Portfolio Press is a responsive WordPress theme for showcasing your photography, art, web sites, or other projects. It also works nicely as a regular blog site. An options panel is available for uploading logos and changing the layout. There’s also support for various post formats and menus.
Here’s a video screencast of how it works:
The theme is in the WordPress Themes Directory. You can demo it here. Or download a copy and try it out.

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.

Hello Devin
I really like your theme. But when i post thumbnails they appear in different sizes. When i take a image from my library to set as featured image, some of theme have the ratio of the original image and some of them take the 215 175 ratio. I did not change anything in the code.
Stijn
Make sure your images are at least 215px by 175px. Then try regenerating them with the plugin I listed above in the post.
wow, Loving your theme and the tutorials you provided. I only have one question; how does one regulate the the thumbnail image size? Thank you
Re-read the post. It’s under the section “How do I change the size of the thumbnail images?”.
How can I change the text font and color in the text sidebar?
Hi Rick. If you need help customizing the theme, best place to get help is the WordPress.org forums: http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates. Someone there should be able to help you out.
Hi Devin,
Thanks for the theme! I’ve been able to figure out most of the content and formatting I wanted to customize, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to make the Portfolio page also allow some text at the top of the page. I made a site with pics of my first kid, and am using the portfolio page as a main menu for several pages with galleries. Some of my less intuitive friends/relatives don’t realize that the thumbnails displayed on the page I named “Media Gallery” can be clicked to access the additional images on the individual portfolio pages. I would like to put a header on the Portfolio page that says “Click a thumbnail to view the gallery” to aid them.
I assume this can be done in the php, but I’m kind of a novice when it comes to php coding.
Thanks!
It can be done with PHP and some styling. You’d need to edit content-portfolio.php. If you need customization help, you can try posting in the WordPress forums: http://wordpress.org/support/theme/portfolio-press
I am trying to do the Portfolio, I can view the photo I uploaded. However when I want to see the image it does not appear. I noticed that my link is:
http://bervasquez.com/?portfolio=la-identidad-de-argentina
Do you know what it means= ?portfolio
Thank you so much,
Did you add it as the featured image?
Hi Devin,
I use Mailchimp to broadcast my Portfolio posts, but I rather want to automize it with, for example, dlvr.it.
Is there a feed/rss option in Portfolio Press? I can’t find it anywhere on this site.
Thanks!
You can try using a plugin to generate RSS feeds for custom post types. Haven’t tested it, but perhaps this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-rss-feed/
This plugin works for me and I documented how to use it as a comment on author’s site.
Here it is again for your amusement.
If you’re wondering how to get access to this:
1. activate it.
2. goto your home page. R-click on it and “View Page Source”.
3. search in there (in head section) for type=”application/rss+xml” and you’ll see all the rss feeds.
4. Some of these will be new to you and the ones you’re looking for.
Make a note of the url where they are available.
(Mine said …/portfolio/feed/ because I’m using portfolio-press theme and associated plugin to make custom pages called portfolios.)
5. To present it somewhere useful. I used the “Custom Meta Widget” plugin which allows me to replace my meta widget with an editable one. I added my new rss feed as a custom entry on this widget.
Cheers…
Hi!
I tried to get ‘related posts’ working on my site, but it doesn’t work (neither with the Better Related Posts plugin). Can I get this working with the portfolio press theme?
Thanks!
And how can I activate the ‘switch between posts’ links? I have them for older and newer posts, but I want to switch between posts within the post itself.
Thanks!
(ps. Phew, got some questions here! Sorry!)
I solved the problem with the related posts, using the Related Posts Thumbnails plugin. It asks a bit of customizing to work properly with your site, but it looks good!
Hey Devin,
Thanks so much for creating this free theme. It’s really helping me become familiar with the wordpress landscape. With this free theme can I choose different layout formats for each page?
Thanks!
You mean sidebar left, sidebar right, full-width? Afraid not. Only pages allow you to use a different template at this time.
Hi!
I deleted some coding/text in the editor from single-portfolio.php and Single Post (single.php) in an attempt to get rid of the “posted at ..etc” – and well, I broke a link so when clicking at a picture at my homepage it only leads to a white page. Any place I can get the original coding so I can redo my changes?
I’d just delete the theme and download a fresh version.
Great theme! Exactly what I was looking for. One question, how do you add filters to the portfolio home page, like on Shinigami Design’s site in your examples. I want to be able to click a tag and then highlight those items on the home page, rather than creating separate pages for the tags. Thanks!
It looks like Shinigami has done some additional customizations to the base theme. You could perhaps contact/hire them to help you make those customizations as well.
We are using Portfolio+ and we love it! Our question concerns how to remove the date/author information from the top of posts. I read somewhere that the edits need to made to the single.php text, but we are total newbies and know very little about code. Could you please provide the code for removing the date/author stamps, as well as where to insert the code?
Thank you!
Hi Heather. I’ve just done that myself.
edit the file single-portfolio.php (make a copy in case you screw it up).
Quite close to the top:
- Remove the lines defining the div class of ‘entry-meta’
thats all the lines from where it starts:
“…div class=”entry-meta”…
down to
“…div >…- .entry-meta –>”
edits made so its not removed by the comment system as illegal xml.
Hope you can read it.
Hi Devin,
Awesome theme. Is it possible to insert a video into a gallery in my portfolio?
Yes, it is the same as inserting a video into a regular post. You’ll still need to upload a thumbnail though (featured image), and you’ll probably want to turn off the automatic display of images on the portfolio posts (can be done from the options panel).
Really like your Portfolio theme I just installed, and have it working, using it to show all my websites in a portfolio, and figured out how your feature of using menues (by category), and that works well. For the main portfolio page, it seems to show the portfolio items sorted by date/time, with last entered showing first. Is there a way to sort the portfolio items alphabetically?
Hi Dan. You’d need to alter the query in content-portfolio.php to orderby title. There’s an explanation of how this works in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters
Hey, I am wondering if there is a quick line of code or something of the like to remove the date and author line from the portfolio post type.
Thanks!
You can either remove that call from single-portfolio.php or add this line to your stylesheet: .single-portfolio .entry-header .entry-meta { display:none }
Removing the code from single-portfolio.php would be my recommendation.
On fullwidth portfolio, is it possible to display in 4 columns?
And also I wish to add a title, so that is possible?
http://bennjomy.com
the home page is the showcase page
And I also wish to change the slug from portfolio to showcase?
Thanks!
Yes, but there would be quite a bit of code to change. You’d need to alter the thumbnail sizes (in functions.php) and the styles in styles.css.
Can I able to change from 3 column to 4 column in full width portfolio page?
And also able to add a title above my portfolio page?
Can i able to change the slug from portfolio to showcase?
Is there any shortcode for the portfolio?
Please take a look at the home page where i set up the portfolio page.
Thanks!
I have made several modification on the css, i’ll try to modify the functions too
What about the slug?
Hi, I’m used to customize themes creating child themes, but for some reason I can’t do this with Portfolio Press.
The child theme is properly recognized and can be activated through dashboard, but it doesn’t load parent theme css.
The information header of child theme’s style.css is compiled as per WordPress codex.
Any hint? Thank you.
Make sure you have the @import to the parent theme CSS. Portfolio+ has a child theme you can download for free if you want to see how that one works: http://wptheming.com/portfolio-plus/
Super Theme!
I think I got it working properly but when portfolio is setup, I cannot get the “next and previous links” to appear when viewing a portfolio page, so one has to go back to main page to see next or previous article etc…
I have already tried deleting and reinstalling theme.
Thanks, Rick
Hi Rick. You’ll need to wait for the next version to come out, or download it from GitHub now: https://github.com/devinsays/portfolio-press
Hello.
I’m using Portfolio Press 1.4.1.
I want to add a featured image for a portfolio item from a NextGen gallery, but the only options to choose are Download a file and Medialibrary.
Is it possible to add support of NextGen gallery to your theme? Or it is a global wordpress feature?
Any images that NextGen uses should be in your media library. Did you try searching for the image?
No, I didn’t search. I downloaded 1 file to wordpress media library and it can be chosen as featured image. But next gen uses it’s own library and there is no it’s tab in featured image setup window.
Thanks for the reply. Will search forward
Hi Devin! I really like your theme and actually would like to use it as my personal portfolio template! Thanks a lot for sharing!
I have one question: when I have some portfolios that belong to different tags, can I set the homepage to show just the ones in the same tags, with the style of full-width portfolio? I have tried to set up a new page using the full-width template, but it could show all the portfolios, not part of the whole picture sets.
Would you please show me if I can realize this effect, to show the portfolios in one tag in the way of full-width template?
Thanks a lot!
Hi Lu. Unfortunately no, you’d need to build out a custom page template that only pulled the tag you wanted if you wanted to only display that on the home page.
Thanks Devin! Your suggestion is really helpful! Your themes are awesome and worth the cost! Look forward to more elegant themes~
hi devin,
http://shinigamidesign.com
how do i do a similar thing on my site? i.e. pop up light box with the user scrolling through the images [ as opposed to going to a separate post with a single image, then pressing back, then clicking on another image]
sincerely,
john
I have nothing to add to John’s question… except that I really want to know the answer to it as well!
I also want to add a lightbox like http://shinigamidesign.com. I noted that he is using the Lightbox Plus plug-in. I’ve loaded Lightbox Plus and enabled the Use For WP Gallery option as described here but when I add a gallery to a new Portfolio page it’s still not using Lightbox Plus….
I was able to get Lightbox Plus to work. The instructions on the video I linked to above, was missing an option in the Gallery shortcode. You must edit the default shortcode (at least in WP 3.5) to add the option: link=”file”. More details here
I was able to use “Gallery Carousel Without JetPack” and turn it on in Settings/Media
worked quite well in the portfolio posts as it overrides the gallery behaviour in 3.5.1
Hi Devin.
I want to use portfolio press very badly, but I am unable to add an image to the header (over the the title and subtitle). Any advice there? I would appreciate it certainly.
Steven
You can try using the logo option, but that will replace the text by default.
Hey ! :D
How do i change the button “home” to a different name ? :D
Check out how the menus work: http://wptheming.com/2010/10/how-to-use-the-wordpress-menus/
Hi!
Is there a way to manually add the grey lines between text blocks or video’s? Can’t find the code for it in the CSS or any other file.
Cheers!
I was making some modifications to this theme for a client of mine (mostly cosmetic to the style.css), but at one point I noticed the Sidebar appears to be nowhere to be seen. Not on the main portfolio page, individual pages, or post pages. I thought this might be by design but then I noticed the Sandbox site in your video does actually have the sidebar.
Any thoughts?
There is an option to not show the sidebar. You could start there. Also, you could check if the #sidebar div is in the markup- which would indicate it should be showing up.
Thanks for a great theme! Is there anyway to remove, or at least edit the text that appears when hovering over the thumbnails on the Portfolio homepage. I notice some users of your Portfolio + theme have eliminated it. Many thanks
Hi Walter. The title attribute will be removed on the next version of the theme. I just submitted it to .org, so it should be released in a couple days.
The update was available and the portfolio images now function without the title attribute as you describe. Many thanks for this and for your ongoing support to all users of your themes.
Hi Devin,
first of all, great work.
Secondly, within the portfolio is it possible to jump from picture to picture by left mouse click (slideshow effect) without opening every time a single new post-page?
Thank you,
Jakob
Hi Jakob. It’s not possible in this theme, or at least not without some serious modifications.
ok, no prob. Can I configure the Portfolio page in the manner that the portfolio items are not clickable?
Hi Devin !
I use your template but i have somes questions for you.

Bruno
Hello from Brazil =)
Great theme! I love it, it has everything I need! Thanks.
But I have one question, I tried to make the portfolio display at home page like you do in the tutorial, and it works. The problem is the “older posts”, the link points to evelynmacedo.com.br/page/2, but there’s no such page. If I go to evelynmacedo.com.br/portfolio/page/2 it works.
I’m using 1.5 version,
I will be glad if you could help, thanks!
Hi Devin.
Firstly thank you for creating this great tutorial.
I have a bit of an issue with thumbnail generation. Unless i’m missing something, the theme is not generating the thumbnails.
The only way i was able to generate a thumbnail was to add a feature image to the post, however, that’s not ideal as i would have to constantly add an unwanted image to may posts.
Is this something you could possibly help with? Am i doing something wrong?
Many thanks
Marius
You can turn off the automatic display of images on posts in the options panel. Portfolio+ has the option to turn of the image display on post by post basis.
Hello Devin,
Yesteday I’ve post some questions but my comment didn’t appear in the comment list… So i try again and hope you recieved this time !
1- How can i do for have more than 9 items of portfolio on my page. For the moment i took the portfolio fullwidth.
2- Is it possible to change the order of the items in the WP Portfolio admin?
Sorry for my language, I’m french !
Thanks a lot !
1: Read the bit under “How do I change the number of portfolio items per page?” in this post
2: You can try the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-types-order/ plugin, though some users have reported that it’s buggy
Hello Devin,
I’m trying to insert NextGen Galleries in every portfolio item on my website and it doesn’t allow me to create any gallery. Do Portfolio Theme support NextGen Galleries? Am I facing a NextGen Gallery plugin error?
Thanks!
Hi, I’m just starting to get familiar with the theme. I’m having a problem, though: gaps in my portfolio grid. All the portfolio entries are showing up on the page. But for some reason, some spaces are being left open. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Todd
It looks like you may have fixed this already? Sometimes that can happen if the featured image isn’t quite large enough.
Hi! How do i change the name of “Home” in the header on this theme? I was looking for ”
<a href="/”>Home” but I can’t find it. And I will have my site in Norwegian, so that’s why I want to change it from “Home” to “Hjem”
Thanks.
Have you set a menu? http://wptheming.com/2010/10/how-to-use-the-wordpress-menus/
Hi Devin,
thanks for the theme – it’s fantastic.
Just one quick question:
When a new portfolio item is created, it creates a post by default (and obviously links to it); however, Is it possible to default it to a page instead of a post?
Thanks in advance.
Not really, the whole theme is really based around a portfolio post type. :)
Hi Margie,
Even though it makes a post (which is nice because you get categories and tags etc) – it does present as a page. So maybe your desire for it to be a page is met – because it looks like one…
Did you have a different reason for needing it as a page ?
Hey Mark,
well I wanted to post as a page particularly because I wanted to use a drop down menu to assimilate a “site” rather than a blog (http://www.DanDImages.com – this is the site that’s up and running, and I wanted to revamp it for my husband, so I’m working on a dev. subdomain which doesn’t have much lol)
Furthermore, the permalink utilizes a ….portofolio=”item name”, and in reality I was hoping for something that allowed me to go a little more explicit such as ….watercolorpaintings/”item name”.
I realize I’m looking for something very specific- so I’m just going to have to play around a little bit more. And no, I can’t code it myself because I no nothing about coding aside from modifying the css with firebug lol.
Anywho, thanks!
I made some changes to allow for 6 portfolios a line. I think the intermediate 4,5 values could be interpolated. Maybe even be options in a future version :-) hint hint..
Basically if we make more images across the page the need to be smaller. We also need to make sure the last column gets the right tag to look neat.
The value of 15% for the css below works but 16% causes overflow onto the next line. I also made the margins smaller for such small images.
In style.css modify the two following entries:
/* 6 items implies 15% width and narrower margins */#portfolio .portfolio-item {
position:relative;
width:15%;
background-color:#000;
float:left;
margin:0 1.5% 1.5% 0;
}
/* 6 items */
#portfolio .portfolio-item:nth-of-type(6n) {
margin-right:0;
}
In content-portfolio.php:
'posts_per_page' => 9,becomes
'posts_per_page' => 36,and
if ( $count % 3 == 0 ) {becomes
if ( $count % 6 == 0 ) {In functions.php:
add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumbnail', 215, 175, true );becomes
add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumbnail', 106, 86, true );and
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '9' );becomes
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '36' );I used the regenerate thumbnails plugin to rebuild the thumbnails after making these changes.
The values of 36 images per page above can be altered by you to whatever you decide is the maximum images per page you want.
Clearly you can see that you can infer values (and experiment) to find useful values for 4 or 5 images across the page.
Hi Devin,
Great template!
Is there a way to make the submenu visible on it’s active page?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
The drop down menu? I’m not sure that would look so good.
Thanks for creating this theme – Is there a simple way to force the order of which portfolio items appear on my home page? Right now the most recent (9) items appear. Thanks in advance for your time.
The simplest way is to change the post date. You could also try the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-types-order/ plugin.
Hello,
I would like to add a video to my homepage. Can I do that, and can it be full screen? When I click the video button, it doesn’t do anything.
Also, how can I change the page color?
Can I add sliders too? Thanks!
Devin, I’m new to WP and Portfolio+. I’d like to expand the Menue (www.biebel-foto.de) with a menue item like “News” or “Blog”, where I can publish some blogs. Unfortunately I do not know how to do this. Could you please help me? Thanks, Harald
Hey Devin,
Great theme !
I’m just wondering how I can add change the background to an image instead of just a color. Can we do this from within the theme ( I couldn’t find where ) , or do I need to do a customization ?
Thanks in advance !
Portfolio+ has more customization options (and would allow you to do this). Otherwise you’d need to edit the CSS.
Hi Devin,
Loving your theme, I’ve been going well but just noticed that when I now hover the mouse over a portfolio post it doesn’t ‘darken’ and show the post name.
Any help?
Thanks Jesse
The entire footer is not loading. I’d try downloading a fresh copy of the theme- it looks like yours is a bit corrupted.
Hi Devin,
Great theme.
Im noticing that in the Portfolio and posts pages that my images are too big, and have a link to the full size image, which i dont want, my pages also load quite slow because the images are so big, is there any way to change this?
Thanks
Chris
Hi Chris. They look fine to me. The images will be slightly scaled down in the one column layout on a desktop view, but they will be full size on a mobile screen.
