  Hi,

  I am trying to set up a website with multiple types of portfolios.

  For example, there would be one for paintings, one for pictures and another one.

  Can this be done? So far I have only been able to create a new portfolio page, but it shows all the projects and not just one type.

  Thanks,

  Charles

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Charles, I’d recommend adding menu links to the different portfolio types. If you’re having trouble with that, can you link to your site? I wasn’t able to find portfolio items on this one.

  Hi,

  Yeah it was not the right site. It’s still a test site but the right link is:
  https://testlouis2.wordpress.com/

  The 2 portfolio pages I created are:
  https://testlouis2.wordpress.com/oeuvres-de-type-long/
  https://testlouis2.wordpress.com/oeuvre-1/

  As you can see the same projects show on both pages even though I created them as different types.

  They don’t have a main menu link yet.

  Thank you for your help,

  Charles

  You have both those pages set to the Portfolio Page Template. That template will always show all projects that are published on a site.

  To show different projects on different pages, you instead need to use portfolio types, as @supernovia explained above. Then either link to a specific portfolio type directly in your site menu, or if you want more control over how the projects display, you can use the portfolio shortcode on a regular page instead:

  Thank you two for your help.

  So basically I have set the pages Portfolio with the portfolio table.

  But in order to use portfolio types (I have set the projects as different types), how do I set the pages to see show only certain portfolio types?

  Thanks

  For that, you’ll use the include_type attribute in the shortcode: https://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/portfolio-shortcode/#attributes

  Hi,

  Thank you all again for your help.

  The pages helps a lot for what to put in. It half works.

  I added the Shortcode block to my portfolio page. It does work, but under it there are still all the different project from different types.

  Is there another place to put the shortcode that I did not see?

  Sorry for all the questions. Your help is appreciated greatly.

  Charles (@lecritiquecuturel),

  Hi.

  I added the Shortcode block to my portfolio page. It does work, but under it there are still all the different project[s] from different types.

  If the page template is “Portfolio Page Template” AND you insert portfolio shortcode, there will inevitably be some duplication. The page will display the whole portfolio, as @kokkieh indicated above, plus the portion of it that the shortcode tells it to. In that case you would need to select another page template to avoid including the whole portfolio below what the shortcode displays. See the Page Templates section of the Themes support page, or the Template section of the Page Attributes support page for information and instructions regarding optional page templates (on themes that have them).

  However, I was unable to find via your menu a static page that is displaying projects. The “Projets” page on the site is the default portfolio archive page, a dynamic page (not static) which will always display all projects.

  Oops! I hadn’t seen your links in a post above to the two portfolio pages you’d created. Did you mean this page: https://testlouis2.wordpress.com/oeuvres-de-type-long/?

  Example #1: Portfolio shortcode to display those of your projects of the type “Long” would have the following basic code: [portfolio include_type=long],
  to which other other attributes may be added. You’d probably also want to a add a link to the page to the custom menu so visitors can find it.

  Hi,

  The page I did most of my portfolio testings is this one:
  https://testlouis2.wordpress.com/large/

  But yeah you can see the same problem on the “type long” page.

  So if I understand correctly, I should not use the portfolio template if I use portfolio shortcode?

  Thanks again

  Yes, exactly.

  Thanks @musicdoc1.

  
  @lecritiqueculturel I just wanted to add, you can also just link to the portfolio pages from your menu. The correct urls are:

  https://testlouis2.wordpress.com/project-type/long/

  https://testlouis2.wordpress.com/project-type/large/

  You can add these to your menu fairly easily if you use the customizer.
