  Hi,

  I’m trying to set the portfolio page as my front page. I’m not seeing any option to switching it to the front page.

  On the front page, the only thing that shows up are blog posts.

  I did read somewhere that you have to create a new page and then under the “page attribute” section select the porfolio page and then make that page as your blog page. But under the “page attribute” section there is no such option.

  help please.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you don’t see it please make sure you’ve selected it in your Screen Options. http://support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  Hi timethief,

  Everything in the Screen Options is checked. The only options I have are “parent” and “order.”

  Sorry but I don’t have the time or inclination to work with this or the other portfolio themes in my test blogs so I can provide help. I’ll tag this thread for a Themes Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there,

  The Pictorico theme wasn’t designed specifically to showcase portfolio projects and pages, so there isn’t a way to set a Portfolio Page as the front page of your site with that theme. (You can see the themes that were designed with those portfolio features in mind here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/#portfolio-themes )

  Pictorico is designed to showcase your blog posts on the front page. If you’d prefer to use a static page, instead, you can set up a static front page with this guide: Front Page

  You’ll be able to pick from any of the static pages listed under Pages > All Pages in your blog’s dashboard and set one of those as the front page of the blog.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
