      I need more detailed instructions on the Creating Multiple Portfolios tutorial. It says “Then create a custom field and enter query_args in the name field, and cat=1 (for example) in the value field.”

      I don’t know where or how to create the custom field. I found some documentation on the WordPress site that has an example of a custom field, <?php add_post_meta( 68, ‘_color’, ‘red’, true ); ?>

      It looks like the syntax should be <?php add_post_meta( PageID, ‘query_args’, ‘CatID’, true ); ?> for the example above. Is that right?

      Second, where do you put it? WordPress makes reference to custom field appearing after you create the page, but I don’t see it anywhere. Another post in this forum says they found it in the “Panel” but where is that?

      A few more steps would be greatly appreciated, and a good addition to the tutorial as well.

      Thanks much.

        Hello Gary,

        If you don’t see a custom field near the bottom of your page editor, then it’s probably disabled by default in your WordPress installation. To enable it, take a look at the very top right of your page editor and click the tab that says “Screen Options”. Then check the box that says “Custom Fields”….then scroll to the bottom of the page and you should see it show up. Once you see it show up, then you can add in the code from the tutorial.

          That’s it! I’d never used it before and it was indeed disabled. Thanks for the help, Wes.
