Featured Image and Image Galleries
Use WordPress’s featured image box to upload/select the featured images of the post. The featured image will be used in the listing pages and carousels. It will also be included to the image gallery unless disabled from the portfolio options box. If you have selected Image / Gallery portfolio format, you must use the Image Gallery box to select / upload the gallery images.
Single Portfolio Posts
A single portfolio page can have different layouts.
- Default Layouts
- Image / Gallery
- Video
- Custom Layouts
- Visual Composer
- Regular page
1) Default Layouts
We have two post formats for a portfolio item; image / gallery and video. Please follow the screen options under the portfolio options box to find the best layout variation for your content.
2) Project Info or Custom Layouts
You can use the Project Info to place a box near the main content. It is optional! Select custom layout to disable the box completely. If you are planning to create custom layouts by using the page builder or shortcodes, you must select “custom layout”.
