Hi, Does frontend submission supported?

Hello, if you mean a page builder plugin like Elementor, yes it supported

Hello we’re using elementor and the portfolio for youtube videos doesn’t have the left and right buttons. Is it because it’s youtube videos? I see on the demo site that you have vimeo and that there are left and arrow buttons

Hello, please check in Theme Options if the theme has “URLs for Video Lightbox” switcher in Portfolio section and it turned off

Worked now. I can see the arrows. Thanks

I have the Plexx Portfolio Module on this page. https://crazyfewfilms.com/newcff/work/

Video URLs are set to a Vimeo link for each portfolio item. When there was no featured image or image on hover, the video would open in a lightbox when I click on it.

But after adding images, only the image opens either in the lightbox, and only one image shows up on the portfolio item’s page (no video).

If you scroll down, the last 3-4 thumbnails have the video play in a lightbox on clicking the thumbnail.

How do I get the video to play in a lightbox on clicking the image each time?

Please advise. I have sent an email to support days ago, but no response.

Hi! I’m wondering if there is a way to decide where on the page the portfolio may show. I have some sliders/images that I want to put before and some after.

Hello, thank you for your message. In this case you can use Elementor plugin with Plexx portfolio widgets on the page, the Elementor is free – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/elementor-dark/

Thank you so much for getting back. I opened the Elementor editor but It doesn’t let me move the portfolio between widgets (applied with a shortcode in the page) – Any ideas? Many thanks!

It might be because of the page template Portfolio-..., could you please change the page template to Plexx Fullwidth Page?

Hello, I have a question. I want to adapt my header video from Vimeo to mobile… It won’t let me, nor does it do anything with CSS. My website: https://digitalnomad-agency.com/

I also see that the projects in my portfolio, when viewed on mobile…the titles that in their mobile version fade…on mobile they appear fixed…solution?

Hello, yes the header video is cropped on mobile, it’s difficult to change with CSS, maybe it will work if you make a separate block under the header with video only for mobile devices.

Yes titles are visible on mobile because we don’t have mouse over event there, you can hide them with this custom CSS code:

@media (hover: none) and (pointer: coarse) {
    .item-description h2, .item-filter {
        opacity: 0;
    }
}

Buenas, gracias por el el fuerzo, pero no funciona..entiendo que el codigo css lo tengo que insertar en la sección del portafolio no? o en el css general de la plantilla? Respeto el video en mobil, estaria bien que para futuras plantillas, y mas uan si es una plantilla para gente que realizamos video…tener un apartado adaptado a responsive, como la mayoria de plantillas del mercado.

Hello, the CSS code must be placed to Custom CSS field in the Theme Options

Hi There, I’m using the Elementor Basic Gallery but how do I change or remove the default gradient background? I’ve also sent a support email with a screen capture for reference. Thank You!

Hello, have you seen in Advanced > Background? If still nothing there please send me URL, I will take a look its code and try to figure out.

I can’t get the theme pages to install correctly, and I noticed the FAQ says to use Elementor. How has this theme been affected by the Elementor/WP dustup?

Hello, the Elementor plugin is just an additional option, you can use its free version but it’s possible to make almost all pages from the demo website without Elementor, the pages with Elementor word in the title only need this plugin – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/

You can use Wordpress Importer to install demo content, sometimes it works bas so please try few more times, also you can send me URL and admin access and I will install it for you.

Hi, I’m having technical difficulty as I am unable to change the theme identity logo. In the WP dash board, the “Theme Option” does not appear on the top bar next to ”+ New”. I’m using WP 6.5. Could you please respond to my support email or respond here? Thanks!

Hello, could you find it in the left sidebar as Option? Or you can just add this to your website address: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=acf-options

Okay I was able to install ACF and “Theme Option” appeared. Custom logo works but I also added the website URL in the “Logo Image URL” field which cause all sorts of errors. To avoid others running into the same issue, it should state “leave this blank if not using SVG image” instead of “URL for SVG image.” Otherwise the custom logo will not appear. Thanks for your help!

Sorry for the inconvenience. I will fix the logic in the theme update. This field is for SVG images only because WordPress doesn’t support SVG files natively

Is there a way to hide a portfolio item from appearing when the main portfolio is loaded on a certain type of device? For example, to show portfolio items A, B, C, E, F, and G on mobile, but A, B, D, and H on desktop?

Hello, unfortunately there is no such option and you can do it only with Custom CSS, for example to hide posts on mobile:

@media (max-width: 959px) {

.post-138.portfolio-item,
.post-95.portfolio-item,
.post-43.portfolio-item {
display:none;
}
}

Here you need post-id for each portfolio project which you can find in address bar of your browser while editing a project.

Also for hiding posts on desktop you can use:

@media (min-width: 960px) {

.post-122.portfolio-item,
.post-34.portfolio-item {
display:none;
}
}

Thanks so much! For some reason, this only worked if I removed the ”.portfolio-item” from the CSS you suggested.

It might affect some other pages, could you please send me url?

Hi,

I just bough it and i’m getting

The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme installation failed.

Please advice asap

M

Thanks. Where can i find the youtube style?

