How do I create a portfolio using the Vantage theme? I Googled it, and it said to go to Settings → Writing → Your Custom Content Types and checking the “Portfolio Projects” option. But that doesn’t seem to work…

    Hi Emily

    Thanks for running Vantage.

    Vantage doesn’t have any custom post types, that advice could be referring to a plugin.

    To create a portfolio use categories and posts. Add your work as posts. On the page you’d like to display your work use Page Builder to insert a Post Loop. You can choose the template and many other settings. Then in the very last field called Additional add an argument like:

    cat=x

    Where x is the ID of the post category you’d like to filter by. You can also comma separate categories.

    Instead of using the Post Loop widget you can also use the Post Carousel widget in our Widget Bundle plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/. This widget only has one template, the Carousel template. However it’s more developed so you won’t have to worry about inserting the argument into the Additional field as you would with the Post Loop widget.
