  I believe the portfolio shortcode is the best way to do that.

  Here’s more info on your options: http://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/portfolio-shortcode/

  Thank you so much – I did try that, and used the
  include_types=xxx, xxx
  shortcode, but it still includes all the portfolio types I’ve created.

  Any other tips?

  Thanks

  That is strange. Could you post the full short code you used? they are touchy in that you have to get the syntax exactly right, so maybe a second set of eyes will be able to find the problem.

  If you could also share a link to the page where you are using the shortcode, that would help as well.

  Oh thanks so much, because I am not at all used to using these shortcodes or any codes at all – I am a total noob!

  [portfolio include_types=design columns=3]

  Design

  Thanks again!

  Amazing – It has worked!

  I was confused because the Illustrations page had a shortcode to my ‘Illustrations’ project on my portfolio – but for some reason it kept pointing to the whole portfolio. Then I realised it was the permalink causing that!

  And the erroneous ‘s’ that was causing the error on the ‘Design’ page…

  It’s all Greek to me though. But thank you so much for your help, it was great !

  Always happy to help.

  I had to post your code side by side with the example code to figure it out so sometimes it really is just about “fresh eyes”

  Best of luck with your site!