The youtube style portfolio you can find on the “Youtube Style” page in your admin panel after installing demo content or you can create it by yourself using the theme documentation or video tutorial – https://youtu.be/xpoYZSHAIX8

Hi, I am trying to change the default font in the menu using a custom font (elementor pro) but am not having any luck. I found a similar google font, buut wasn’t able to change to that either. Can you tell me what I should be using in my CSS panel?

Hello, have you tried to change it in Theme Options – Typography – Menu Font? It supports all existing Google fonts

Hola, acabo de comprar la plantilla y ya empieza a dar problemas…Quiero importar los demos y se cuelga cada vez que voy a importarlos des de wordpress. Que tengo que hacer gracias!

Vale, ahora he descubierto como hacerlo, la verdad que es poco intuitivo. Aun así, gracias por tu apoyo. Tengo una última duda, como puedo hacer que al pasar el cursos se reproduzca el previvo del video?

Hello, the demos are for reference and editing too with standard Wordpress tools.

For adding video preview as in example – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/youtube-style/ please open a project in Portfolio section, scroll to “Hover Animation” field in “General tab”, you can upload short MP4 video there

Gràcias!

Hello there, I just bought the theme. I really like it. But my problem is self hosted videos are very slow to load? Check this – https://vikiyo.com/

Hello, the self hosted video file on first project has very big size, you can compress it to smaller or use Youtube/Vimeo wich have faster delivery network

Thanks I just bought vimeo plus plan to upload videos.

Hi, is this a theme or a plugin? I need a Elementor widget where I can add various different video galleries without relationship. For example, on page X, I want to add youtube video links a, b, c and be able to change their order and completely different set up on another page. Is this possible? Thank you.

Hello, thank you for your question.

This is the theme for Wordpress, in Elementor example I used posts from portfolio section but you can also use Advanced Gallery Widget to get the same structure (just without categories, load more button and filters), there will be lightbox with a video on click.

About youtube, yes it’s possible to add both Youtube and Vimeo, I just found more beautiful videos on Vimeo.

Hello, thank you, just worried as products on here are non refundable. It will be a waste of money if it does not work for me. Do you even have a single example of a Youtube video I can see? Also, I understand about the Advanced Gallery Widget you mention, can I have two of these or as many as I want of these on one page? So separate blocks of videos? Finally. is there a backend demo you can provide by any chance?

Unfortunately I don’t have a demo but there is standard Elementor layout. Yes you can add many galleries on a page as separate blocks, I made an example – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/test-elementor-gallery/

Hello. Why can I find Elementor on my menu. It appears installed and active but won’t appear either on the side bar or as the “Edit with Elementor” button on my pages. I have desactivated all other extensions in case there was a conflict but still does not show up.

It’s Plexx Elementor extension version 1.3.0. And my WP is updated to version 6.4.1.

Plexx Elementor extension requires Elementor Free version plugin to be installed, please install it from Wordpress repository – Plugins > Add New and type Elementor there in search box

That’s it! Thanks a lot. Saved my day!

HI Mallini, Pre-sale question: Can the top-right social media sticky menu be removed/omitted? Thanks in advance!

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes for sure, you can show and hide it in the theme settings.

Hi Mallini, Are there any plans to update Plexx and Plexx Elementor to WP 6.6.1?

Hello, the latest version of the theme fully supports WP 6.6.1 and PHP 8.3, Elementor extension will be updated soon.

Amazing theme! Simplicity and beauty. How can I change the color of the hover text in a video portfolio? Is there a way to change only some of them, the ones that have a white background? If not, how to change all of them. Thank you!

Hello, thank you for your message. Yes you can change all of them in the page edit of admin panel, just scroll down to Colors tab and change Projects hover color. Also it’s possible to change colors only some of them with Custom CSS, you can send me the page URL to support email and I will give you CSS code.

Hi,

I have a question about your template Plexx>

I am looking for a template where I can have a video portfolio made from Youtube (/Vimeo) video links (opening lightbox with player on click, NOT a single page). Also I need to have a possibility to have different categories (for example: music video, short movie, commercial,....), with default category “all”.

So speaking of Pexx theme, I would like to create a page that combines: https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/ – Sorting ability (All – Branding – Industrial) https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/portfolio/youtube-style/?color_scheme=dark-scheme – Youtube/Vimeo video lightbox links content

Is this possible in the Plexx theme, or maybe some your another (all the themes are great btw!)?

I am little bit confused, because in the discusion: - jeewan asked “Hello, is filtration of the videos possible?” and you replied “Yes you can filter the videos the same way as images.”

- Stijn_vdh asked “Can the YouTube style portfolio sorted by category ?” and you replied “unfortunately there is no such option,”.

Thank you for your answer. Dave

Hello, thank you for your questions, I replied in email

Hello!

Is it possible to have a single video on the front page with a portfolio of videos in another page with this theme?

Thanks!

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes you can use fullwidth video for your frontpage like here – https://plexx.mallinidesign.com/fullscreen-video/, and add links to another pages at the top.

Hi, I have a pre-sale question. Is it possible to show a different menu (menu items) on a specific page ? Thanks. My best. Mathieu

Hello Mathieu, thank you for your question. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have this options but you can use a plugin, for example Conditional Menus, it’s free, or any other.

Ok, good ! Thanks for your fast answer !
