Dear mallini, i bought plexx-Theme this morning because i like it’s look very much. But during installing i had some problems. Wordpress did not install the downloaded zip-file so i had to download the pure Theme-File without the demo stuff. That worked, but now i can’t install the demo-Sites and my backend looks very poor/empty. I think there are some items missing, that i need to work with. Would you please help me to install the demo-stuff correctly? Best regards, Steffen.
Hello, thank you for your message.
First of all you should unZip the file you downloaded, because it includes Demo, documentation, theme and etc.
About Demo content, yes it’s often problem when server doesn’t allow to import all files from Demo, you can try once again or send me URL and admin access to my support email and I will help you with Portfolio template and Projects.
Thank you for this quick support. I would like to give you admin-access to the page, but i need your emailaddress. I only found a text-field to write you directly. You can send me your address to reeder(at)dvjournalist.de Thank you!
Great template! Considering to buy it. Couple of questions upfront: - I’m new to WP, so don’t know if it’s a piece of cake, so better ask: is there a login mask for visitors of the website included? Can I make one? - when a video from e.g. youtube style portfolio is playing – what is the play/pause button in the right upper corner for? It doesn’t seem to do anything.. Cheers!
Hello, thank you for questions.
There is no special login template for visitors, only standard, perhaps you can use some plugins from Wordpress repository.
Play/pause buttons there are for photo slideshow, I can remove them if you want with Custom CSS code.
Hi is it possible to hide the featured image from the portfolio page? once i click on the item on the grid and enter the video page, I just want the created blocks to show and not the featured image. thx
Hello, yes for sure, you can add this code to Theme Options > Custom CSS:
.image-featured { display: none; }
thx
pre-purchase questions. great theme btw a) Is it possible to go to a video single porfolio page from the video gallery/portfolio by clicking on a individual thumb? b) can you mix video and other projects and stills in a single portfolio ? c) can a single video portfolio page include type under the video?
thx
Hello, thank you for your questions.
a. Yes it’s possible if you turn off Show in lightbox switcher for this single project
b. Yes sure you can mix it on any portfolio template
c. Yes you can add text like here – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio-item/dreamed-in-japan/
thx this is very helpful
Greatly enjoying the theme! Quick question: for each portfolio thumbnail, I would like to display that portfolio item’s “subtitle” field in place of the “filter” (item-filter) which is shown by default. (I’ve currently turned the item-filter text opacity to 0.) I’m creating a music portfolio where the “subtitle” will always be the instrumentation of the composition and I want that to be visible in the thumbnail. Thanks for your help! The site can be found here – it’s still a work in progress: https://conorbrownmusic.com/wp/portfolio/
Hello, thank you for your question.
I can add some code to portfolio thumbnail so you will see a text from Subtitle field in there. But I need admin access to your website, you can send me it to support email.
Thanks! I just added admin access for you via your support email that’s in the Plexx pdf documentation.
Thank you for access, I added a code, now you can change the style of subtitles in Theme Options > Custom CSS, I made it smaller under main Title.
Great, thanks so much! Impressive turnaround time on this!
Now for the finishing touches: what is the coding object name for the portfolio subtitles? When I change .subtitle it only changes the subtitle properties on the underlying portfolio pages rather than the small subtitle text on the thumbnails.
Also, I would appreciate it if the background for thumbnail “title” and “subtitle” behaved so that display:inline-block would do its job differently for each. Ie., decouple the background between those two. Currently the thumbnail text background is being managed by the following code:
.item-description h2 { opacity: 1; background-color: hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0.5); display:inline-block; }
Hello, for subtitles I used ”.item-description h2 span” which you can find in Theme Options > Custom CSS as I said before. But if you want to separate it is better to use different code, I used “subtitle” so you can find it in Custom CSS now.
Magnificent – it’s working great! I appreciate your speedy assistance.
I love your theme! Great job! I’m not very good at coding. I need a little help. First, is it possible to remove the search icon located in the top left? Also, I would like to have the “Floating Social Links” in white on all pages. I didn’t see this option for the contact page. In fact, I would like to have all texts and links to be white on the entire website. Thank you so much
My website: https://follerie.com/
Hello, thank you for your message.
Yes you can remove search icon using this code in Theme Options > Custom CSS:
.search-icon {
display: none;
}
This code for white floating social links and navigation:
.top-navigation li a,
.floating-social a {
color: #fff;
}
Contact page option you can find in Contact section of the plugin (you can edit fields there).
