  Hi! Following other threads, I’ve successfully managed to create more than one portfolio, using shortcode to display only the projects with specific tags. (I am using portfolio include_type= ). However, to make this work, I cannot use the portfolio template, which automatically displays all. I really miss the hover-over-feature-image-to-reveal-title that is built into the portfolio template. Is there any way I can either use the portfolio template but override what it displays, or use the default template, but bring in the code that produces that effect? Many thanks, Elise. (I am using the Blask theme with jetpack on private server.)

  Hi Elise, while I can’t provide theme dev support here, I can say this theme does have a built in display for portfolio project types like this:
  https://blaskdemo.wordpress.com/project-type/objects/

  Would that work for you? It has a similar setup for project-tag:

  Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. This is exactly what I’m looking for! i’m struggling to understand how the page in the second link you sent displays only one project.

  I have been using project-types which works, but only if I use the default template, which doesn’t include the hover-over-to-display-title dynamic.

  I will now go and try using project-tags. Also, I wonder if it has something to do with the archive mechanics, so I will look at those as well.

  Thank you again for your help!

  i’m struggling to understand how the page in the second link you sent displays only one project.

  That’s just because there’s only one project added to the google tag on the demo site. If we were to publish more projects with that tag, they’ll also appear on that page, similar to how all projects appear on the main portfolio page.

  But is that page using the portfolio template page? I can’t get my shortcode to override the portfolio template (so it still displays all of the projects).

  If I don’t use the portfolio template, so that I only get the tagged projects, I don’t get the hover-over-to-display-title behaviour.

  Many thanks!

  No, that is the project-tag archive page. This page is generated automatically the moment you assign a project tag to a published project, and you can add that page directly to your menu if you want.

  For example, you already have a page like this at http://eliseplans.net/portfolio/project-tag/mimage/, showing the same project you’re displaying via the shortcode at http://eliseplans.net/portfolio/music-for-moving-image/
