Portfolio Grid page template – checkboxes always checked

    Using Virtue 2.3.3, the excellent free version.

    When I edit a page that uses the Portfolio Grid page template, the two checkboxes “Display Item Work Types” and “Display Item Excerpt” always “come back” checked, even if I uncheck them before clicking “Publish” or “Update”. The correct (unchecked) values seem to be stored in the database as is evidenced when I navigate to the page. But – if I do some other editing of the page and forget to uncheck those two checkboxes again, then they will accidently be set to the wrong values.

    Here is what I do:

    1. vanilla WordPress + Virtue free site
    2. add Portfolio Type “Race”
    3. add Portfolio Item of type “Race”
    4. add Page, using page template “Template Portfolio Grid”
    5. uncheck Display Item Work Types
    6. uncheck Display Item Excerpt
    7. Publish
    8. observe that both Display Item Work Types and Display Item Excerpt are checked

    FYI, I installed the Virtue Toolkit 2.6 update and the problem is still there.

    I don’t know if the Virtue Toolkit 2.6 update was supposed to have fixed this (its release notes seem to indicate something along those lines) or if an update to the theme itself is needed, so I just wanted to let you know…

    Its both, The metaboxes are moving to the plugin so the plugin had to be updated but it won’t take effect until the theme is updated. (which I released a new version last night just has to move through the theme review team on www.ads-software.com.)

    Great – thanks.

    On a somewhat related note… can you please explain/elaborate very briefly on how the Virtue Toolkit and the Virtue Theme “play together”. For example, assuming one has the toolkit installed, which page-contact.php is actually being “used” by a running site?

    Well once the newest update is released it will be the page content in the plugin. The theme won’t have a page contact anymore. But I’ve do it in such a way that you wouldn’t be able to tell from the admin or the site. It will look the same.

    Basically www.ads-software.com theme review is now not allowing theme authors to add there own contact forms to the themes, same with metaboxes. When this theme was released a year and a half ago the review admin approved it and now it wouldn’t be. So In keeping up with current guidelines and review admins I’ve moved those items out of the theme and into the plugin. But I wanted to give everyone a chance to update the plugin before they update the theme. That way there isn’t a confusing moment when the contact page template isn’t an option. So I’ve had the contact form set in the plugin for a little while and it’s set to take over once the current theme version is set to 2.3.5

    Hope that makes sense.

    I think it does – thanks.

    I’ll install the theme update as soon as it becomes available and mark this as resolved – how long does the “www.ads-software.com theme review” normally take, approximately?

    Ha, it very much depends. Can be hours and can be weeks.

    Not as long as new theme reviews though. Those take months.

    The system use to be much faster but do to some recent changes it’s pretty slow now. You can get involved here: https://make.www.ads-software.com/themes/

    Wow, didn’t know that…
    I thought maybe you also make it available on your web site, so I looked for a download section on your site but couldn’t find any, and the download links for the free versions on your site points to www.ads-software.com. I’ll be patient and await the review team’s stamp of approval…
