Theapril, I did match the color on the Hello bar, but the shadow beneath it was unavoidable. It was built-in through no fault of my own. I’m glad you like it!

I have a slider going on homepage in the slider widget (not the wide one). I built a rather long pulldown menu. Then, when I mouse down that pulldown acroos the various menu choices, the menu disappears exactly when my mouse crosses over the pagination for the slider’s images. This bug was so bad, that I could not possibly select one of the lower menu choices.

So, I went into the settings for the slider and turned off the pagination display. Voila! That fixed the problem with the menu. However, if I really wanted the pagination, the problem is not fixed. This is a software bug that should be fixed, but I am not personally worrying about it, since I found this workaround. Here is my webpage http://answeristhefood.com/ where you can see the long menus, but since pagination has been turned off you can’t experience the problem.

Another workaround for others is to break up the long pulldown menus into short subsets, like have subs called A-L and M-Z. If you are not sure how to do this, in the menu edit section, click on links on the left and type # in place of the http:// and then type A-L (or whatever you want it to say) in the field below that. Then, Add to menu.

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.

Hi Wes, I am a new user of Epik. Also, belated Happy Birthday!

Multiple Portfolios Not Working for me as well.

This portfolio page should only have one picture but is getting all my pictures, like you can see here. http://www.pbase.com/vanwhite/image/154608305

I followed your tutorial here https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-create-multiple-portfolios/

I had made a post and set category to Recipes & Cooking like this

Then I made a page with template set to portfolio; custom fields turned on; Name= query_args; and Value set to Cat= Recipes & Cooking like this

Your tutorial says to set Cat=1, but I don’t have any idea if there is a category number associated with Recipes & Cooking. If so, where would I find it?

My category page is here. Notice the one of interest, Recipes & Cooking

Also, why am I getting the text below my picture like this “[caption id=attachment_187… ? See here

Thanks so much!
