Portfolio features

Hi there,

Are you referring to WP Show Post? https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-posts/

It should work for that.

ok thank you ;D

No problem!

Hi,

can I use that together with the project post type?

I'm wondering, what do you mean with "project post type"?

Thanks!

I believe he is referring to custom post type:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/

Also a follow-up question to the support here please:

I am trying to follow this WP documentation page https://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/ but under "Settings → Writing → Content Types" I do not have an option “Portfolio Projects”. Is that to be expected? Can I not use WP Portfolios at all?

Also Portfolios have existed for quite a while now in WP, how come GeneratePress still doesn't support them?

Ah, thank you for the extremely quick reply Leo! Thanks a lot, I am reading it now. I believe my two follow-up questions regarding WP Portfolios and GP are still relevant though. :-)

That's not supported by https://wordpress.org/ I don't believe.

GP doesn't interfere with any of WordPress.org's core functions.

Oh, I didn't realise there was a difference. So there is wordpress.org, which is the self-hosted solution - download WordPress zip and put it online with your own hoster. And this doesn't support portfolios (?). And then there is wordpress.com, which is the hosted, paid (or "free with ads") version of blogs hosted *by* and *on* wordpress.com - and this includes Portfolios (and also custom themes, if you pay, hence the question here of how to use GP with Portfolios - i.e. Uwe must be using a paid wordpress.com plan.

Is that about right?

Don't quote me on this but I don't think GP works with .com version of WordPress.

Our theme is only listed with the .org site:
https://wordpress.org/themes/generatepress/

As for the portfolio question, it would be best to check with WordPress support.

Hmm! Then Uwe's question still doesn't make sense to me - if GP only works with wp.org (and not wp.com), but Portfolios are only available on wp.com, then how come Uwe asks about using GP with Portfolios. Puzzling.

I believe he is just asking for a portfolio like feature, not exactly the feature in wp.com

You might be right.

Hi there,

just to clarify a few things so as other viewers don't get confused:
1. GeneratePress theme can be used on wp .com
2. The GP premium plugin like all 3rd party plugins requires a business account on wp .com to be installed.
