Instructions and Common Questions
How to Set Up a Portfolio Item:
When you activate Portfolio Press, you will see a new post type called “Portfolio”. Click “Add New Item” and you will be taken to the edit page where you can add a title, description, and tags for your portfolio piece.
To add the portfolio image, click “Set featured image” on the right side of the screen beneath “Portfolio Tags”. This will take you to the media uploader to add your image. When you finish, click “Use as Featured Image”.
How to Set Up the Menus
A lot of people were asking how the menus work. Here’s a video that explains it, plus instructions for how to create different portfolio sections.
404 Errors:
This theme uses custom post types. If you are getting a 404 error when you try and view the portfolio posts, reset your permalinks. You can do this by going to “Settings > Permalinks” and re-saving the permalink structure.
Portfolio Items Disappear:
If you deactivate the “Portfolio Post Type” plugin, your portfolio items will disappear. They are still saved in the database, but you need the plugin in order to access them.
How can I have different portfolio sections?
Use the portfolio tags or categories. These are like the regular tags in posts. You can also put the links in the menu- so, Portfolio could be your main menu item that display all the items, and then have a drop down menu with illustration, websites, etc that link to the tag urls and just displays those items.
How do I change the size of the thumbnail images?
At some point I will probably make theme options for this, but for now you’ll have to do this through the code. Open the file functions.php, and find the line of code that says: add_image_size( ‘portfolio-thumbnail’, 215, 175, true );. The first number “215″ is the width- the second number “175″ is the height.
If you change the thumbnail size, you was also need to install this plugin and regenerate thumbnails.
Is it possible to change a regular post to a portfolio post?
Yes, you can use the Post Type Switcher plugin to convert any type of post type to another.
How do I change the number of portfolio items per page?
In functions.php of your child theme, add a filter:
function mytheme_posts_per_page() {
return '16'; // Return however many items you choose
}
add_filter( 'portfoliopress_posts_per_page', 'mytheme_posts_per_page' );
Can I stop the featured image from showing automatically in the portfolio post?
Yes, install the options panel and choose “Display images manually.”
How can I make the portfolio display on the home page?
Create a new page, call it whatever you like, and choose the page template “Portfolio” (on the right side of the screen in page attributes”. This will now display the portfolio on this page.
Then under “Settings” > “Reading” click “Front page displays” a static page. Then select the page you just created that has the portfolio.
Can I display my portfolio items in with my regular posts?
Yes, but you’ll just need to update the query call on every template where you want both to appear. See Justin Tadlock’s article about this. The intention of this theme was to have them live separately.
My Thumbnails Looks Distorted, Cropped or Weird
Try installing this plugin and regenerating them: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
What if I have hundreds of images to upload? Is there any easier way?
Try using the Automatic Featured Images Posts plugin. In the settings, set the “Default Post Type” to “portfolio.”
Can I change the order that portfolio posts display?
The easiest way is to change the post date- that’s how they are naturally ordered. Another way is to use the Post Type Order plugin- though some folks have mentioned bugs with how the prev/next buttons work when that plugin is in use.
I want to lightbox my portfolio images. Can I do this?
Portfolio Press does not have support for lightbox images. You might try a plugin if you need lightbox functionality.

I have lost the second row of tools when adding a new page or new portfolio. Soon when i want to paste text, a Past a Plain Text window pops up, leaving me with no options to paste formated text into my pages. I dont know what happened to the original set of tools or how to get it back.
Any help, please!
I have solved this problem by deactivating all the plugins not directly related to portfolio press. And instantly my editing tools returned. I think it was the FolioPress WYSIWYG or the WP Google Fonts, i deactived them both at the same time without checking in between. Neither of those plugins do anything useful for me anyway and obviously one is a hazard.
Hi Devin. New to all of this – figuring it out as I go. Chose your theme. Installed the Options Framework and now have lost the basic settings I had originally so can not check box entitled “display images manually”. So thumbnail repeats in portfolio post and can’t figure out how to not show it.
So now I have a list of theme ops that aren’t changing anything – of course I am so new I have no idea if they would with this theme. Ugh. Thanks for your help. bp
I created a custom portfolio page using the Menu option together with Portfolio tags so I have displayed only selected pictures on it.
The problem is I can’t set it up as a home page, it doesn’t show up in “Static pages”
How can I resolve that?
Only pages show up in the “Static Pages” list. So, you’d need to create a page and have a template applied to it, or duplicate your new template and label it home.php, or do some fancy template filtering (ala http://www.billerickson.net/reusing-wordpress-theme-files/).
thanks Devin, I am almost there now.
