  I’m trying to figure out how to get the portfolio on the front page. Right now it’s only visible by going directly to the page – http://julieaevans.wordpress.com/portfolio

  Is there a way to add a home button? The only way back home is to click on the header image which takes you back to the empty home page.

  The theme shows I can add menus. Can’t find them when I try and create one.

  thanks in advance

  Hi,

  It looks like you’ve figured out how to
  1. Assign a static page as your front page, and assign the Portfolio Page Template to that page.
  2. Create and activate a custom menu, including in it a “Home” button.
  Have you resolved each of the issues in the topic, or do you still have questions?

  If you still want to add a link to the Portfolio archive page to your menu, you’ll need to first create a custom menu and then add a “link” with the portfolio URL to your new menu.

  Here’s a guide to creating a custom menu:

  Menus

  Since you’ve set your portfolio as your homepage perhaps you no longer need to do this, but I provided the steps just in case.

  @ kathryn,

  I think julieaevans wanted to display the portfolio on the front page, rather than a link to it, and seems to have figured out how to do so by setting the front page as a static page, with the Portfolio Page Template assigned to it.

  The other issue in the OP was adding a “Home” link to the menu, which has also been accomplished.
