Multiple Portfolios Not Working

Unfortunately that’s going to be tough to figure out since we can’t see your admin area.

Are you creating a Page and selecting the portfolio template?

Are you sure the category you’re adding to the page exists?

Sorry for the late response, it’s my birthday and I’ve been busy all day.

The login doesn’t seem to work when I try it.

For the WP admin, any email should work, all I would need is a username/password to login with.

For the screenshots, most of us just use something like http://imgur.com to upload pictures since bbPress (the forum software I’m using) doesn’t have an easy way to upload screenshots.

Hi Wes, I am a new user of Epik. Also, belated Happy Birthday!

Multiple Portfolios Not Working for me as well.

This portfolio page should only have one picture but is getting all my pictures, like you can see here. http://www.pbase.com/vanwhite/image/154608305

I followed your tutorial here https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-create-multiple-portfolios/

I had made a post and set category to Recipes & Cooking like this

Then I made a page with template set to portfolio; custom fields turned on; Name= query_args; and Value set to Cat= Recipes & Cooking like this

Your tutorial says to set Cat=1, but I don’t have any idea if there is a category number associated with Recipes & Cooking. If so, where would I find it?

My category page is here. Notice the one of interest, Recipes & Cooking

Also, why am I getting the text below my picture like this “[caption id=attachment_187… ? See here

Thanks so much!

@Wes, Thanks for your reply.

1. My name field is equal to query_args
2. My value field is equal to cat=1
When those are set the portfolio page with category set to either videos OR recipes & cooking returns ALL the pictures.
When I set the cat=2 or cat=3 or cat=4 I get nothing and at.

3. How does one know what cat number it is?

4. I did have a content picture in there. That returned the weird text “Caption code…” So, I deleted that picture.

So, please help me with the portfolio page and setting the category. I need to use this feature a LOT!

Thanks.

Wes, thanks for your help. Now “multiple portfolios” is working well. Below is a summary of the complete process for making a portfolio showing only one category, for any other newbies that have trouble.

1. Dashboard, Posts, Add New and type the obvious fields.
On the right in the Categories section, check on one or more categories or Add New Category.

2. Dashboard, Posts, Categories
Right click on category name and select “Open link in new window” and look for ID=[a number]. Remember that category number.

3. From Dashboard, Pages, Add New and type the obvious fields. Do not put a picture in the content area, or some weird caption… text will appear.
On the right in the Page Attributes section, set Template to Portfolio.
At the top, expand Screen Options and check the box “Custom Fields.”
In the Custom Fields section at the bottom, in the Name field type “query_args”.
In the Value field type “cat=[category number], e.g. cat=5. Cat= does not work (It can’t be CAPITALIZED.) Neither can it be a category name.

4. Add the new page to the appropriate menu.