I used templates from files archive-portfolio.php -> home_page.php and content-portfolio.php -> home-portfolio.php
I edited home-portfolio.php and edited this line:
‘posts_per_page’ => 3,
Now I need to select a different 3 portfolio pictures to display on this home page, can you tell me what part of code selects the portfolio pictures? I can read HTML but only beginner in php.
Hey Devin,
Great plugin. Is there any way to decrease the opacity of the thumbnail when hovered?
Thanks,
Erickson
You’d need to edit the js: https://github.com/devinsays/portfolio-press/blob/master/js/theme.js
First, thanks for the lovely theme–it’s clean and elegant and just what I was looking for!
I’m rather a newbie at WordPress, and I have two questions.
First, is there a way to create a page (other than the portfolio page) that doesn’t show a title on top? I’d like to set the page now called “Future Home” as my homepage, and I know how to do that when I go live, but it would look a lot better without either “Home” or some other title showing up!
Second, is there a way to remove the white border from images? I don’t mind it on the pages that link to the portfolio items, but it looks not so great on my future homepage.
Thank you!
Okay! I figured out how to deal with the white borders–either eliminate the padding or change the background color (in the CSS).
I still am wondering about how to eliminate the title on my home page. Is there any way to do this on one page and not the others?
Hi Devin–
I love the simplicity of this theme. Thanks. I am putting together a site for my mother who is a sculptor, but most of her images are vertical and I am getting unpleasant black borders on the portfolio images.
What options do I have? What size is the portfolio image box? (so I can crop and resize photos is possible) Or should I be resizing the image box to a vertical? And how do I do that?
Thanks!
PS: I have done simple customization before– just tell me what file and what the code is and I can find it.
I’d change the size of the images. Read where it says “How do I change the size of the thumbnail images?” on this post for more info.
I use your pagelines template for my website.
My website is still under construction, and it will take a while to complete it. I would like to have my website not published, while I am still working on it. Is any way, I can show this website is “under construction” or any way not to publish the content of all the pages?
Thanks
This plugin can do that: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-maintenance-mode/. Pagelines?
Hi Devin, love the theme! Thank you for creating and making it available! My question is this: can you describe how to change the single post layout so that no sidebar is shown? Right now my sidebar widget is empty but the pages still show the “Archives” and “Meta” menus, by default I assume. When someone clicks on one of my portfolio thumbs I would like to take them to a page where my photos display in the full width of the theme without a sidebar. I’ll use the Footer for any items I would normally place in the sidebar. I assume this change can be made by editing the single post php file but I’m not sure how to do it so I thought I’d ask. Thanks!
In the options panel you can choose to display portfolio pages full width.
I found a flukey kind of glitch with this theme when it’s open in a window that’s not wide enough to hold the whole thing–when you scroll toward the missing right part of the page, the black under the logo and menus and the gray pattern under the content and sidebars disappears. That’s unattractive but not so bad under the sidebar, because you can still see the text–but it’s a problem under the menus because you can see the menu titles.
How would I fix this?
Thanks!
After spending several hours with a far more knowledgeable friend, we (mostly she) figured out that the width was defaulting to 100% of the window width for the #branding, #content, and #colophon backgrounds, and that a min-width setting in three places would fix the problem–you can check my website (rachelreiss.com) if you want to see where they were put.
Hope this helps someone!
Is there a way to make the sidebar go away on all pages (including the portfolio item pages?
You can edit the code and remove it from the templates, or you could just put a blank text widget in there and have it look blank.
My website is coming along nicely now but where does the link in Header.php point to for the website description? I need to change the description to something more useful but can’t find it amongst all the pages.
Thanks
Settings > General: “Tagline” (from WordPress dashboard)
Hi Devin, what you suggest will only change the page title, not the actual description. Normally found in header.php
Hi Devin,
I’ve completely transformed your theme now and I wondered if you’d like to add it to the list of sites near the top to show people what they can achieve using your template?
I do still have the one minor issue though… The same one I’ve had for some time. If you look up Portfolio Press pages on google – the Date is shown before the description. I really would rather that the date wasn’t there as in time it will make my pages look old and irrelevant to my potential visitors.
For example – if you google desire disco, you’ll see my site on google, but in the description lies the Date. The date is irrelevant to my visitors so I’d really like to know how to remove it.
