Portfolio customization

    Hello,

    Firstly, I love Argent. Thank you for providing such a beautiful and clean theme.

    I’m new to WordPress and have managed to do a lot of the customization myself with the help of YouTube videos, but I’m stuck on a few things with the portfolio:

    If it helps, this is my site: bettinamelher.com

    1. Is there a way of changing the order of the portfolio items? I read that the order can be reversed, but I was wondering if it’s possible to change the order completely?

    2. The featured images for each portfolio is distorted / cut off on the home page. I would like to create new images (with a black background and a 3D version of my books) to replace the existing images. In order to do that I would ideally need the size requirements suitable for the portfolio featured images. If possible in pixels.

    3. Can the portfolio appear on more than just one page (in this case it’s currently displayed on the home page). But I would like the portfolio to appear on my ‘BOOKS’ page as well. Is there a way I can do that?

    Many thanks in advance for your help. I’m currently on a steep learning curve with wordpress but happy to report it’s getting better every day.

    I have some other questions, but they are not related to the Portfolio so I will create a new thread.

    Thanks again.

    Bettina

  • Hi Bettina,

    Is there a way of changing the order of the portfolio items?

    The best way to do this on Argent is to change the publish dates of the portfolio items. The one with the newest publish date will always appear at the top left, while the one with the oldest publish date will appear at the bottom right.

    I would ideally need the size requirements suitable for the portfolio featured images. If possible in pixels.

    The home page shows the portfolio featured images at a size of 310px by 250px.

    Can the portfolio appear on more than just one page

    Yep, you’ll also find it here:

    But I would like the portfolio to appear on my ‘BOOKS’ page as well. Is there a way I can do that?

    You can display the portfolio on a static page by using the portfolio shortcode. However, it won’t have the same appearance as the /portfolio link above or the home page.

    I have some other questions, but they are not related to the Portfolio so I will create a new thread.

    Great! There’s lots to learn, and making new threads for separate topics is the best way to get help.

    Hi!

    My portfolio links are in the correct order, but when I’m on a particular one, the navigation tab at the bottom points to the left, instead of the right. Is there anyway to fix this?
