Ok sorry. A little bit of a brain-freeze there.
I swapped out the layout-manager.php with the one you provided above.

I have tested it several times with re-dating several entries and I am very happy to report that it works.

Fantastic!
Thank you for your attention to this.

Ok…I was tied up with another job for a bit, now I am back on this.

Thanks for the obove attachment. However I am unsure what to do with it.
And does it over-ride the code posted in reply #2810?

Thanks.

[dvhughes]

Ok…I think I have narrowed down the issue.

As stated above, I swapped out the code in line 450 as suggested. (It is now the shorter code you posted in reply #2782)

The portfolio entries (in the portfolio templates) load as one would expect, last first, when inside a defined portfolio template. Beautiful. No problems there.

However, the “recent work” portfolio shortcode in the home page seems to disregard post times and loads entries at random. (If a tag term is specified, it loads those tags at random.)

Maybe there is something amiss in the homepage code that I unwittingly screwed up?
Here is that code:

[segment][show_post_snippets post_type="portfolio" number_of_columns=4 post_count=7 image_size='medium' excerpt_count=100 display_text="true" show_excerpt="true" hide_thumbnail="false"  post_type="portfolio" intro_text="

Our Recent Work

Here is a small sample of our most recent work. Be sure to check out our entire portfolio to get a better understanding of what we can create just for you."][/segment]

If the entries in the general portfolio templates loaded randomly, I don’t think I would mind that much. But a “Recent Work” shortcode should definitely be loading the most recent first.

I know that development is an ongoing process and I do not expect solutions overnight.
Your work is genuinely appreciated.

If you want to still create a separate template with category filter, give me couple of days time and I will be able to get something done wherein you can specify the categories for a portfolio template. Since this is a popular request, I can make this process a little easier for everyone with your help. Hope you can wait.

Christmas comes early!
This would be absolutely fantastic.
I would be happy to help out anyway I can.

Any reason why portfolio item thumbs would not be loading chronologically on a page? (Newest entry thumbs in the top left, oldest bottom right.) It seems random. Absolutely maddening.

Suggestions?

[dvhughes]

Unfortunately, my client has an extensive portfolio with many categories. The best solution I had was to isolate category families and create a portfolio page for each.

I read the above thread several times while researching a solution and it is now in use for the home page “recent work” portfolio previews, but it is a clumsy fix for a large category family.

So there is nothing I can add to an existing “…sorted-full-width.php” that would only call specific categories? That is too bad.

I will ponder my options some more.

Thanks for your input.

And finally…Can I now import the Outage font into the Rev Slider? I tried just calling it up in the “Edit CSS” tab, but I know I must need an @import line. Can you help me out here or would you like me to start a new thread?

Resolved

[dvhughes]

Ok…I finally figured out what was going on with Firefox.
The fonts do not load in a subdomain. However, they appear when the browser is pointed to the directory. Chrome and Safari work either way.
Hopefully this issue will resolve itself when I migrate the site.

[dvhughes]

Yes..I knew there must have been a step I missed or a font name that I neglected to swap out.
I really thought I got them all.
I also thought that perhaps that I may have had a conflict with editing the style.css directly and then also in the Custom Styles tab. It was a bit of a cluster****.

Due to the fact that the above tutorial is using a particular font and all of the instances need to be swapped out, the steps might be better served with a screenie of the code with all of the font-family changes highlighted as well as the URLS.

Also, I think I may have gotten a little confused with the instructions in the style.css editor. I liked that they were there, and they were quite clear, but being an intermediate and working with a brand new theme can lead to bold but pointless .css editing when something is not working after a few hours. I ended up going back and forth several times and wasn’t sure which code was the true cause of the problem. You may want to add another /* line reinforcing the Custom CSS Tab override. The appearance of redundancy can cause confusion. (Did for me anyway.)

Hope that helps.

Finally, two things:…
I would like to stop pulling Weston from your site. I should just be able to use the working Outage code and swap out URLS and font-families, correct?

And finally…Can I now import the Outage font into the Rev Slider? I tried just calling it up in the “Edit CSS” tab, but I know I must need an @import line. Can you help me out here or would you like me to start a new thread?

Again..THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
If there was a 6th star to give, I would gladly give it.

[dvhughes]

All good to go. Firefox is now cooperating.

So was the problem in the Custom CSS or the Extinct Child style.css?
(I cannot see reply #2688, so I suspect it was not for me.)

Really appreciate you getting in there for me and resolving it.
I have a lot of patience and can usually figure this stuff out on my own, but this was truly dumbfounding me and felt I had to ask for ask for help.

Thanks again.

[dvhughes]

Firefox really doesn’t like importing these fonts.
Works with Chrome and Safari.

[dvhughes]

Did you do that or did I? (I suspect you did, but I was monkeying with it just now and got frustrated and stopped.)

Its working now and I really have no idea why.

Can you explain what I missed?