Many thanks,
Matt
Devin, your suggestion about using the “Full width portfolio” template would only work when creating a page. I am trying to get a full width from a portfolio post. And creating a blank text widget does not eliminate the sidebar, it just makes the area blank. Ideally I would like to create a portfolio post for a YouTube video that can be displayed as large as possible. With the sidebar I can only use the 640 wide YouTube embeds. I know I can create a page with the full-width portfolio template that will display the YouTube video at 960, but because there is no “featured image” option when making a page I have no way of using a thumbnail for the video that will show up with my other thumbs in the grid on my home page. So right now it seems like I’ll have to create a portfolio post for the featured image (thumbnail) and a separate page for the full-width video embed, then use a Redirection plugin to force the portfolio post to go to the page post. Or I can just remove the sidebar code from one of the php files, in this case I’m guessing “content-portfolio.php”? Do you have any thoughts on this? Am I missing another much easier way to accomplish what I want?
Okay, I understand what you’re asking. You’ll need to remove the sidebar call from https://github.com/devinsays/portfolio-press/blob/master/single-portfolio.php, and then update the css to display the content area full width.
I’d like to know which lines to remove too.
I want the widgets on the portfolio home page, but not in the posts themselves.
Hi Devin,
I uploaded your theme for my sister’s cookie website. Is there a way to re-order the images that show in the portfolio page (i.e. currently “birthday cookies” are the last item shown and I’d like them to be first)?
Change the publish date.
Hi Devin,
Again, great theme. 2 Quick questions:
How do I remove the older / other links at the bottom of every page?
How do I change header background image?
Many thanks,
Scott
My question is similar Scott’s. How do I set up the navigation at the bottom of a portfolio page? I’d like to change “older / newer” to “previous / next” and perhaps add page 1 of x, and allow visitors to choose the page they visit. Thanks, Devin. Love this theme!
You can use the pagenavi plugin to get numbered archives (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/), or edit the code to simply change the older/newer text.
How do I remove the links?
I’ve tried removing the css but this doesn’t work.
Help!
Ignore!
Figured it out – #nav-below {display:none !important;}
Devin,
Had a couple of questions, first, is there a way (I assume it would be in the code) to modify the template for the categories pages?
Second, there seems to be some sort of bug that causes there to be 10 items per page rather than 9, which looks rather odd. I’ve tried modifying the number of items per page like you said to above, but it doesn’t seem to have changed anything.
Thanks,
Zack
Hey Devin,
I love this theme. I just have one question. Is there a way to change the header color instead of black? Thanks again for the theme.
Check out the theme options.
I see when you insert a feature image into the theme, it shows the whole image in the thumbnail view in the portfolio even though your images are rather large. When I upload my image and make it the featured image, it only shows a portion of that image in the thumbnail view. How do I fix it?
Thanks!
Not sure. Maybe try regenerating the thumbnails: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
Still having trouble with the number of items per page. If I create a page with the portfolio template, than it display’s fine, but if I use categories to separate the portfolio items, then the category page displays with 10 items per page instead of 9. I’ve tried to figure out how it’s being generated and fix it, but no luck.
hey, i was having the same problem and posted here about it–someone else having the same issue posted their fix. it worked for me, so maybe it’ll work for you too. here’s what they wrote:

I had a similar issue.
In my case, it turns out that the Blog Pages setting under SETTINGS>READING was driving how many portfolio items were returned by the database query. I’m not quite sure what I did to cause this but in the short term I’m just managing this quirk through Reading>Settings. This is a global setting for me so it’s no big deal.
Thank you Devin for this theme. I think it really is going to be what we need for the artist collective. I was wondering if there is a way to exclude certain portfolio post categories from the home page. I looked at trying to use exclude posts code, but the portfolio posts do not have numbers associated with them that I see. Also, I would like to change the number per row to 5 instead of 3 items, but I am not sure where the div tags are that you referred to.
Hi, I am trying to change the background to a pic and having issues… I changed the CSS to this and isnt working:
/* Base Styles */
body {
font: 14px/20px Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif;
color: #555;
background: url(images/dirty_black_brick.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat;
}
Cant figure out what i am doing wrong.
The jpg is in the images folder of the theme.
Thanks,
Jonathan
Style rules should go on #main. Use the browser developer tools if you need help targeting a style.
I have set up the Portfolio page, no problem. But, how do I get verbage above the photos such as in the Golden Retriever Adoption site (http://sgrr.org/dogs/ page?
You’d need to edit the page template to also pull in the_content on the page.
