you for explanation!

Hello there,

yes you can add as many albums you need, every single image is lazy loaded so there is no problem with the page loading time.

Thank you as well for your new album idea, is something that we already have in mind and we will definitely add in one of the next theme updates.

Concerning your last question, currently every post and page can be password protected, so let me know if something is not working as expected.

Regards,

Simone

That’s all great! Thank you!) Concerning you said above that “currently every post and page can be password protected” – could you please point it out where can I activate this feature? Seems I can’t find it. And could you please tell is there something meaningful to keep in mind (some fixes or whatever) in this new today 1.5.1 update, because I can’t find any info about this update in the changelog. Thank you much againg for keep developing such a great theme!
