      In the Epik theme, I don’t see a choice for category in the Portolio section at the bottom of the Theme Settings Page. Can I add that?

        I’m sure you could, but I have no idea what all code you would need in order to do it. The exclude feature (which is the exact opposite) is there, so you could just use that instead to show a specific category.

        Wes also has a couple tutorials on how to show certain categories individually here – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/ …this is another easy way of doing it.

          From your link above, Wes writes: Currently, the portfolio options allow you to select all categories or one specific category to be displayed.

          This is the case with Legacy, Ally, and Optimal. So I would hope to be able to have this consistent with Epic. There is something missing or something added so could you advise me or ask Wes?

            No there’s nothing missing, all of the portfolio files (for all themes) are exactly the same. So that functionality will definitely work with Epik.

            You may want to double check to make sure you’ve followed the instructions properly.

              The option to select a category is definitely missing.

              I’m trying to find a way to make this work in Epik as it does in Legacy, Optimal, Ally. That is my simple goal.

                Weird, that’s not what shows up for me….but regardless, the tutorial should still work whether that’s showing up for you or not. I have Epik up and running on a local install and it works fine by following those instructions.

                Basically just add the category in the custom field on the portfolio page and thats it.

                  Even the category selection option seems to be working as well. I’ll send Wes an email to see if he knows what the issue could possibly be.

                    FWIW, I went to another one of my sites build on Epik. It has the same issue. Although I haven’t used a portfolio page on this site, the category selector window is missing. These sites use different hosting services but are started with the same files.

                      HI Eric. Did Wes respond?

                        When you get a chance can you double check your functions.php file to see if the top of the portfolio code looks like this –

                        /** 
                         * Adds Portfolio Options to Genesis Theme Settings Page
                         */ 	
                        function epik_theme_settings_portfolio() { ?>
                        
                        	<p><?php _e("Display which category:", 'genesis'); ?>
                        	<?php wp_dropdown_categories(array('selected' => genesis_get_option('epik_portfolio_cat'), 'name' => GENESIS_SETTINGS_FIELD.'[epik_portfolio_cat]', 'orderby' => 'Name' , 'hierarchical' => 1, 'show_option_all' => __("All Categories", 'genesis'), 'hide_empty' => '0' )); ?></p><!--formatted-->

                        If it’s missing the above code then that’s probably the issue.

                          This is the part I’m referring to in particular –

                          <p><?php _e("Display which category:", 'genesis'); ?>
                          	<?php wp_dropdown_categories(array('selected' => genesis_get_option('epik_portfolio_cat'), 'name' => GENESIS_SETTINGS_FIELD.'[epik_portfolio_cat]', 'orderby' => 'Name' , 'hierarchical' => 1, 'show_option_all' => __("All Categories", 'genesis'), 'hide_empty' => '0' )); ?></p>

                            This was indeed missing. I see your example is taken from Legacy. Is this supposed to also come with Epik? Why not my copy?

                            This is the answer to my first question on this thread.

                              At first I copy/pasted from Legacy earlier (since I’m currently working on a Legacy project)……then I realized you need the Epik code so I opened up the Epik files and reposted the code about a minute after….(which you can see in the second post). The code is the same across all themes, the only difference is the theme names.

                              This was pulled from the Epik functions file. So if its not in your functions file, then you’ll need to probably redownload the theme from your account to make sure its there. I had Wes double check the other day to make sure that everything is there.
