categories as filters within menu
-
Hi @arminunruh hope you are well!
I am aiming to have the page 'Projects' show all of the projects and the sub items in the menu which are currently the categories 'Film' and 'Experience' act as filters of the Projects. However currently, when clicking any of these categories, the pages appear to be empty.

I am sure there is an integration for this but don't seem to find it, within the project thumbnails/category settings, would you kindly be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much for your help!

Is every project assigned to the desired category via Projects > Quick Edit?
-
hey there!
in wp-admin/
when you go to categories - go to the film category by clicking on it like here:in here, you will see the gridder.
here, add a project thumbnailgrid element (more → project thumbnailgrid)
in the thumbnailgrid modal, choose the correct category of projects to showthe category pages dont have default content, you need to add it yourself like i just described
sorry for the late response

Hey Armin! Awesome thanks so much :)
Was able to add the different for the different categories. Just to clarify, in the project page, when I try to add both Film and Experience, it looks like I can only add one OR the other, however the projects page should show all. What am I doing wrong?https://www.j-i.live/category/film/
Thanks again for your help as always!

Answered my own question Armin, thanks anyway. The only thing I wonder is, do projects always need to be added individually as I have now to make it work or is there a way to do this in bulk/through thumbnail grids so that it is easier for my client to upload content in the future?
-
yes its better to use a thumbnailgrid, because it always displays all thumbnails of the chosen category
-
yes sorry what I am asking is why are the 'Film' projects and 'Experience' projects leaving gaps between each other (2 thumbnails) and in different rows?
It seems like with thumbnail grids I can only select one category or the other and therefore don't understand how to have ALL projects smoothly visible at once?
Do you mind explaining what I am doing wrong?
Thanks! -
Hi @arminunruh @mariusjopen sorry to chase with this, is the above at all possible to solve?
Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
