  Hi!

  So I am building a site using Hyalite theme (although it shouldn’t make much difference what theme is applied for this issue).

  This theme has an option to use Portfolio, but I don’t want to use it as I can better create what I want using pages. However I want to be able to name one of my pages ‘Portfolio’.

  Problem is, the /portfolio/ permalink is obviously reserved, even if I deselect that I want to use Portfolio in settings.

  Is there a way of forcing WP to recognise that I am not using Portfolio in my theme config, and let me use /portfolio/ in my permalink?

  Thanks!
  Jon

  You can name your page Portfolio, but what you want to do is to edit the slug in the Permalink to something like my-portfolio. See our Page Editor support page for more information on that.

  Thanks thesacredpath!

  That’s a pretty elegant solution to the problem!

  Cheers,
