Hi samzucker,

1. Since you are using WP Super Cache and if its on, it will cache entire page so I have added it to excluded list of cached pages:

(view large version)

Currently WP Super Cache is turned off on your site however I have tested and it worked.

2. You can disable portfolio hover with CSS on 768px screen size and below:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    .portfolio-holder .item-box.wow.animated .thumb .hover-state {
        display: none;
    }
}

3. This CSS will set two columns per row on mobile screensize:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    
    .portfolio-holder .portfolio-item.w4 {
        width: 50%;
    }
}

4. This plugin adds the ability to manage the order of category/other taxonomies order:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/

5. This option is not implemented yet in our theme however if you add a URL that has the hash of category slug then it will automatically select that category, for example:

http://dev.zuckerandspice.com/portfolios/#drinks

If you click here, the Drinks will be shown on that page by default.

I hope this helps you.

Hi samzucker,

I have made a video while I turned the cache ON and then tried to refresh Portfolio page, as you can see it is working:

I hope this is the correct way to work on your site, otherwise I am not sure what I can do here!

Hi Samzucker,

I have was trying to debug the issue with random portfolio order, I was able to login to your WordPress however after few tries I got this error:

(view large version)

Can you please let me know how can I access your site without having to see this error.

Hi samzucker.

I have disabled/enabled and cleared the cache of WP Super Cache and portfolio items were showing the same order, so its not related to "WP Super Cache", I have added a debug code to see if the page is cached and it results that a cached page is served, to understand this its easy:

Added this code in functions:

// Debug random number
add_action( 'kalium_portfolio_query', function( $query ) {
	if ( kalium()->get( 'hello', true ) ) {
		echo 'Random: ' . mt_rand( 1, 99999 );
	}
	return $query;
} );

So when accessing portfolio page with ?hello={something} it will show the random number:

http://dev.zuckerandspice.com/portfolio/?hello=123

The random number should be shown different in each refresh (request). But once you click the URL lets say hello=123 the random number is shown "75638", if you refresh the page that number is still shown "75638" meaning that the page is served from cache not executed again. This is why the portfolio items order are not showing in random order because the page is being served as cached. 

You can replicate this issue also by adding something else in URL, lets say ?hi=hola:

(view large version)

And if you change that "hola" to "halo" the page will output random order of portfolio items:

You must discuss this issue with your hosting provider because this is not related to our theme.
