Categories at the top of the portfolio page

you can move the categories on an individual project page to the top of that page, but I suspect that’s not what you’re after. A category menu at the top of the page isn’t currently possible – all you can use for this is the project categories widget.

Please post feature requests on our ideasboard. Thanks.

The idea is to get this plugin to do what Canva’s portfolios do best… In essence, putting the emphasis on image display through the convenience of the Lightbox, and providing an easy way to filter through many projects.

I’ll post this idea in the ideasboard. Thank you.

You will be able to add lightbox functionality via a plugin in 1.1.0. You can add category links via widget.

Hello James,

I’ve being trying the project category widget to display my categories at the top of the page. It does work, but it isn’t pretty. The categories are displayed one per row. Is there any way to display all categories in just one row? And how do you remove the categories from the bottom of the portfolio? … Could you provide some guidelines as to how to recreate something similar to the SELECT A CATEGORY found in Woothemes’ Canvas portfolios.

Thank you,
Hugo

If it’s not pretty, then style it ?? This is a plugin remember, styling should come from the theme. You should be able to arrange the cats in a line by using display: inline-block;.

You can remove the categories from the single project page by editing the meta template. projects-by-woothemes/templates/single-project/meta.php. Just remember to copy it to your child theme as described here: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/editing-projects-templates-safely/ so that you can update safely in future.

Hi James,

Sorry if my questions are basic but I’m trying to regenerate what I used to do effortlessly with my Canvas theme, using any tutorial that I can find… I finally managed to remove the categories after pasting meta.php (erased of its content) inside of my Child theme directory. And I recreated “Select a category” using simple HTML text and linking each category to their project-category pages. I really thank you for your input on this, you saved me a lot of time and trial errors.

Thanks

That will do the trick ?? It wont update dynamically but it is a solution. Glad your figured this out. Please go ahead and mark as resolved.

Hi James,

I have marked this topic as resolved a while back… Nevertheless, would you mind pasting the modified code for the meta.php file that will remove the categories and allow automatic updates?

Thanks

Hey,

If you’ve moved the modified template to your child theme then you will be able to perform automatic updates without worrying about anything breaking ??

Done!

Thank you very much.

No problem!
