multiple header pictures
-
Hi
I want to create a portfolio website and searching for the right theme. I want to display a different custom header for each page (e.g. about me, portfolio, skills, contact) and at the same time it should have a “feature content with pages” feature (projects get listed as squares on the first page) like on https://sketchdemo.wordpress.com. I could only find one theme called purpose (https://purposedemo.wordpress.com). Are there any other themes which can do the same?
Thank you for your help and time.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @dustydave2014,
It’s also possible to feature your portfolio items on the home page of Espied, Orvis, and Illustratr, while also setting a different featured image for use in the header of each page. Snaps is another nice example of a portfolio based theme, although it doesn’t support custom headers on individual pages.
I also recommend filtering themes in the repository based on the portfolio, custom header, and featured image tags for other themes that may match up to what you’re after:

Let me know how you get on with those suggestions or if you have any further questions. :)

Thank you for your help. I liked Orvis and Illustratr so I tried to insert a header. But the header image doesn’t go from edge to edge of the page plus the header is under the title “David Staub’s Portfolio” instead of mixing title and picture like in the purpose theme. I guess I can’t change this or do you have a tipp?
I found some good templates with help of the tags. Thank you.
Another question regarding the purpose theme: Do you know if it’s possible to use the portfolio template for an overview over the projects and at the same time use the slideshow template for the project page (using the slideshow to show different pictures of the project)?

…and I didn’t see examples of pictures included in the text. Is it possible to integrate pictures in the body text?

Hi there,

There aren’t any built in settings to adjust the way the header image looks. You could potentially make some changes with some custom CSS (which is an option that comes with the WordPress.com Premium or Business plans), however, I recommend trying to find a theme that matches up as closely as possible to the layout you’re after before considering CSS changes.
Another question regarding the purpose theme: Do you know if it’s possible to use the portfolio template for an overview over the projects and at the same time use the slideshow template for the project page (using the slideshow to show different pictures of the project)?
The slideshow template needs to be assigned to a page in order to generate the slideshow at the top, however, you could use the portfolio shortcode to pull in a list of all your portfolio items underneath the slideshow.
It’s worth noting that the portfolio items won’t be styled in the same way that they appear on the portfolio template with the shortcode option.
…and I didn’t see examples of pictures included in the text. Is it possible to integrate pictures in the body text?
You can add media directly to any post or page. If you’re using the slideshow template, you will need to unattach the pictures from the page in order for them to appear in the main content.
Let me know if that helps out or if you have any extra questions.

Thank you for your help. Appreciate it.
I chose the illustratr theme. But I still have two problems :)
1. How can I change the order of the displayed portfolio? https://staubdavid.wordpress.com/portfolio/
2. Is there a possibility to have a featured image above the title of a portfolio page? On the theme website they only say archive page or blog index https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/illustratr/
Thank you.

Hi there,
1. How can I change the order of the displayed portfolio? https://staubdavid.wordpress.com/portfolio/
Portfolio items are displayed in descending order of date. You could therefore change the ordering by changing the date of a portfolio item. To do this, navigate to its editor and then select Edit next to the date in the Publish module.
2. Is there a possibility to have a featured image above the title of a portfolio page? On the theme website they only say archive page or blog index https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/illustratr/
You can set a featured image for that page via the Portfolio panel of the WordPress.com Customizer. :)
Let me know how you get on with that!

Thank you. You know all the tricks ;) :)
You can set a featured image for that page via the Portfolio panel of the WordPress.com Customizer. :)
Sorry, I mean the portfolio subpage (one of my projects). I know that you can add a featured image but it doesn’t appear on the project page itself.
for example:

Thank you for clarifying and sorry for my initial misunderstanding.
Illustratr does not display a featured image at the top of individual portfolio pages, by design. There isn’t a built in setting to change this. You’ll need to manually add the featured image to the main body of the page if you’d like it to display there.
Let me know if that information helps out!

hi, another week, another problem :)
how can I change the size of a tiled mosaic or square tiles layout so the width of text and the images is the same?
https://staubdavid.wordpress.com/portfolio/digital-camera-50/ -
and another problem: I also want single images inside the text with the same width like the text.
is there a certain width of the images so they have the same width like the text? I found some measurements on the sketch theme website:The main column width is 764.
The sidebar width is 273.
Featured Images for portfolio projects are 800 wide by 600 (landscape), 1067 (portrait), and 800 (square) height
Featured Images for single posts are 764 by 300
Images for Featured Content should be at least 1092 in width.
Custom header image should be at least 1092 in width.or how can I make text and images the same width?

Hi @dustydave2014. :)
how can I change the size of a tiled mosaic or square tiles layout so the width of text and the images is the same?
Illustratr increases the width of galleries on portfolio pages with the following CSS:
@media screen and (min-width: 1220px) { .portfolio-entry .video-wrapper, .portfolio-entry .portfolio-gallery { margin-left: -130px; width: 1100px; } }It’s therefore an explicit design decision from the theme’s author to feature galleries at a larger width on individual portfolio pages. The only way to override this design decision is with the following custom CSS:
@media screen and (min-width: 1220px) { .portfolio-entry .video-wrapper, .portfolio-entry .portfolio-gallery { margin-left: inherit; width: inherit; } }The option of adding CSS is a custom design option that’s included as part of our WordPress.com Premium and Business plans.
If you don’t wish to upgrade to one of those plans, you could consider copying your content over to a standard post or page, where the galleries would appear at the same width as the content.
and another problem: I also want single images inside the text with the same width like the text.
Illustratr’s main column width is 840px (which you can see under the Quick Specs section of the theme’s documentation here).
If you upload images that are that width or larger to your portfolio project, then they will take up the full width of the content area by default.
Let me know if that helps out or if you have any extra questions.

hi siobhyb
thank you.
The problem with 840px images is that they get pixelated. So there is no other option to integrate them with higher resolution?
ok, switching to a standard post or page doesn’t work for me because I want to have the projects tiles and that’s only possible with portfolio pages. Right?
I switched to the sela theme :)
-
Hi @dustydave2014,
It is only possible to display portfolio projects in a grid with Illustratr, that’s right.
As you’ve now switched to Sela, you could assign the Grid Page template to page and then add your content as child pages to it. The child pages will then display in a grid on the main parent page, as shown in the theme’s demo site here:
https://selademo.wordpress.com/page-templates/grid-page/
Let me know if that works as a solution for you!

hi siobhyb
how can I change the order of the pages listed in a grid page template within the sela theme. changing the edit post date didn’t change anything.
https://staubdavid.wordpress.com/projects/ -
Hi @dustydave2014,
You can manually set an order for your child pages via the editor’s Page Options module:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-options/#order
Let me know how that goes or if you have extra questions. :)
