Odd I didn’t get notice of your reply Nick….but thanks for the response. I just emailed with reference to this posting.

@stephencottontail we can leave this one intact and forget the other one. Thanks.

@sterndata I’ve tried the default editor, the WP Editor plugin, and a couple others…same problem of trying to change the height. The WP Editor plugin has a setting to change the height, but it doesn’t work anymore. Distraction free works, but the editor still cannot be resized.

But I do see now (which escaped me) that the more content you add, the more height the editor expands.

As @wimgbax tried, I did this too and now I am able to drag the editor down for more height.

sorry for late reply…. I am not getting notifications of responses. The 10 widgets I am referring to is stated under the “Featured Summary” and the “Amazing Free Features” list on this page:

Hi @bcworkz …thanks for the reply. Your suggestion is one I did before but it did not work. However, what is really odd is that I tried it again after seeing what you posted with the suggested code, and now it worked.

Now I have just 3 more warnings from the NS theme check to try and find a solution for fixing. I will work on these ones but if no luck, I will post them in a new topic.

Anyway, thanks for the reply and solution.
Cheers!

That was a big help! Thank you for providing the information….and yes, it worked on my end too! Thanks again!

I’m building the site locally on my computer via XAMPP, so it’s not live for access. Screenshots, sure if needed.

I will rephrase everything here:

1. create a Project Type, such as “Free Themes”
2. Have a few portfolio items created in that project type (category)

Now, in the theme I duplicated the archive.php file with a few modifications and named it archive-jetpack-portfolio.php as I am supposed to.

Now I go to the main menu in the admin and from the “Project Type” dropdown group, I drag the “Free Themes” project type into my main menu then click Save. Wheb you go to the front of the site and click on that new menu link to the Project Type of Free Themes, it uses the default archive.php file, not the archive-jetpack-portfolio.php one. The permalink that is generated by this is: www.mysite.com/project-type/free-themes/

However, if you use a menu link or manually type in the browser as www.mysite.com/portfolio/ then it uses the archive-jetpack-portfolio.php template file.

I’m wanting a custom archive template file for the “Project Type” menu link because I will have two different project types in my main site menu and won’t be using the /portfolio/ linking to the portfolio (which will load all).

So the project type link creates a different permalink than simply making a custom link to the “portfolio”. So the project type is using the archive.php file, but the portfolio permalink uses the custom archive-jetpack-portfolio.php template.

Hopefully that makes sense….

Thanks for the response.

It works when you go to the /portfolio/ link, but if you drop in the project type menu link in your menu, then it uses the default archive.php

Basically going to /portfolio/ it uses the override template, but not when you link to a project type.

I’m rebuilding my theme site to use a blank menu item on the main menu as “Themes” with submenu links, one going to a project type “Free Themes” and the other project type “Pro Themes”. These are two menu items I dragged from the Projects Types menu group, but these use the archive.php. I’m assuming project types don’t use the archive-jetpack-portfolio.php template.

It appears to be that way…even the twitter and facebook pages for jch have been inactive since late 2016. I just purchased the pro version (although for Joomla), and there has been no response for at least 2 days. Their website docs have not even been updated as screenshots do not match the current version. Starting to rethink about the purchase.

As for the free one here relating to WP, I hope your issue gets solved, but looks like support might be non-existent as well.

Good to hear…however, is there a time-line of when this will be available? I’m building my website and almost finished but it’s more than a week away, I will unfortunately need to find an alternate theme.

UPDATE: Today, I tried many other masonry methods, all work but again, each method still had each post position as left: 0px from the masonry init script that was used.

I also put my code into the Twenty Sixteen theme to test it there…it worked!
I put it into Twenty Seventeen, it worked also!

So as it appears, there is something in the twenty fifteen theme that is affecting the layout to make each post item left:0px;

UPDATE: Got it to work!

In the twentysixteen_setup, the add_theme_support for a custom logo is this:

add_theme_support( 'custom-logo', array(
	'height'      => 240,
	'width'       => 240,
	'flex-height' => true,
) );

So in my child theme, I did this:

function twentysixteen_cts_logo() {
   add_theme_support( 'custom-logo', array(
	'width'       => 300,
	'height'      => 60,
        'flex-width'  => true,
	'flex-height'  => true,
   ) );
}
add_action ('after_setup_theme', 'twentysixteen_cts_logo', 11);

hmmm done that but when I test a new logo, it shows the parent theme’s default crop size.

I find it odd that there are tons of tutorials on adding support to a theme, but nothing to show how to override parent theme add_support functions.

In the 2016 theme, the custom logo is in the theme setup:

	add_theme_support( 'custom-logo', array(
		'height'      => 240,
		'width'       => 240,
		'flex-height' => true,
	) );

Basically I did my own in the child theme but it wasn’t working, so in my functions.php, I created a new theme setup and then did my own add_theme_support for the custom logo…this time it worked. However, doing this, I lost th eother setup support elements like menu locations etc, so I had to add that to the child theme setup as well and then got it back with my added menu location.
