  Hi there,

  Have you followed the instructions on the theme page yet under Portfolio Page Template here?:

  https://wordpress.com/theme/illustratr

  I can see that your front page is showing as a post page instead of a static page – that is one of the first things you need to change as you set up your Portfolio Page. You can do that here.

  Hope this helps.

  Yes I have followed the instructions.
  Like i said, even though my page isn’t static at the moment i have changed it to static before and it still doesn’t work :(

  I’ll give it another go

  Thanks

  No problem, sightsflightsandmosquitobites. Are we looking at the same site, just to confirm? The one listed here still has posts for the front page, and since there aren’t posts, it says “not found”

  I also do not see a page called “home” or “portfolio” either. Let us know if you’re working on a different site. Thanks!

  My page isn’t public because I am still working on it, I don’t want people to see published things on my site until i’ve sorted the theme to how I like :)

  I think I may watch a youtube video, watching someone do it I think will make a big difference. Do you have any tips at all?

  Thanks for getting back to me :)

  Hi,
  I’m having some trouble to drag some text onto the front picture.
  This is my website: https://processingtense2019.wordpress.com/
  I’d like to make it look like this:

  Reference beyond the DP

  
  I followed exactly the same instructions, but when I modify the front page, inserting the picture and the text as a heading, the text shows up below in a separate paragraph, while I wish to have it below the name of the workshop inside the picture. Can anyone help me, please?
