How do I make a Portfolio archive page?

    Hi, I like the plugin so far. It’s been relatively easy to set up. The confusing part for me is how I add all of these on to one page, listed as thumbnails with an excerpt of the description. Is “/portfolio” a custom category? If so, how to I reference the archive page for it? The first screenshot on this plugin’s page (under Screenshots) shows an archive page with portfolio items listed just like a blog does. This is what I would like to achieve. I don’t need “Executor”, “Technology” or any of the attributes, really, except the description, which I have already made for all 15+ portfolio items.

    Please let me know what I need to do to collect these on a single page as thumbnails (similar to a blog main page) with excerpts and a way to click on them to see more (the portfolio item’s own individual page).

    Do I use a shortcode? Do I have to write PHP? Using a created page Portfolio (/portfolio) does not work, but the urls for the items I have created all are under the directory /portfolio (ex: mywebsite.com/portfolio/website-project).

    Please help ??

    Hi,

    Is “/portfolio” a custom category?
    No, it is a separate post type.

    …how to I reference the archive page for it?
    It is necessary to create a page with Portfolio template (https://prnt.sc/d47gym) and add this page to the menu of your site.

    Do I use a shortcode?
    You can use a shortcode [latest_portfolio_items count=3] to display recent portfolios.

    Do I have to write PHP?
    No, there is no need only if you don’t want to change plugin’s HTML structure.

    Sincerely,
