Portfolio question

[Mike Mancini]

I have different portfolio categories and want to show a portfolio of a specific category only. I find that when you get to the last item in a portfolio and click the advance icon it shows an item from another category. Another problem is when you click the center icon (all items) you get all the portfolio entries. Is there a way to make a portfolio discrete and only show the selected category when you advance or go back or click the all items icon?

Hi, can you show us your website, the exact page this happenson, and let us know how you set the portfolio up exactly? Maybe it’s a setting issue.

Also, on which version of WP and the theme are you? Make sure they’re the latest.

Cheers

I know its a little confusing so let me try to simply my question.

1. I have 62 portfolio items.

2. I am adding a portfolio element to a page and choosing 2 categories that have a total of 7 portfolio items in it.

3. I click on an item and go through each item by using the right arrow.

4. When I get to the 7th and last item and click on the next arrow the portfolio shows items that are not in the categories I chose.

I want the portfolio to only show the 7 items in the categories I picked and not all 62 portfolio items.

-Thanks

Hi,
I got you and try to make it but i’m afraid it’s not built into the theme and need to modified especially for you. We always ready to help you with this customization but we are only able to provide support for basic theme issues and bug fixes. We do provide support for small customizations but unfortunately this request is beyond that. Please see our general policy and guidelines for more info. You could also hire a developer to help you with your customizations.

Thank you for understanding!

I had a feeling that would be the answer. Do you know if Ed has any plans to update the portfolio element? I really like this theme but I feel the portfolio could use some tweaks. For instance the cropping on the portfolio showcase and carousel is not ideal for showing your pictures with the top and bottom being cut off. The fact that all portfolio items are visible when viewing items means you can not create a specific portfolio to show specific items by category. Anyway I have purchased a few plugins to get the results I need. Do you know if Media Grid and Showbiz Pro have any conflicts with the Dante theme? -Thanks

Hi Mike,

Looking at adding the option of same category portfolio navigation in the next update. We provide the option to set up a thumbnail independently, for this reason – if you need a different crop.

Those plugins should work fine.
