You can add portfolio items to a page with a sidebar using shortcodes:
[portfolio_posts columns=3 items=10]
As for a sidebar on the portfolio posts it’s not in the plans. What type of portfolio are you wanting to show that you would want a sidebar?

Have any updates been made to current versions of the Premium theme to include this functionality, re: sidebar in Portfolio grid and/or Portfolio pages?
If not, this would be a great feature for future releases.
Hi Ben,
This may not be a theme issue but my Google Analytics account was not seeing the tracking code on my site – even though it appeared in the source code?
Within GA it reported Tracking Code not installed. I entered my account code in the Virtue Theme Settings and if I then viewed the source code for my webpages the account code showed up.
The code generated by your theme differs from the example Google give for pasting into each webpage but I assume if this was an issue you or someone else would have spotted it before now? As a test I removed the code from the theme settings and added the GA code into the head.php (Child). GA now reports tracking as installed and is working.
No idea why it didn’t pick up the theme setting GA code. I’m still using the original GA not the Universal Analytics if that makes any difference.
I’m running VP 2.2.6 at the moment with a Child Theme.
Thought I’d post this encase it crops up for anyone else.
cheers

I would like to move my home widget area up on my home page to the right of my logo. Is this possible
I added support for infinite scroll and the blog grid in the latest version 2.2.8
The home page has to be the latest post page in the wordpress reading settings through.

Hi, I would like to create members only pages with a login on my website. Do any of the members WP plugins work with this theme or do I need to have short-codes to achieve this? FYI, I am a very non-tech person! Thank you.
Increasing the size of the dots also moves them down the page. Do I need to adjust something to increase the size, but not the location?
Hey Ben,
When clicking on home, the icons kind of transition in. Is there a way to get them to be static and immediately on the page?
The issue is with your word limit the home page allows a separate word limit then the blog page but it has to be less then the blog page. Check this in the theme options > blog settings. Make sure your excerpt word limit is more then your word limit on the home page blog post.
Ben
Hi there, on our site *Login to see link , do you know why our top page “latest blog posts” area show Read More twice? (i.e. “Read More Read More”).
Thanks!
I’m working on some of this for the next update, you can use the blog carousel for the home page with a shortcode:
[carousel type=post columns=4 orderby=date]
Ben
Here is the shortcode, you can use this in the page content area:
[custom_carousel columns=4 speed=9000 scroll=1]
[carousel_item columns=4]
Item 01 - Add your info here
[/carousel_item]
[carousel_item columns=4]
Item 02 - Add your info here
[/carousel_item]
[carousel_item columns=4]
Item 03 - Add your info here
[/carousel_item]
[carousel_item columns=4]
Item 04 - Add your info here
[/carousel_item]
[/custom_carousel]

I was just trying to set up a blog-grid under a Revslider as a home page. Guess it doest work like that, but it would definitely be cool.
Hi Ben,
I really like the custom carousel option for the home page layout, but I need to use shortcodes since I’m working on a multilanguage site. Would you be able to tell me what the shortcode would be like with all the options from the home layout under theme options? Ideally I would like it to look the same as well if that’s possible:
– Carousel Title
– Carousel items with an image, description, title and link for each
– Number of columns
– How items scroll
– Speed
Much appreciated!
Do you mean adding a slider? You can use the revolution slider or cyclone slider and copy the shortcode then go to the category you are working with and click to edit it, on that page there is a place to put the shortcode.
If you are talking about just changing some styles you can use the child theme style sheet but you shouldn’t need to touch the virtue.css file. If you make a child theme you don’t copy that file or anything in it you just write your own styles. The parent theme will always load the parent virtue.css

In the woocommerce settings, you can go to products tab and select to show categories on shop page, instead of products or you can show both.
Ben
Hi there,
Just having difficulty trying to work out how to add categories and their images rather than products and their images to the shop page. Can anyone assist with this?
Jasmin
I haven’t heard of this so let me gather some information from you. Did the site revert back while you were logged out or when you loaded the theme options page did you notice settings were back to default?
What is your php max memory setting and max execution time setting?
Have you checked for errors in your database?
Who is your hosting provider?
Ben
Hey Ben,
Not sure what’s been going on, but I logged in today to find a good portion of my site reverted back to the original (colors were default, home icons were not uploaded, etc). Some items (slider, about me page content) remained updated, but others were gone. Have you seen any of these issues? I’m a little weary to continue working on the site, if this is a possibility. Please let me know, when you get a chance. Thanks.
Can you post a link? without out seeing the page and inspecting it I can’t know what the issue might be, more then likely there is a css conflict with a plugin.
Ben
