I love the Kathy theme. I've been looking for something like this for years so thank you!
Two questions. 1. On the About Kathy page, how do I change or remove the image at the top. I have looked everywhere and can't find anything.
Two, is it possible to make additional portfolios? I would like to keep my pro work separate from my personal work. I can't seem to find a way to do this.
1. You can remove the image by opening the edit screen of the page and click the "Remove featured image" link then save (screenshot: https://cl.ly/oiao).
2. Unfortunately, there is no option for that. If you want to create a new portfolio that contains entirely new categories, I am afraid you would need to install another WordPress and theme on a new subdomain.
I know all about the featured image, but the strange thing is, is that I don't see that option on my edit pages after I installed the theme. I do see it in the UX Porfolio, etc. See attached screen shot.
Thanks too for clarifying the portfolio question. I figured as much and worked out a work around. Perhaps someday that can become a feature though :-)
One new question. I have the widgets bar turned on with 3 boxes (and this happens regardless of how many are turned on) but it seems to be misaligned and too far to the left. Shouldn't it be aligning to the same width as the image area? How can I adjust this? See screenshot.
For the page's featured image, please check the screen options on the page edit screen if the Featured Image item is checked (screenshot: https://cl.ly/olDr ).
For the widget area, it is intentionally designed that wayHere's a screenshot from the original demo site: https://cl.ly/okcI. But if you would like to change that, I am afraid you would need to use custom CSS to override the default layout styles.
Sorry for the slow response. Strangely, on Chrome for Mac, I can't see anything in the screen options. I tried it in Safari and was able to see it and click the box to show the feature image. Problem solved!
Thanks for letting me know about the footer ;-) I can see why it being offset works but I guess it just doesn't look right for my work. I'm curious if there is a way to use a different lightbox and if so, how I would do that?
Thanks for your help. I've very pleased with how my new site is looking! Have a peak if you'd like - www.bradleyskaggs.com
For the lightbox, I am afraid there's no option for another one. The theme only comes with Fancybox 2 with some custom modification (its skin). You would have to customize the theme code in order to change that.
Thanks! I was on the fence between Kathy and Alvar themes and in the end I have decided to go with Alvar as I think it suits me better. Overall, the change was easy, but there is one technical issue I have a question about.
With Kathy and previous / next turned, a portfolio single page would only rotate through all posts within that category. With Alvar, it seems to go to the next category. For me it is very important that previous/next behaves like Kathy. How can I change this?
Actually, the functionality is currently missing in the Alvar theme and I plan to add a new option for that in the next version. But I can do it for you right now. Could you please send me the following info?
1. FTP info of your site (FTP address, username, password)
2. Site URL + login account
You may create just a tempoary account for me. I will update the code for the new option and will let you know.

Now you will see a new option called "Make Post Navigation Link All Categories" on the Portfolio Options section in the Customizer. It by default links only the portfolio items that have the same categories as the currently viewing one.
For portfolio's featuerd image, the maximum height is 600px with flexible width. You might adjust the width proportionally to its height. Then you can just upload the "2x" version of the image along with the original size.
For portfolio images on its single page, the landscape image's width is 1090px and 590px for the portrait image. The height of both types is flexible.
For blog/page's featured image, the recommended width is 665px with flexible height.

Hello Bradley!
Regarding your questions:
1. You can remove the image by opening the edit screen of the page and click the "Remove featured image" link then save (screenshot: https://cl.ly/oiao).
2. Unfortunately, there is no option for that. If you want to create a new portfolio that contains entirely new categories, I am afraid you would need to install another WordPress and theme on a new subdomain.

Thanks for the info, Bradley. I have made some necessary updates in the following files on your site:
Now you will see a new option called "Make Post Navigation Link All Categories" on the Portfolio Options section in the Customizer. It by default links only the portfolio items that have the same categories as the currently viewing one.
For portfolio's featuerd image, the maximum height is 600px with flexible width. You might adjust the width proportionally to its height. Then you can just upload the "2x" version of the image along with the original size.

I hope this helps!
