Hey David,
a .htaccess redirect is a possible solution, yet it is relatively inflexible since you’d have to modify the root file every time you add a new redirect. A simpler back-end solution would be to use the “link” project format, as I mentioned above; let me explain: in Ikebana, there are several possible formats any post or a project can have: “standard”, “image”, “video”, “quote”, “link”, etc. Each of them is pre-styled and optimized for a specific type of content, as follows from their names (you can read more about the post formats in WordPress on their official website here). You can set the format for the particular project from the “Format” settings box while in the editor mode for that project. Now, if a portfolio project has a “link” format, it becomes simply a link to another URL, which I suppose is exactly what you need; “link” format projects can also have thumbnails, so all you need to do is to change the format on existing projects from “standard” to “link” and instead of the content input the URL of the category (e.g. http://thedickers.co.uk/balimonster/category/family-2/carolyn/). You can read more about the post formats on pages 8-9 of the theme manual.
Regarding the dropdown menu issue you’ve mentioned: could you please clarify?
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey David,
the submenus are styled by the code in the “Top Menus” section (line 278 and below) of the “style.css” file (located in the theme’s root folder); the styling is primarily executed via the “#nav-primary ul ul” declaration. In case you have some specific things you’d like to change about the submenus, you can give me more detailed information (and a URL of the page in question would also be useful), and I will help you with the code or at least try to provide a direction.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey David,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
Let me clarify if I got your question right: you’d like to create several categories and display links to category archives on the portfolio grid. If that is indeed the case, you can use the “link” project type to achieve this. This format supports thumbnails, so you can add images to the boxes; each can link to a specific category page (in the case of theme demo, e.g. https://satoristudio.net/ikebana/category/tutorials/). You can read more about the “link” project format on page 9 of the theme manual. Please let me know if this is going in the right direction!
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Dan,
regarding your first question: you can simply leave the main content area blank while in the page editor mode for the pages where you’d like the original template to show – without any text in the content area, the template will only show the grid. Or am I missing the point here?
You’re right, that is not supposed to happen, yet I can see that the screenshot does not correspond to the website link you provided above (http://www.codecape.com/new_site). Have you altered the template in any way and is it still topical? I’ve tested the modified portfolio page on the theme demo, and it seems to be working fine with respect to the page margins.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Csaba,
regarding your questions:
1). I’m note sure I understood exactly what you would like to achieve (the individual project template already displays the project title); could you please explain further? In any case, if you want to customize the appearance of the individual project page, the template file to modify is the “single-project.php” file.
3). The project type icons do show up on portfolio tag pages, e.g. here in the demo. Could you please clarify?

I’ve been testing the modified template file for portfolio pages which should display ordinary posts instead or projects, and it is not behaving well enough. It still needs some work on it, since it hasn’t been envisaged in the theme originally (I’ve separated the posts and the projects and their respective collective view pages templates on purpose – to enhance the usability of the theme); in the meanwhile, I can recommend using the Post Type Converter plugin which was created specifically for such situations – to convert the posts into projects. Thank you for your patience!
P.S. in case you are familiar with php, I can provide information as to where the main portfolio grid query is located, you might be able to find something that I’ve missed so far.
Best,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Simon and J,

I’ll include the feature into the next theme update, thanks for bringing this up.Best,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Elliott,
sure, it’s a matter of rearranging in the “taxonomy-tagportfolio.php” file: please download this archive, unzip it, and upload the contained custom file into the theme folder, replacing the existing file.
Please let me know if it works as you intended.

By design Ikebana has two segregated post types, of which the classic posts are displayed on the blog page, and the projects are displayed on the page with “Portfolio” template. They both, however, use the same set of php files to display the content, which is why in principle the’re quite interchangeable, given some php customizations. Could you please tell me what is the purpose of displaying the posts on portfolio grid, and do you wish to display only posts (for example, after importing content from another blog) or both posts and projects on portfolio pages? I will prepare a custom template file for you once I have more background information.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio
