Your theme comes with a Portfolio post type for showcasing showreels, design, art, photos or any body of work that can be represented with images or video. Portfolio items can be arranged by logical categories similar to “albums” that help viewers filter results on your portfolio page.

Setup Categories

1. Go to Portfolio → Categories
2. Enter the category name and click Add Category
3. Repeat to add more categories. The theme is designed to handle one level of categories. For example: Web Design, Print and Full Motion

Add a Portfolio Item

1. Click the Portfolio → Add Portfolio Item.
2. Add a title for your item
3. Enter any text into the post editor. For best results, keep this brief and do not insert images here.
4. Click Set Featured Image in the right sidebar of the post editor (or, for themes that support featured videos, add an oEmbed URL to take advantage of auto-thumbnails, not a video embed code)
5. Click on Add Media to upload additional images for display in the portfolio post or slider.
6. When complete, click each image to view the image details on the right.
   • Edit the image Title
   • Ensure Media File is selected in the Link To menu

   

   • If still open, Close the Media manager (hit the X in the corner) without inserting any images into the post. They only need to be attached/uploaded to the post gallery.
7. Choose a category under the Category box at right.
8. Click Publish. This button will change to Update once a post has been published once.

2. Type the name for your Portfolio page in the Title field.