Hi Devin:
As others have stated, this is a very nice straight-forward theme that really helped me get my portfolio on the web quickly. The question I have regards fonts. I’d like to change the font used for each category, i.e. Web, DVD Menus. I tried to use Cufon, but was unsuccessful. Can you tell me how to use Cufon or do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks
I can’t offer specific customization advice, but I’d recommend using something like Google fonts or TypeKit over cufon if possible: http://www.google.com/webfonts
Hi Devin,
My porfolio pages have suddenly stopped behaving the way they should be:

I haven’t changed any of the code – can you please assist?
Thanks,
Scott
Please ignore,
Thanks,
Scott
thank you for sharing nice theme
very inspired
Just getting started on my site using your theme. Thanks it looks like I wanted so far. your video really helps a lot. Here are my questions.
1. I have set up the Home page to display the main portfolio by client/account. Instead of clicking through to the post of that image I want to click through to a Portfolio page for that client only and not the singular item.
2. When you click through to the singular client page as a portfolio can I use something like Fancy box to stay on that page and open and close the items and stay on that page. (opening and closing the item and stay on the same page).
3. I want to set up a blog page and not have it be part of the portfolio. The posts not affecting the portfolio but functioning as a separate section. Can I do this?
1) You’ll need to make a custom page template for that, or hire someone to build it
2) Yes, but you’d need to alter the code so that fancybox loads
3) You can do this under Settings > Reading. Just select the page you want to load your blog posts.
Hi, love that theme.
How do I change the order of the portfolio images ?
Change the post date. Update to make this easier is in the works.
Hi Devin,
I updated the theme to version 1.1 and my porfolio pages have suddenly stopped behaving the way they should be:
http://www.saundersalbum.com
I haven’t changed any of the code – can you please assist?
Thanks,
Scott
Hi Scott I did the same. The best thing to do is to contact your Website Host and ask them to restore your page to before you upgraded the theme.
I lost quite a lot of work from my page which was a pain, but I’ve almost got it back to the way it was.
Older versions are in the WordPress.org repo: http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/portfolio-press/1.0/
I’ll also tag the 1.0 version on GitHub for downloading.
The only folks who have reported issues so far are people who have customized it in some way (like adding borders around the images). If you have customized it, or made a child theme, I’d recommend saving a copy before you upgrade.
The latest version is a responsive theme, so there were a number of styles that got updated.
Hi Devin. I just updated and now instead of a grid three across of portfolio images, it’s two columns on the left. Not really a big deal, but I liked the three by three grid (o.k., with an extra on a fourth row). Any way to get it back to that? Thanks
It’s looking fine to me: http://www.kristineames.com/?portfolio_tag=new-work
What page, what browser?
You might need to do a hard refresh.
Yeah, now the rearrangement has gone away, but it’s in a new font. I can live with that. It’s Safari. thanks
The only folks who have reported issues so far are people who have customized it in some way (like adding borders around the images). If you have customized it, or made a child theme, I’d recommend saving a copy before you upgrade.
How would you recommend someone who made some customization changes proceed? (For example, I changed the size of the portfolio images, and altered the white borders around images.) Should we change everything back before updating? And are there instructions for updating?
Here’s my general recommendations for upgrading if you’ve made changes:
1) Back up your entire WordPress install (this is just good practice). A lot of people recommend http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/backwpup/
2) Make sure to have an original copy of the child and/or parent theme that you can reference after upgrading
3) Upgrade the theme to the latest version
4) If anything in bonked, drop the site into maintenance mode (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-maintenance-mode/)
5) Make any adjustments/updates to the theme that you need, and then remove the maintenance mode
I assume if you customized it once, you’ll be track down the changes.
The portfolio is now responsive and relies on percentage widths rather than pixel definitions. So if you had a border, you’ll need to change the size of the portfolio items in % terms and add a border in terms of %. I’d also recommend checking it all multiple screen sizes.
If all of this sounds like waaay too much work- don’t upgrade. You can change the name of the theme and it will no longer try to get updates from WordPress.org. Version 1.0 of Portfolio Press shouldn’t break anytime soon- you just won’t get new features and enhancements.
I set the portfolio to be home page of my website. I have continued to add new portfolios but would like to rearrange the order of how they appear. How do I do this?
You can change the post date of the portfolio item. I’m planning to add drag and re-arrange functionality at some point too.
I just updated too, and now, in the blog comment field, the word “comment” obscures most of the quicktag menu bar (plugin: Basic Comment Quicktags v 1.4) and won’t go away unless the plugin is deactivated. I’ve deactivated it for now.
