Illustratr theme: remove text from thumbnails?

    Hi all,

    in the Illustratr theme, is it possible to remove the text that appears below each thumbnail on a portfolio page?

    To explain: In the website http://alexandrarosakis.wordpress.com/new-animation/ there is the portfolio page called “animation” with thumbnails from videos. When you click on a thumbnail you get the page with the respective embedded video. On this page I have added some text below the video to give some info on what it is about etc. This text appears also below the thumbnail on the overview page. Is it possible to remove it?

    Thanks a lot!

    If it is possible then it will require a custom design upgrade that’s included in the Premium bundle of upgrades and cannot be separately purchased by those who registered accounts after September 1st, 2014.

    Hi there, to remove the blurbs from below your portfolio items, try adding the attribute display_content to your current shortcode, and set it to false like this:

    [portfolio include_type=animation columns=3 showposts=10 display_content=false]

    Let me know if that does the trick – I tested it and it should work. Thanks!

    Hi kathrynwp, it did work, thanks a million! It looks much better now.

    I wonder whether there is also a way to make the font of the title below the video thumbnail smaller. The first title “Das Ostereierproblem” is too long and the last letter goes on the line below, which is not so nice.

    In the same context, is it possible to also remove the text of the project type? Since that entire page is on animation, it is not necessary to have “animation” noted under every thumbnail.

    Great!

    Changing font sizes is something you can do with Custom Design.

    This CSS should do it:

    .portfolio-entry .portfolio-entry-header .portfolio-entry-title {
     font-size: 90%;
}

    In the same context, is it possible to also remove the text of the project type?

    Try removing this bit from your shortcode:

    include_type=animation

    Hi kathrynwp, thanks a lot for your reply. I tried both but with no luck.

    Regarding the first point, I am not quite sure where I am supposed to place the CSS code .portfolio-entry etc. In the page “animation” or in the actual project? Both did not work, so perhaps I am supposed to add some kind of brackets?

    Regarding the second point, removing the shortcode (in the portfolio page) did not have any effect.

    But perhaps you meant that I can only do these changes if I upgrade to custom design? If so, please disregard my comments above.

  • kathrynwp · Staff ·

    Adding the custom CSS would require the Custom Design upgrade.

    For the shortcode, I still see this:

    [portfolio include_type=animation columns=3 showposts=10 display_content=false]

    Try this instead:

    [portfolio columns=3 showposts=10 display_content=false]

  • kathrynwp · Staff ·

    Correction, my apologies. Try changing this:

    [portfolio include_type=animation columns=3 showposts=10 display_content=false]

    to this:

    [portfolio include_type=animation columns=3 showposts=10 display_content=false display_types=false]

    Let me know if that does the trick.

    This is brilliant, many thanks!
    Is it possible to remove the project type also on the individual project pages? I tried my luck with [display_types=false] but there is something missing (if it is at all possible that is). OK, that should be my last question :-)

    You’re welcome!

    Is it possible to remove the project type also on the individual project pages?

    That would require custom CSS. The shortcode is only used to generate a display of multiple portfolio items – it doesn’t apply to the individual project pages.

    With Custom Design, this CSS would hide the project type on individual projects:

    .portfolio-entry-meta a[rel="tag"] {
     display: none;
}

    OK, all clear now.

    Thanks kathrynwp for your support!
