Portfolio Shortcode Illustratr
-
Hello
I tried to make portfolios and I only want one Type (in this case Animation, so I can split Animation and Illustration which are the two main fields I work in) to be shown. After what I have learned from the help page, I think the short code would look something like this:
[portfolio display_types=true display_tags=false include_type=Animation columns=3 showposts=10 orderby=title]
On the page the portfolios are shown, but both Types(Animation and Illustration) together with a warning:
Your Portfolio Archive currently has no entries. You can start creating them on your dashboard.
Which is a contradiction in itself. I can´t really find out what the problem is. There is no further on the help page, and I tried almost everything an d it is starting to drive me crazy.
This is the page:
https://derekroczen.wordpress.com/animation/
Perhaps you can help me. Thanks a lot, best regards, Derek RoczenThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Can you give me a link to the page where you’re using this shortcode so I can take a look?

Hello Shawna
It is:
https://derekroczen.wordpress.com/animation/
It displays my portfolios, but neiter the right order nor does it just display the animation type. But it says:
Your Portfolio Archive currently has no entries. You can start creating them on your dashboard.
I don´t really understand what I did wrong.
Thank you

Thanks for the link! The “include_type” variable in the shortcode needs to be given the page slug of the project type, not the title. If we take a look at your project types here:
We can see that the slug for your project type “Animation” is actually “animation-3”.
So, to fix your shortcode, change the part that says “Animation” to say “animation-3” and the posts should display correctly.
Let me know if you have trouble with that!

Hello Shawna
Thank you for your help, that did the trick. The only thing I would like now, is how can I avoid, that all the portfolios are shown on each page, if you scroll down (for example here: https://derekroczen.wordpress.com/books/).
Is it possible to have something that looks like this page now lookhttps://derekroczen.wordpress.com/animation/
, with the pictures side by side linking to pages instead to portfolios ( I have a double structure now, which is a little untidy, I am afraid). Do I need an upgrade for this? I will probably buy the domain and use this as my homepage in the future anyway.Thank you very much and best regards from Cologne, Derek

Hi Derek
Are you trying to create a page that looks like this one:
http://illustratrdemo.wordpress.com/project-type/app-design/
The double display of your Portfolio projects is happening because you’ve got your Portfolio shortcode on a page using the Portfolio template. The Portfolio template displays all of your portfolio projects like this:
http://illustratrdemo.wordpress.com/portfolio/
You can either create these pages through the menu settings without the shortcodes. Or you can set the templates on these pages back to default.
If you’d like to go the menu route so these pages look like the first link I gave head over to Appearance > Menus in your dashboard:
https://derekroczen.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php
On the left, select Project Types, check the boxes you want pages of, and click “Add to Menu”.
As for the Books page, if you add these as portfolio projects, you can use the same method to create this page. Otherwise, you’ll need to manually set up the grid and links yourself in the page’s code.
Let me know if I can clarify or help with any of this. Happy new year!
