Blask Theme- multiple portfolios
-
Hello, I am setting up a website for a tattoo artist. My goal is to showcase a few of his pieces/art on the homepage using the portfolio template but then also have more art displayed in different categories, also in the portfolio template. For example, have two tattoos on the home page but also have a side bar option to click on tattoos and it open to a new portfolio that includes all of his work. Is this possible?
Hopefully I explained that correctly. If you look at the site now, you’ll the home page as a portfolio template and then the side menu has catagories like art, tattoo, digital art…. I want to limit the amount of content on the homepage but not under these other categories.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can create multiple portfolio pages by categorizing your projects with Project Types. Then, you can create a Menu item for each of these Project Types.
Please take a look at this post – it has instructions on how to do this.
Also, refer to this support page – it has information on how to categorize your projects with Project Types.
Hope that helps!

Hi there!
In addition to the info Jenny gave you (thanks!) I wanted to clarify that to limit the projects that show on the homepage, you’d need to do a workaround or two, because by default, the portfolio page template you’re currently using displays all project types and project tags.
If you wanted to hide certain portfolio types on the homepage, you could do that in a couple of ways:
1 – You could use some CSS to hide projects with a specific type or tag. For example, to hide projects with the portfolio type “Script” – you could add this to your Custom CSS in the Customizer:
.home .jetpack-portfolio-type-script { display: none; }The issue with this method is that it creates “gaps” in the automatically generated masonry (jigsaw-puzzle-like) layout.
2 – Instead of using the portfolio page template on the front page, you could use the default layout, together with the portfolio shortcode. The shortcode lets you specify which project types and/or tags to display. https://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/portfolio-shortcode/ If you go this route, the grid display will look a little different, but you will have more control over which projects are displayed.
Each project type has an automatically generated archive page. For example, here’s the one for the type “script”:
https://jasonmtattoos.com/project-type/script/
Same thing for each project tag. Here’s an example for the tag “dallas”:
https://jasonmtattoos.com/project-tag/dallas/
You can link to those from your custom menu.
Just let me know if you need further help!
