  Cabinetry.. brilliantly crafted

  With the above site, is it possible to make one of my portfolio items appear as a featured item? Currently I have got them laid out on the page in 3 columns – but was wondering if I could have it laid out so that in row 1, there’s only one article (with the image and text spanning the column), then in the 2nd row, to have 3 portfolio items as it is currently?

  Page in question:

  Thanks

  The main way to do that would be to use the Portfolio shortcode twice with a special tag added to the item you want to be featured. So, you could do something like this:

  [portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false display_types=false include_type=featured columns=1 showposts=1]
  
  [portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false display_types=false include_type=cabinetry columns=3 showposts=10]

  That would display one “featured” post in one column and then three “cabinetry” posts in three individual columns. Can you give that a try?

  This hasn’t! Take a look at the portfolio page now..

  Btw – I gave the portfolio item I wanted featured a ‘featured’ tag. I’m presuming thats what I had to do!

  It looks like something is breaking the layout on that page when I take a look now. Can you remove the opening and closing “code” and “pre” tags here?

  Hi Jeremey,

  I’m not sure what you mean? You’ll have to spell out what I have to remove here I think!

  Thanks

  Hey Laura,

  When you click over to the Text tab in the Edit page posted below, you should see some code and pre tags:

  I’ve highlighted them for you here:

  Currently, it looks like they’re breaking the layout. Can you remove them so we can take a look at the featured portfolio item?
