I do not see images in the content. If I click on it – a new window opens with the image.
In what may be the problem?

How can I solve the problem with double slash?

Hi,

Just want to let you know that the typography explained in the demo of JA Portfolio is not done the way it is explained.

For instance, to have a message icon in your article it is explained as;

Use <p class=”message”><span class=”icon”> </span>Your message goes here!</p> to make this.

but it is achieved by doing;

<p id=”typo-28″ class=”ja-typo-icon icon-message”><span class=”icon”></span>Your text goes here</p>

I think all typography explanations needs to updated. I tried hilite box, legend style 2 and all done by new classes and ids.

For your information,

Regards,

1 user says Thank You to ashtravel for this useful post

Hi amaliskas,

It seems to be problem of cache, pls try to:

– Disable cache in advanced options of this module

– Clean JAT3 cache in backend.

– Clean browser cache.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Could it be the images also need deleting from the “resized” folder? If you are using an older version of the slideshow that could be the case.
