  I’m using the Sketch theme. I’d like to have only 3 “projects” in the portfolio on my front page, but then have another page with multiple projects, but NOT the projects from the front page. Is that possible?

  I’d also like to be able to have one of the “projects” on the front page link to the multiple project page. Is that possible?

  Thanks,
  Maggie

  See the solution provided in the forum topic Can I have multiple portfolio pages on my blog?

  Depends what you mean. A portfolio contains only (image and title) links to projects, unless you redirect the destinations with CSS customization. However, any project page can contain a link to any other URL, including the second multiple project page.

  Thanks for answering. No, I can not get it set up to do what I want it to do. I’m using the Sketch theme, which has only two menus, one of which seems like is for social media only (I can’t get that to work either.) So I’m not sure I can get this theme to do what I want it to do.

  If I’m understanding your goals correctly, I think using the portfolio shortcode you could accomplish what you’re after.

  I’d like to have only 3 “projects” in the portfolio on my front page, but then have another page with multiple projects, but NOT the projects from the front page. Is that possible?

  You could add a specific tag to those projects you want to display on the other page. Then on that page, you would use the portfolio shortcode to display the projects with that tag, using the include_tag attribute in the shortcode.

  For example, let’s say your tag for those projects is abc, the shortcode structure you’d use on the other page is:

  [portfolio include_tag=abc]

  I’d also like to be able to have one of the “projects” on the front page link to the multiple project page. Is that possible?

  You could accomplish this by using the same tagging method I mentioned above to tag the projects you want displayed and then call up that tag in a shortcode.

  Just let me know if you need further help with it.
