  I am trying to do up a portfolio. My problem is I have added the shortcode to the home page and added two projects to the portfolio but I am getting a message saying there are no projects in the portfolio archive.
  When I go to https://ciarasinden.wordpress.com/portfolio/ the projects are there and open when I click on them.
  How can I fix/change this so you can see them on my homepage?

  Thanks,
  Ciara

  Hi Ciara,

  You may have made a small error in the shortcode. What is the shortcode that your are using the static home page?

  I took the shortcode from the tutorial but changed the columns to 2 instead of three.

  [portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false include_type=ui-design,app-design columns=2 showposts=10 orderby=title]

  It must have been the shortcode cause when I use [portfolio] it works.

  See the Display Posts Shortcode support page.
  The following, found in the code you’ve given above, are not valid argument types for WordPress.com display posts shortcode:

  • include_type (though there is a “post_type” argument type)
  • columns
  • showposts (should be “posts_per_page”)

  I don’t know which tutorial you refer to, but it might be applicable to WordPress.org sites rather than WordPress.com sites.

  Sorry, I messed up. Please ignore that last post and I’ll be back with another response regarding the Portfolio Shortcode you provided above momentarily.

  See the Portfolio Shortcode support page.
  The example shortcode
  [portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false include_type=ui-design,app-design columns=3 showposts=10 orderby=title]
  would display the latest ten portfolio projects of the types “ui-design” and “app-design,” ordered by title, in three columns (rows of three), with the types displayed. If you have no projects with the types “ui-design” or “app-design” assigned to them, then this shortcode will display nothing when inserted into a page, post, or text widget on your site.