The fonts are changed too, which I would change back if I could. Unhappily, my satellite connection is not compatible with my host’s backup utility, so I’m flying without a net for the most part and can’t really go back to the previous version. I also know nothing about code.
I can live with the font change, but would really like my commenters to have the quicktag menu back—they use it constantly.
I’ve tried deactivating all plugins (except akismet and jetpack) to see if that helps, but no luck.
Add:
.comment-form-comment label { display:none; }
To your stylesheet.
Thanks for the quick reply Devin.
This is horrifyingly remedial stuff for you I know, but I’ve spent the last 40 years being good at different stuff, but I’m a quick study.
Does it not matter where the line;
.comment-form-comment label { display:none; }
goes in the stylesheet at all?
Searching the stylesheet for “comment-form-comment label” I find this single occurrence;
#respond .comment-form-comment label {
background:#eee;
color: #555;
display: inline-block;
line-height:20px;
padding:5px 15px;
font-size: 12px;
position: absolute;
left: 1px;
top: 1px;
z-index: 1;
min-width:60px;
}
Which may or may not have anything to do with what you’re telling me to do.
I’m being an idiot about something totally basic, probably.
Sorry. I’m just overly nervous about mashing things up I reckon.
Devin, as you were – I think I got it.
Screwed up some courage, took a wild guess, then changed-
display: inline-block;
to-
display:none;
It seems to have worked perfectly
many thanks.
Hi Devin,
I have this problem that my actual portfolio page wont show up as full screen.
I do have the template selected at my pages, but it keeps showing the right menu.
Can you tell me how to get rid of this?
http://www.theofficialsairo.com
I also had a problem with my thumbnail when I upload a smaller/larger image. Should I resize all my images to the same size, or will the thumbail regenrator make all my images the same size?
Thanks
Looks full screen to me.
Images should be resized for you by WordPress.
Oh, I see what’s going on. In the Options Panel, check “Use Full Screen Portfolio”. It’s one of the options there.
Hi Devin,
Is there any way to paste into a page images from the clipboards? I am using a mac book. Cut and paste of text is no problem but images wont paste.
Hello!
First off, love the theme. I like how you can make the portfolio the main homepage. I do have a question (and I don’t think it’s been asked yet..), for my site, I want each of the pictures to link to a different website. So when someone clicks on the yoga picture in the portfolio, it opens a new window with that website.
Is that possible?
Not without some customization. I am working on a “premium” version though that will give you the option to do that.
Hi Devin,
As of the moment I used Archive widgets on the sidebar but it display the year and month of the WP posts. Is there a way that the Archives will display the year and month of my portfolio entries/posts.
FANTASTIC theme! Thanks for making it available and for a great blog about it.
One small problem, though. It was perfect until I upgraded it and now when viewed on and ipad/iphone the header is not scaled proportionately like before. Now the menu is pushed under the logo and taking up far too much room. Is there anything that can be done about this?
Thanks Kim. Your site looks great. I added it to the list of examples (hope you don’t mind).
There’s a couple things you could do. Do you want to stop the site from being responsive entirely, or just tighten up the spacing when it gets small?
If it’s just spacing, can edit the CSS under one of the media queries and change #navigation to have smaller top padding. You could also drop the font size.
If you want to make it un-responsive, you could put a min-width on the body tag.
I would like it to be responsive, yes. But I don’t want the spacing to change at all, even when the screen gets small. I just want the header, logo and menu to scale down equally with the rest of the site. Before the upgrade the whole header with menu looked exactly the same as on a monitor. But now the logo and menu does not change scale and is disproportionate to the rest of the site. I noticed the footer also has the same problem.
Hi,
I use portfolio press for my photoblog website and i have a problem when importing image square 800px * 800px, 75ppp :
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 29884416) (tried to allocate 2360 bytes) in /homepages/43/d147289301/htdocs/david/wp-includes/media.php on line 1025
Do you know where can it come from?
Thank’s (my english is not very good, sorry…)
Try this: http://wptheming.com/2009/10/wordpress-memory-error/
This Portfolio Press theme is working out really well for me — except for the dreaded grey borders on the thumbnails and single images. I’ve been scouring the forum and it seems to be a split between theme and core, but haven’t found the files that solve it for me.
The obvious solution would be #content .wp-caption img, but I can delete the whole style without effect.
I found a two-year-old post by Esmi offering this:
It’s the default css inserted by the gallery shortcode from wp-includes/media.php.
#contentwrapper .gallery .gallery-item img {border:none !important;}
but I haven’t been able to find it and suspect it has been relocated.