Hi Devin,
I really like your theme, well done. nevertheless in my case, as my content is only images, I’d like to move the horizontal header menu with the branding and navigation, from the top to the left side of the page. Do you have any idea where in the stylesheet i could modify the code in order to achieve that? I havn’t quite managed yet to turn my header into a vertical bar.
Thanks.
Pierrick
Hi Pierrick. I’d suggest going with another theme that might be a little closer to what you’re looking for. Themetrust.com has a couple, as does http://www.themezilla.com/ with a left aligned menu and site title.
Hey Devin,
I love the Portfolio theme, but I’m having a problem with the layout. I’m a videographer, but i want to display each blog post/video as a thumbnail and directs to a post once clicked.
Right now, my layout is more blog post than portfolio thumbnail and that’s what i want to change. Could you help me out?
http://www.daivision.com
Thanks,
Dan
You could convert the blog posts you want in the portfolio to portfolio posts (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/convert-post-types/). Would that work?
Hello, and thanks for your great work with this theme. I’m trying to configure hyphenation and justify text in entries and comments (in entries at least), but I don’t know when to put the code to make it work. Can you help me?
Justify text: http://bowesales.com/wordpress101/how-to-justify-text-with-wordpress/
Thank you!
Hi.
i have tried to change the size of thumbnails following the instructions above. the sentence: add_image_size( ‘portfolio-thumbnail’, 215, 175, true ) was not on the “functions.php” file, but i have found it in the “portfolio-post-type.php” so i have changed it to:
add_image_size( ‘portfolio-thumbnail’, 324, 324, true );
add_image_size( ‘portfolio-thumbnail-fullwidth’, 400, 400, true );
I have also changed in the css options. ( #portfolio .portfolio-item …and #portfolio .thumb {…
I also downloaded the regenerate thumbnails plug in, and did the regeneration.
now i have a square of 324×324 but the images looks at 175 x 175
How can i solve it?
Thanks for your help
Maybe there is not enough room in the full width of your page to see the number of 324 square images you have across.
So the CSS has rescaled it to fit… So either work out what the proper width should be, or make smaller images. Or change the number of images across the page to be a smaller number so you can use bigger images…
But maybe I’m misunderstanding the problem…
i have already changed the general width, so it should be another problem, You can see how it looks in the web page http://www.zurdodiseno.com
Please, help!
When I follow the link to a page, the images are all under 324 sq. It looks like you need to have images larger than 324 to have the system downscale them to a smaller size. It doesn’t look like it upscales images – which is probably a good idea.
I can’t see your media library though. so check there first. You need bigger images I think.
maybe some of the images werent bigger than 324. but i made the last post, with a bigger image, and regnerating thumbnail, but was not working. Probably, answer is that easy, but i cant really find it.
I like the theme, it’s almost perfect for what I need.
I’d like to have the previous post and next post navigation on the single portfolio page stay within the portfolio post’s category.
I know how to do it with a regular post by adding TRUE for in_same_cat to the next_post_link and previous_post_link functions, but that doesn’t seem to be working for the Portfolio post type.
Is there a solution for this?
to get that kind of ordering I had to go with http://www.nsp-code.com/premium-plugins/wordpress-plugins/advanced-post-types-order/ a paid plugin. If there’s a way to do it without – I’d love to know…
It baffles me that there would be no way to do this without a paid plugin. It’s a standard WordPress feature for regular posts, and it doesn’t seem like an unusual request (that the page-by-page navigation stay within a category). I don’t know why it wouldn’t be easily implementable for a custom post type. I would like to hear the theme developer weigh in on this.
It’s being discussed as a feature for WordPress core. Bill Erickson has a free plugin for it here: http://www.billerickson.net/previous-and-next-post-in-same-taxonomy/ (untested, but I trust his code)
Hi Devin,
thank a million for your theme, which I have been using for a few years now. I have made a new section called “blog” and I have found out that now for normal posts the “featured images” box does not appear any more when writing a post.
How can I insert a featured image in a normal post? Thank you!
I’ll add it to the theme in the next release. You’d need to add add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ) to functions.php.
Thanks Devin.
So where exactly in functions.php must I add the code? shall I just add it somewhere in the following line:
// Add support for a variety of post formats ( will be added in next version )add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'gallery', 'quote', 'image' ) );
Yes, that would be a great spot for it.
Yes, thanks a lot. just added the line and it works!!! You are the best!
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ) ;If you ever need a translation from English to Spanish or German you can count on me :)
This also turns out to be the solution to getting the ‘responsive slider’ plugin working with this theme.
