    Hi Wes,

    Since the new updates to Genesis…. I seem to be having the devil of a time trying to find the settings for the PORTFOLIO. Where you could select the “characters” or number of posts to show, etc.

    What has happened ( I AM USING EPIC 1.5) is the portfolio no longer is aligned, ie. some are longer than the others, and the “grid” looks random.

    This does not happen on my website using Aspire.

    Thanks!

    Well, it appears to be in the ARCHIVE settings via the customizer. But it is missing a lot of functionality (I think).

    Unfortunately, you no longer seem able to set the number of posts displayed in the portfolio. Ie, my site has it set at 4, but I would like 8 before having to go to the “next page”.

    Hi Andy,

    Unfortunately, I’m planning to remove this feature in the future updates since the Genesis Theme Settings page is gone and the code has changed. It would have to be completely recoded and I would rather leave that type of functionality out of the theme since it’s outdated with the current WP/Genesis standards.

    There are a lot of portfolio plugins available now which should get the job done much better. When I originally added it to my themes back in 2011 there weren’t that many Portfolio plugins available at the time. Now there’s a lot to choose from in the WP repository (free) and also Premium as well.

    If you come across any that you like please let me know.

    Ok! Fixed it with the plugin by Bill Erickson, POST GRID. and used his styling and short codes:

    You have a bunch of options, to display certain posts, author, tags, it’s limitless.

    Here is the short code which basically matches the format which came with Epik:

    [display-posts image_size=”portfolio-thumbnail” wrapper=”div” wrapper_class=”display-posts-listing grid” meta_key=”_thumbnail_id” include_excerpt=”true” excerpt_more=”Continue Reading” excerpt_more_link=”true”]

    Then you use CSS to style the output. The output is from the GENESIS-THEME SETTINGS- CONTENT ARCHIVE.. and the CSS is:

    /* Grid style */
.display-posts-listing.grid {
	display: grid;
	grid-gap: 16px;
}

.display-posts-listing.grid .title {
	display: block;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: Dark Blue;
}

.display-posts-listing.grid .excerpt-more {
	display: block;
  font-style: italic;
  color: white;
  background-color: #070049;
  padding-left: 10px;
  width: 50%; 
}

.display-posts-listing.grid img { 
	display: block; 
	max-width: 100%; 
	height: auto; 
}

    You get error messages, to which he says to disregard.

    So far, only ONE of my themes is not displaying properly, but the others are, so your original code is doing fine. It just can’t be changed as to number of posts displayed or columns, and I don’t want to change them from your original.
