  I’ve created 3 portfolios, but I cannot find the shortcodes for each portfolio in order to embed them in a page. How do I find the shortcodes for each portfolio?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi! There isn’t an individual shortcode for each portfolio on WordPress.com, because they work a little differently.

  Did you want to get all three portfolios showing on a page, so that visitors can click through to each one?

  If so then I suggest:

  1. Create the page where you want all three to appear
  2. Insert either a “Blog Posts” block, or a “Query Loop” block and ensure that it is set to show portfolio projects (usually just referred to as ‘projects)
  3. Make any further appearance/setting changes to the block

  Once you save/publish the page, it should show all three portfolio items!

  In case of need, we have a guide for both blocks mentioned above:

  • https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-editing/theme-blocks/query-loop-block/

  Should you prefer, there is also a portfolio shortcode; however I personally find it is a little less customizable than the two above options:
