Reply To: Multiple Portfolios Not Working

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.
