Hi there,

Do you have any specific layout in mind? Does your portfolio require a structured taxonomy? Can you explain a bit more about how you want it to function?

Linking us to a reference site you want to replicate would give us better idea of what to advise. Let us know. :)

I sell wood products from my website store, a local coffee shop, and ESTY. It's a retirement business more for fun, but I enjoy the reward of other people enjoying my work. I've made 75 things in the past year. From small twig/weed vases to big lived edge couch table and end tables. I have in stock about 25 items with 50 sold. I'll pick Bowls: I have one in inventory but I've made 6 other from 3" to 10" in dementor, I want buyers to see what I do for special orders. But my Sale page is cluttered with both Current Inventory and sold. I want to move my sold products to a Portfolio and have them categories: Bowls; Boxes; Lamps; Tables......... My vision is two or three photo in a row of each Category linked to a page line my sale page. Here is an example https://www.aaturning.com/portfolio I would like it to work automated: By marking a product sold it moves to the Portfolio category on it's own. (I've been told that's hard) But a manual process is OK.

My web site is https://edswoodcraft.com/ You can see I have a page for the Portfolio ready to go.

Another issue I can't just uncategorize a product to make it go off the Sale page. It goes to "Uncategorized" and becomes a button on the Sale page. I'm currently categorizing them SOlD

Ah I see.

I think the best way to do this is to have a Portfolio page with a gallery where images point to the single product page of the photo (for potential re-sale).

Here's how I'd go about it.

I'd try to look for a plugin that allows listing of products under category "sold" and place it on a "portfolio" page. It's basically what you did except, instead of simple gallery, the photos link to the single product page it's associated with.

Here's a sample of how I'd do it.

Things needed: WP Show Posts Pro(plugin) or something similar.

Steps:

Creating your "Portfolio gallery"

1.) Create a WPSP list on WP Show Posts Pro.
2.) On WPSP Edit list page, name it "Porfolio" (for labeling).
3.) On the WPSP edit list page, go to the Post tab and set the post type to "product", set the taxonomy to "product_cat" and check "sold" category. Like this - https://share.getcloudapp.com/WnuYyjq1
4.) You then go to Columns tab if you want to adjust the column display.
5.) Go to Content tab and set the Content type to "none" so no excerpt displays.
6.) (optional) You then go to Image tab if you want to make it a lightbox.
7.) Go to meta tab and uncheck ALL items.
8.) Copy the shortcode, we're going to paste this on the Portfolio page we're going to create.

After this create your "Portfolio" page. You can place the "portfolio gallery" you made on WPSP Pro on the page by placing its shortcode on a Shortcode block.