Help! Thanks
Hi Devin,
Portfolio Press is Great. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Just a question:
- how can I change the formatting of footer text. Not the contents (option themes), the style and dimension of footer text?
Thank You.
You’d need to edit styles.css in the theme.
Hello,
thanks for great theme.
I guess this will be a little tricky but, is there a way to arrange porfolio items by categories? Like this:
http://imgur.com/NEg3N
I can easily edit css and can read in html, but php not :/
thx much for help
You’d need to have a little PHP knowledge to do that. You’d need to create a new page template that pulled in the categories/tags you wanted.
and I guess u dont have time to do it, right? :)
I love this theme. so clean and simple and easy to use. THANK YOU SO MUCH! My question is, how do i rearrange the image display order in my portfolio? I cant find a function to drag and drop and rearrange the list. thanks !
You have to edit the post date. No drag and drop yet.
Been enjoying the Portfolio Press theme. Had pretty much finished a new site with theme to update old coffee cup version. I mistakenly changed the web address for my site somewhere in General settings from http://www.wineplus.ca/dev/ to just wineplus.ca and now I can’t log in to access site. Any tips how to do get access again or how to correct this?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
Hi Devin,
I’ve completely transformed your theme now and I wondered if you’d like to add it to the list of sites near the top to show people what they can achieve using your template?
I do still have the one minor issue though… The same one I’ve had for some time. If you look up Portfolio Press pages on google – the Date is shown before the description. I really would rather that the date wasn’t there as in time it will make my pages look old and irrelevant to my potential visitors.
For example – if you google desire disco, you’ll see my site on google, but in the description lies the Date. The date is irrelevant to my visitors so I’d really like to know how to remove it.
Many thanks,
Matt
Hi Devin,
I’m trying to make some kind of switch button to display the posts as the portfolio way (with the thumbs), or as a infinite scroll way (as a normal blog). Any suggestions?
Thanks
James
Hi Devin,
sorry I’m back to ask some more.
Is it possible have in the portfolio page all the thumbnails to scroll down instead 3X3 thumbs splits in pages?
Thank you.
I’m working on a “Pro” version of Portfolio Press that will have an option to do Infinite Scrolling. I’ll post it the comments when this is released.
Hi Devin,
do you have the instruction for the request above? I try and can’t seem to get the portfolio post to display full page as well.
Thanks,
“Okay, I understand what you’re asking. You’ll need to remove the sidebar call from https://github.com/devinsays/portfolio-press/blob/master/single-portfolio.php, and then update the css to display the content area full width.”
Hi Devin,
I have set portfolio as my home page, but it doesn’t show me sidebar on that page. In the page attributes it only shows me
1- Default template
2- Full-width page
3- Full-width portfolio
Can you help me with this please.
Many Thanks
Tahir
A lot of folks have been asking for this recently. I’ll add it to the theme options.
I am also having a problem with my thumbs showing up as 10 to a page instead of 9. I tried changing the number of thumbs per page in my functions file and in the content-portfolio file and it has not solved the problem. Any ideas?
Also, is there any way to add a page title to the archives-portfolio template?
I had a similar issue.
In my case, it turns out that the Blog Pages setting under SETTINGS>READING was driving how many portfolio items were returned by the database query. I’m not quite sure what I did to cause this but in the short term I’m just managing this quirk through Reading>Settings. This is a global setting for me so it’s no big deal.
thank you, i was just about to smash my head through a window–that totally did the trick for me too.
Tibor,
Glad to help but now this is bothering me like a fresh mosquito bite.
Anyone: When would “content-portfolio” be called but not be used as a template? This would cause the PHP code to skip the query_posts statement, and means that the query has already been executed before this code is used. I haven’t been able to spot anything in the theme. What am I overlooking?
It’s called from archive-portfolio.php:

Jay, I am using it on my site to call different categories. For the life of my I could not figure out how to create an archive-portfolio page template, so I am using links to different categories in my menu, and then those links call archive-portfolio, which then calls content-portfolio. If you’ve figured out how to create an archive-portfolio page template, please let me know. I’d like to do this so I can add page titles to each of my different category pages but I’m all out of ideas on how to do this.
Hello,
When I open a porfolio item, there are elements I would like to remove from that page, and I cannot figure out how to do this.
Above the image, I want to remove the ‘posted by…’, underneath, I want to remove the ‘This entry was tagged…’, and also to the right of the image, I want to remove the ‘search box’, ‘archives’ and ‘meta’.
I am new to all this, so any assistance would be appreciated, thanks!
