Dear ones,

I’ve read the support page about the Portfolio… thing is: under SETTINGS → Writing → Your Custom Content Types I cannot find this layout. Actually, the only entry in the dropdown is “Uncategorized”.
What can I do?

Thanks very much in advance!
Fabiola

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

https://restonmyheart.wordpress.com/ is not wearing the Harmonic theme. Are you referring to https://jihvagravasini.wordpress.com/?

Hi timethief, thanks for showing up. :)
No, sorry, actually I’m working on a (still) private website for a friend of mine…
I’m struggling a bit in the back-end with this issue… any clues?
Thanks a lot!

Without a URL we Volunteers cannot begin to help you.
If the blog is hosted by wordpress.COM and private then we cannot view it and help Only Staff can do that. Type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

@ jihvagravasini,
Hi,

I’ve read the support page about the Portfolio… thing is: under SETTINGS → Writing → Your Custom Content Types I cannot find this layout. Actually, the only entry in the dropdown is “Uncategorized”.

The “Uncategorized” option in a drop-down menu that you refer to would be at SETTINGS → Writing → Default Post Category, or Default Link Category. You’ll have to scroll further down the page to find the “Your Custom Content Types” section of the page.

Hi musicdoc1,
thanks for answering!
Here, let me show you what I see…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/18t5h3gk6qmcngg/screens.JPG?dl=0

Basically:
– Formatting
– Default Post Category
– Default Post Format
– Default Link Category.

That’s it. All the rest is about e-mail notifications and update services. No more scrolling after that…

Thanks again for your help!
Fab

Are you running WordPress on your own hosting or is the site hosted here on WordPress.com? Even if it’s private, staff can still see it here on WordPress.com, so feel free to post the URL and I’ll have a look for you.

It’s on my hosting, Kathryn!

If it’s a self-hosted site running on your own hosting you’ll need to activate the Jetpack plugin’s Custom Content Types module to use portfolios.

You’re very welcome!

Depending what theme you’re running, you can get further help in the WordPress.org forums. Each free theme has its own forum, linked off the WordPress.org theme page.

You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:

https://wordpress.org/support/register.php

These forums are for folks hosted here at WordPress.com.

Good luck with your new site!
