Hey there,
Don’t edit the plugin files directly. You can use Hooks and template files instead.

In the plugin directory easy-photography-portfolio/public/templates you’ll find the full template structure – the front-end-ish part of the plugin. That’s what you’ll want to familiarize yourself with.

To customize any of the templates, just simply copy it over to wp-content/themes/your-theme/photography-portfolio/filename.php and customize the file.

For example, to modify the description area, you’d copy the contents of this file: https://github.com/justnorris/easy-photography-portfolio/blob/master/public/templates/single/description.php

to: /wp-content/themes/your-theme/photography-portfolio/single/description.php

Then you can modify the description.php to your liking.

Hey there,
You’ll have to customize Twenty Seventeen theme to achieve that.
I wrote a blog post about how to achieve that with video headers: https://justnorris.com/custom-page-header-video/

I think something similar has to be done for full-height images.

Found the issue and fixed it. 1.1.8 update should be available shortly.

Ok thanks, you can revert your site back to normal. I’ll see what I can do.

Sure, I’ll check it out now.

Whoa, that’s interesting. Is there somewhere I can see the issue live? I need to have a look at the source to do anything for this issue.

Hey there,
Can you post a link to the issue? Or maybe a screenshot? At the moment I don’t really understand the issue.

Hi Justin,
I can’t make the plugin support every theme out of the box. It should actually go the other way around – themes should support plugins.

Anyway – I looked into this a bit more, and as it turns out this happens because WordPress doesn’t detect “Easy Photography Portfolio” page as the homepage. It’s a bug in WordPress with a long history.

Long story short – after I replied to you on Facebook, I decided to see what’s the deal with WP headers, – turns out they’re not that complicated. You can make a child theme (if you don’t know how – there are plugins that can do that for you), and then just use the blog post I just made to enable video headers in all portfolio pages: https://justnorris.com/custom-page-header-video/

If you’re willing to throw money at the problem – buy my Horizon Portfolio – it’s built with Easy Photography Portfolio, and it has video support in the welcome slider (you can preview how the welcome screen works in my Luka Portfolio theme)

Good luck with your site!

If you’ve limited blog posts to 6 per page – that might be the cause of that.
I’ll make sure that the portfolio entries are unlimited in the next update.

Hi John,
I took a quick glance at the bug, but I really can’t tell what’s the issue. This is the first time I’m seeing this kind of issue with the lightbox plugin. Maybe open a support topic with Zerif Lite theme – maybe the authors of that theme have seen this kind of behavior before.

Thank you for the review ??

To be honest – I have no idea ??
I’ve never tested that. Let me know if you find out ??

Hi Francesco,
I’ll consider doing that in a future update. Though – these days with HTTPS the benefit of loading fewer files is pretty small.

Hi Jade,
How do they not show up exactly? Maybe you have duplicate category slugs? For example, if you have weddings category slug in your blog categories and weddings slug in your portfolio categories – WordPress might get confused. I’m just guessing at this point. If you need help – you need to provide as much details as possible. Which categories work, which don’t, how many you have, what hosting are you using, etc. Also – how does “not showing up” exactly present itself? Is it a 404 page? An empty page?

Hey there,
Sorry for the confusion. I wrote that comment in the first iteration and haven’t updated it. The directory is now called (and always will be) “photography-portfolio”.

So you can copy, for example:
/easy-photography-portfolio/public/templates/archive/layout.php
to
/your-theme/photography-portfolio/archive/layout.php

One thing to keep in mind – at the moment I don’t have any fancy template file version detection. You have to keep an eye out for changes in the changelog. Or use actions when you can.

For example, if you only need to append/prepend at a certain template part – you might find this hook useful: https://github.com/justnorris/easy-photography-portfolio/blob/master/Photography_Portfolio/Frontend/Template.php#L32
