Reply To: Portfolio Template

“I’ve got one category (blog) that has posts which I want to show on the portfolio page but I don’t want to exclude those posts from the blog page.”

By default they won’t be excluded from your Main Blog page. The only way they’ll be excluded from your Blog page is if you manually add your Category ID’s under Exclude Categories in the Blog Page Template section from your Genesis Theme Settings page. If you don’t do that then those same posts in your Portfolio will show up on your Blog page since they are all considered Posts.

“I was wondering if I could use something apart from categories to filter the posts that will go to the portfolio page.”

Only Category ID’s will work for this type of Portfolio. WordPress (in addition to Genesis) allows you to show specific Categories only, there’s no code/option to show regular Tags.
