Issue with Illustratr theme's Portfolio Projects custom content type — help!
-
I am using Illustratr theme, and keep having the same issue. The portfolio page has not been displaying properly (when I click on that page, it just shows my home page). I followed forum suggestion that said to un-enable (and save) and then re-enable (and save) the Portfolio Projects custom content type in my writing settings. That has worked, but the issue has happened more than once and seemingly randomly. It’s an issue because the whole point of my WordPress site is to display my portfolio projects! If a potential client or employer comes to my site looking to see work samples, and that page isn’t displaying correctly, I’m screwed.

May be this problem is random but I can see your amazing portfolios without any problem.

I am using Illustrator theme, and have created different pages in order to display different content on them. I have the main page (HOME), which is like a portfolio where all my projects appear. Then I have created other pages to put into them only the projects related to each category (FASHION-FOOD/TRAVEL, etc.). The problem is I don’t know how to do it. I mean, if I create a post and want to put it inside the page FASHION, what should I do?
Thank you very much.

Please assign FASHIO Project Type to the portfolio and it magically appears under FASHION page.
Project Types are like categories. You cna read more about them at the end of Adding and Managing Portfolio Projects section.

If I put [portfolio] on ART AND DESIGN, for example, I get the same content I have on the HOME page. But the thing is that I do not want the same content to be repeated, but I want all the pages -from ART AND DESIGN to LETRAS- having a portfolio layout with different content on them.
Thanks a lot!!!

You have 2 portfolios: fee reega and codice calixtino on your homepage. Cool.
[portfolio]is a portfolio shortcode. What this does is, it displays ALL your portfolios in the whichever page you place this. This is why ART AND DESIGN is showing ALL (2) your portfolios.
but I want all the pages -from ART AND DESIGN to LETRAS- having a portfolio layout with different content on them.
You can do this. Classify our portfolios into Project Types. Project Types are to Portfolios what Categories are to Posts.
Then in the ART AND DESIGN page, instead of displaying all portfolios using
[portfolio]you can display only ART AND DESIGN projects using
[portfolio include_type=art, design]assuming you added art and design portfolios with art and design Project Types.
You can check other attributes of portfolio shortcode in this support document.
Give this a try and let’s see how it goes.

Ok, I have created a new portfolio project called “Wedding dress”. At the same time, I have created a new portfolio project type called “art and design”. Then, I have classified “Wedding dress” into the category “art and design”.
In the other hand, I have gone to my page “Art and Design” and pasted this:
[portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false include_type=artanddesign columns=3 showposts=10 orderby=date]
But I still get on the page Art and Design all the portfolios; not only the one I want there (“Wedding dress”), but also “Fee Reega” and “Codice Calixtino”.
Maybe I have not done it properly…
Thank you!

Sorry, I have kept trying and get something, but still not everything!
I have classified the portfolio “Fee Reega” into the project type “music”. Then, I pasted this on the page MUSIC:
[portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false include_type=music columns=3 showposts=10 orderby=title]
And get for this page only the article about Fee Reega, which is what I want!
But can’t get the same for Art and Design pasting
[portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false include_type=art columns=3 showposts=10 orderby=title]Thanks!

Please don’t choose Project Type name with spaces in it.
Instead of art and design choose just art or just design or artanddesign or somethingelse as the Project Type.
Any name without spaces will do.

It worked! Now I have my portfolio projects on their place:
