Both versions on the same website blog and portfolio

  • [ Moderator note: topic title modified. Adding [ … ] to the title doesn’t do anything. ]

    Hi everybody!
    I’m currently working on a website for some friends and they would like to have a portfolio made out of a simple grid, and a blog too, which they will update pretty regulary.

    I would like to have the portfolio grid as the front-page, and using the blog with articles as another page.

    Now the question is, when I create a new article, it goes directly on the portfolio grid and frontal page.
    How can I set like a new type of article for posting in the blog section?

    The website is this one https://www.mille9e20.com/ and is still in progress!
    The theme that I’m using is the free Pronto theme.

    Thank you for every help, advice and suggestion!
    Cheers!

    That’s an interesting looking theme. Sadly that’s a commercial theme* and those are not supported in these forums.

    Try using the link provided on the author’s web site.

    *Yes, I know that theme did not cost you anything to download it (I think, I don’t register on sites like that myself and won’t download that theme) but that vendor’s business model is based on paid membership.

    Thank you Jan for your reply.
    The theme is free and I don’t want to pay the support membership because it’s full of free forum (like this one) that can help people for free.

    So, I will never have a support until I don’t pay for that membership?

    And, afterall, this should not be a problem of the theme, but I should just have to edit something on my WordPress settings (such as categories, custom post type and blabla..) so we are not editing/using anything about the theme!
    I could have the same problem with all the other themes!

    I think you get this point but I just want to make sure as not to cause any misunderstanding: I’m not trying to wind you up I am attempting to help you get help for your theme.

    We’re just having a polite conversation but it never hurts to remind people what my intentions are. ??

    So, I will never have a support until I don’t pay for that membership?

    No idea myself, I don’t have access to that theme and I’m not looking at the code. That’s not an invitation to post that theme BTW.

    If it were just a CSS issue then someone could post things to try regarding that. Anyone can look at your site’s CSS.

    But for manipulating the PHP code requires access to that theme.

    And, afterall, this should not be a problem of the theme, but I should just have to edit something on my WordPress settings (such as categories, custom post type and blabla..) so we are not editing/using anything about the theme!

    OK but

    I would like to have the portfolio grid as the front-page, and using the blog with articles as another page.

    That portfolio grid is a function of that theme and not from any WordPress setting.

    Switch to the Twenty Thirteen theme and you should see what I mean. You can try creating a static front page (that’s not theme specific) using these instructions.

    But that will not create a “portfolio grid” on the Twenty Thirteen theme.

    You are so polite and kind with me, and I’m sorry if I don’t look the same.

    Anyway, the “portfolio grid” should not be modified.
    I’m just looking for a method to have some posts that goes in a certain Category (Blog and Portfolio categories), while maintaining the function to can display some certain works (Fashion, street and blabla) that are like categories.

    So I’m just wondering how to split this kind of categories and their posts.

    I guess, I’m not sure about this, but this is a WordPress function, not the theme one.