You can use support email to contact me faster.
Nice! Thank you 
Hello, is it possible to add a “blog minimal” on a special category of article? thank you for your work
Hello, thank you for your message.
Unfortunately there is no such option, you can try to use some Wordpress plugins to control category but no guarantee.
Hello! Love the theme but was wondering if it is possible to have this video grid but with white space/padding in between the videos? https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/portfolio-3-video/
I noticed that this demo page (https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio-3-video-margins/?color_scheme=dark-scheme) does have padding between the videos but when scaled down on mobile devices, the videos remain in 3 columns, as opposed to being responsive and re-formatting to a one column layout. Just need this clearing up before I purchase. Thanks!
Hello, thank you for your question.
Yes video grid is possible with/without spaces, you can set up it in page settings. About mobile devices, it must be one column, what device did you use?
Thanks so much! I have now purchased and installed but am having issues regarding what I mentioned above – you said the 3 column video portfolio layout would scale down to 1 column on mobile, but t doesn’t – see here Also when a video is clicked on and the Lightbox opens up, the player bar at the bottom doesn’t show and neither do the navigational arrows to go to the next video – see here. I can’t see an option where this can be added.
The site I am talking about it here – https://tamberstudio.com Thanks!
Hello, what mobile device do you use?
About player bar at bottom, it seems you turned off it in your vimeo player settings (check it in Vimeo account), also navigation arrows can be seen when you move mouse or just use keyboard left/right arrows.
Hello thank so much for your response. I am moving the mouse and still no arrows show up
Are you able to try and send me a screen grab if your show up? https://tamberstudio.com/
Hello, yes sure, first is from Chrome – https://www.dropbox.com/s/9p4nkwdszplh7ej/Screenshot%202019-05-11%20at%2009.58.50.png?dl=0 second from Safari – https://www.dropbox.com/s/v5o2bkpns9anv8o/Screenshot%202019-05-11%20at%2009.59.50.png?dl=0
Hey Mallini,
Having a really basic issue, trying to load the demo site to a local host so I can edit, but none of the images load into the demo, just the layout. The media is there, just not loaded.
Thanks for you help!
Hello, thank you for your message. Perhaps there is something with server settings, you can try to increase response time, because media files are big.
Hi, great theme! Just one question: how can I format text into the “About me” section? Thanks
Hello, thank you for your question.
You can edit it in Theme Options > About me
Hi thank for your quick response, but I didn’t mean the editing of the section: I’d like to obtain formatted text (bold, italic, etc)
Ahh got it, wordpress requires cleaning all text from html tags in custom fields so it’s no possible by default, but you can send me URL and admin access and I will make it available for you or jest give me your email address (or text me to support email) and I wii give you a file to replace.
Hi. Two questions. Is it possible to edit the width of the website? It seems to be fluid, so expands content to full width, can this be reduced?
Additionally, is there a way of showing portfolio items WITH the text, such as when you hover over portfolio item, it shows portfolio title and details, can this be visible without having to hover.
Thank you
Hello, thank you for your questions.
Yes the theme has adaptive width but you can set maximal width with Custom CSS code.
There is no such option but I can add it if you need only short text within title.
Thanks for the reply. How do i do both of these please?
I can help you with both but not faster than this weekend.
Hi there, interested in purchasing this theme, looks perfect for what I’m looking for!
I have 3 presale questions – 1. Is there a way to set the Journal page as the homepage WITH all blog posts (vs. assigning a homepage and assigning the static blog page). 2. Is there a way to add a widget or embed a shortcode for a social media plugin below the plus load more sign, or only in the footer? 3. Once customized on our own, is this able to upload to WordPress.com or only the .org version?
Apologies for the multiple questions, I’m new to this site and not quite as familiar. Thank you so much for your help!
Hello, thank you for your questions.
1. Yes you can make any page as homepage including blog template, for example this one – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/journal/blog-minimal/
2. Widgets are available only in footer, you can add below “load more” only with editing PHP code of template
3. This section of Themeforest wordpress themes is only for personal websites (.com, .org and etc) with your own hosting and not for wordpress.com service, be careful before buying
Feel free to ask me any questions about the theme.
Thank you so much for the prompt response and helpful information!
Presale question. This appears like exactly what I have been looking for. Can I showcase my videos and front end users can select the video to buy and add in cart to pay with Paypal?
