I have spent all day trying to get this fixed as it is a main feature to my sitehoodhippeez. I have Group filters set up by content type so visitors can view content easily. Also there is a secondary filter to organize the content by tags they might have. My problem is, Isotope is only working on show all not each specific content type. the tags filter seems to work but it too only works on show all.

If you spent "all day" trying to figure this out, you should re-evaluate your process. This is not a bug, it's a support request... and a very frustrating one at that. Adding issues as a bug implies that there is something wrong with the code. Adding issues as a support request acknowledges that you don't understand the code and documentation you've already been given and need more help.

Views Isotope isn't filtering correctly because you haven't defined which field contains the tags you want to filter by in the View. When I look at the HTML for your items, I see there are 2 fields. One for tags and another for type...

<div class="views-row views-row-7 views-row-odd photos/images isotope-item" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; transform: translate(380px, 55px);">
  <div class="views-field views-field-field-video">        
       <div class="field-content"></div>  
  </div>  
  <div class="views-field views-field-field-tags">        
    <div class="field-content term-class"></div>  
  </div>  
  <div class="views-field views-field-type">        
    <div class="field-content content-type">Photos/Images</div>  
  </div>  
  <div class="views-field views-field-nothing">        
    <span class="field-content"><div class="Homepage-View">
      <div class="Homepage-picture"><a href="/content/textile"><img width="220" height="219" alt="" src="http://hoodhippeez.com/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/5c34c7fe7e.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image"></a>
    </div>
    <div class="Homepage-text">
    <a href="/content/textile">Textile</a>
    </div>
    </div>
</span>  
</div>  
</div>

You've manually hidden these fields with CSS instead of following the instructions and adding an isotope-filter class to the View Style of a single field AND reordering the fields so that field is last in the order. You can use multiple taxonomies, but you need to combine the results of those into a single field. When configured correctly, Views Isotope will hide that field for you.

OK all Ego tripping, you might need to evaluate your process on how you provide "support". Do you understand what I am trying to accomplish with this view at all? All you did was show how smart you are and how dumb I might be, Im sure there is a simpler way to explain whats in your response. To give you some more insight on why I posted this as a bug is because I have this site locally as an acquia dev site and it works no problem with whatever custom settings you said I made. When I made it Live all I did was change the group content type titles and added the video field with with the video thumbnail that links to the content. After I made these changes the view "broke"(works as design but not for my purposes). Meh what do I know Ill keep reading what you wrote until it starts to make sense. Thank you for your time.
