Hi Tahir,

Yes the LinkedIn field is in the Social Profiles in the THeme options and shows at the top of the page BUT thats not what im asking about.

On a blog post there is a sharing options for the post at the start of the article, the options are facebook, google, email, twitter, love it, and Pinterest. I want to change the Pinterest to Linked in here. When I create a new blog post in the Main options there is a checkbox that says:
“Include social sharing – Check this box to show social sharing icons on the detail page.”

But there is no option that I can see that controls which options show in the blog post social sharing. All I want is to change the default option where it shows Pinterest and change to Linkedin. How can I do this? If there is code I need to adjust can you let me know the page and line?

Maybe I should post this here as my request was missed on the last update. On the Portfolio items you have the option to link the thumbnail AND title to multiple options such as external URL. For the next release can you please include this for blog posts as well? Currently you can put a custom URL for the thumbnail only, but I would really like the option to be added to the title as well.

Im guessing its not too hard since you already have the functionality set, it just needs to be applied to the blog post type as well.

Thanks!

Anytime! Its the least I can do for all the help you guys give me. 🙂

Hey Ed,

Thanks for all the responses. I think im just going to switch from using a portfolio item to a blog post. Can I have you add 1 feature though? You can set a custom link for the title for the portfolio, but can you also make that an option for the Blog posts? Right now switching to a blog post fixes my problems being able to use the infinite scroll and I style it close enough to how I want but right now I have the thumbnails going to an external link and the title going to the blog post, then the client would have to client on a button to take them to the link I want them to go to.

Here is what I have:

The using the hotels as a portfolio option is 100% perfect BUT being that I need the infinite scroll and you cant do that within the portfolio widget then this is my 2nd option. BUT I would be eternally grateful if you can add the same external linking options on the blog title too!

Thanks Ed!

No worries ed, should be all fixed after my solution. Enjoy the holidays.

Yeah I get the same thing with any minify activated. I had given up on trying to use a minify plugin with this theme as when activated the entire front-end is broken. Even with the settings the same as above its broken.

Hey Guys,

Not sure why there hasnt been any response form support but I just came across the solution by accident. It seems like there must be some kind of new plugin that needs to be installed. In the admin panel if you click on Appearance>Install Plugins page you will see “Envato WordPress Toolkit” You need to install and set it up with your Envato account info. After you do that the message we are seeing should be gone.

Actually I get the same message after upgrading to v1.2. In my admin panel header it displays. What does it mean and will it affect any future updates? How to get rid of it?

“Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘sf_envato_toolkit_credentials_admin_notices’ not found or invalid function name in /home/ioc/public_html/rumble.industryofcool.co/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 429”

Thanks

Also Ed, Is there anything I can change/replace in the code that would allow the portfolio items 1 by 1 instead of waiting to load everything before it displays?

Right now its show after all items are loaded.
logic: Load 1-30 = display item

Most common method would be to load 1 at a time i would think
logic: load1=display-item, load2=display-item, load3=display-item, load4=display-item, ect…

does that make sense? Is that possible to do with this theme? I have seen so many out there where that just happens naturally. Im not sure why this portfolio widget has to wait for everything to load before it can display anything.

Hey Ed,

Thanks for the response. Good to finally have someone get what im talking about.

“Most of the loading time is actually taken up by pinterest. Do you have a plugin that adds this?” What do you mean by that? What plugin are you talking about? Do you have a link? I know the portfolio kinda has a pinterest feel but a little confused by what you mean.

THanks for the tip about Minify. Strange though how using W3 Cache and using Max CDN as the image distribution network actually made things slower. I de-activated W3 Cache and things are running a little better.

Also you can see here that even 12 items loads slows

Granted its faster than my bangkok page because its 12 instead of 100+ but its still way too slow.

Hi Tahir,

Yes I know I can turn pagination on but I dont want to. I’m just asking if there is a way for the Portfolio to function like how the blog does. You know how the blog seems like an infinite scroll of items that get loaded at different points when you scroll down?

The reason why I dont want to turn pagination on is because I am using portfolio items as each hotel. If I have 100 hotels and 5 neighborhoods, not all the filter categories show up because some of the hotels are listed on other pages. That causes great confusion when using the filters with my users.

But that aside my point earlier is that the portfolio items dont display until all the images are done loading. I want to know if there is a tweak or hack or code replacement to any file that will allow the items to show one-by-one as they load OR maybe show the portfolio items without the images loaded yet.

In the empty loading space when I move my mouse around I can see some of the links from the portfolio items but none of the graphics are shown.

Is there any chance Ed can join this conversation, he has been super helpful and understands what im usually talking about on the themeforest site?

Hi Tahir,

Thank you for the reply back. I understand that there are too many images on there. The problem is that not even the first will display until the last one is finished. The other images load on the page that are not associated with the portfolio widget.

Is there any way to get a “lazy load” or “infinite scroll” to be applied to the portfolio widget? Or at least have items load in order instead of an “all or nothing” approach?

Thank you.

[wademd]

Also, I tried using a CDN to load images faster but its still super slow. I need to be able to show 100 portfolio items at a time but it takes a long time because it waits to show EVERYTHING at the same time instead of loading 1 by 1. I dont recall having that issue when I was using pinpoint.

Any way to fix that?

Thanks