Hello, wordpress doesn’t have this system but you can try with Woocommerce – free shopping plugin, but test it before with free theme, maybe this is not what you are exactly looking for.
Hi,
This is the case: your theme comes with the pro version of Advanced Custom Fields. But the plugin needs to be updated (because of a conflict with Yoast SEO and Gutenberg). But if I try to update the plugin it gets replaced by the free version of ACF and the site no longer works.
Any tips on how to handle this? The only way my site now doesn’t break is if I turn off Yoast SEO which I don’t want to do.
Hope you can answer this. Not sure if I need to renew my support for this… please let me know if I do!
thanks, Joke
Hello, thank you for your message.
You can download new version of Plexx theme in your Themeforest > Downloads page, extract theme from ZIP archive, open Plexx/Plugins folder and install “advanced-custom-fields-pro.zip” from there or you can send me your URL and admin access to my support email and I will update plugin.
oh thanks! Will do that! I’ll let you know if this fixes the issue.
YES!!! problem solved! Thanks so very very much!!
Hey! First of all, great theme, love it!
I do have some questions though:- 1. Can there be 2 separate sections with light/dark theme on the same website?
- 2. Can I make a splash page with links to the 2 separate sections, as showcased in your demo with the initial Light/Dark screen? i.e. https://preview.themeforest.net/item/plexx-portfolio-and-video-gallery-for-agency-and-studio/full_screen_preview/20492090
Cheers!
Hello, thank you for your questions.
1. There is no option to make the same website with light and dark theme together but technically you can add ”?color_scheme=dark-scheme” (or light-scheme) in the end of URL for example https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/journal/ and https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/journal/?color_scheme=dark-scheme
But any link in menu or text without this parameter will lead to your default color scheme
2. Unfortunately no such template in the theme but you can try to use some plugin from Wordpress repository or just make simple HTML page with images like I did – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/index.html
Another way to make it – create a page with 2 Columns portfolio template for example and hide navigation menu and footer there with Custom CSS.
Got it! Thanks for the quick reply!
Great, thanks
Hey, I am getting this warning message on front end of my website:
“Warning: array_search() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/melk/public_html/abc.com/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/google_fonts/functions.php on line 65”
Is there any fix to this? Thanks in advance
Hello, thank you for your message.
First of all check your theme version, the latest is 2.6 and you can update it, second is PHP version, it must be 7 or higher, and finally you can disable all plugins and keep only Portfolio installer and Avdanced Custom filelds then check again.
Hi, very nice theme!
A few questions: - Is it possible to change the navigation menu’s background color on separate pages, without changing a page’s entire background?
- Is it possible to start a page with a fullscreen slider using WPBakery or other editor content? I’m trying to achieve something similar like your “The ability to destroy.” preview page, but right now the navigation bar blocks things from becoming completely fullscreen.
Thank you!
Hello, thank you for your message.
- yes it is possible but only with Custom CSS, you can send me URL of page you want and I will give you code for the page’s menu and show how to do it manually
- I’m not sure if it possible, I’ve never tested it. Maybe we can try to solve it with Custom CSS too if you give me URL of page.
Confirming here that everything was worked out nicely through e-mail. Thanks for the help!
Hello guys!
When I created my portfolio I thought i was doing something wrong because the URLs from my portfolio and portfolio items don’t match, but i’ve checked the theme preview and: Portfolio URL: https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/ Portfolio item URL: https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio-item/say-goodbye/ So if i remove the proyect name from URL it sends me to: https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio-item (broken layout and not customizable).
This is not usable nor seofriendly… can you make a patch or give a solution? I tried creating a custom page named ’/portfolio-item’ but it doesnt work…
Nice theme anyway 
Thanks!!
Hello, thank you for your message.
Yes it’s how wordpress works, you cannot create “portfolio-item” page until you are using “portfolio-item” as slug, but you can change slug in options to “portfolio-project” for example but again you cannot create a page with same URL.
You can only customize the page “portfolio-item” by editing “archive-portfolio-item.php” file in theme folder.
Is there an option for “Hide Hover Info” to only hide the titel and not the categorie?
Hello, thank you for your message.
There is no such options but you can paste this code to Theme Options > Custom CSS to hide titles only:
.portfolio-item:hover h2 {
opacity: 0;
}
Thanks a lot. How is the css class called to hide only the categorie and the big plus icon?
For categories it’s:
.portfolio-item:hover .item-filter
and for plus:
.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
