Orvis theme problem…
-
I’m setting up a website/blog and thought the Orvis theme looked real good, but when I activate it, the way it looks on my website is totally different than the preview.
Like, it’s not the same at all.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Themes do take some time to get set up like their demo sites.
If you don’t mind losing the content you’ve published to your site so far, I can import the settings and some content from Orvis’ demo site for you to then customise/edit to your liking.
We also have the following guidance for you to get set up on your own:
https://wordpress.com/theme/orvis
Orvis makes heavy use of the portfolio content type and, so, the first step to getting your site set up to look like the demo site would be to follow the guidance for publishing portfolio items here:
From there, you would need to assign the Portfolio Page Template to a page and set it as your site’s Static Front Page.
Let me know if you have questions on the above steps or if you’d like me to import the settings and content from the demo site to your own (remember that this will clear your site of all existing content).

I’m having a similar problem. I’m struggling to set up orvis to look like the demo site. I chose orvis because I liked layout of the demo with the about information on the left and images on the right that linked to other content. Can you set my blog up like the demo site? It’s okay if you delete already existing content.

Thanks!

Hi there,
I setup an Orvis based website with a static portfolio home page.
https://www.susidep.it/Can anybody tell me how do I change the number of displayed items on the home page?
Thanks!

abiraghi – you can change the number of portfolio projects displayed under Settings > Writing, next to “Portfolio Projects”.

Hello siobhyb,
I am having the same issue with the Orvis theme, is there any chance you would be able to import the settings / content for me to edit as suggested?
Many Thanks

Joanna – could you please start a separate thread, provide a link to your WordPress.com site running Orvis, and explain where you’re getting stuck in the setup process. We’ll be glad to lend a hand. Thanks!
