How to Showcase Your Work With a Portfolio Page

Posted on 145 Comments

Two weeks ago I unveiled a minimalist design on my website. You’ll see in the comments I was asked a number of times if (or when) that design was going to be available on StudioPress.

Normally I make folks sweat it out a few months, but this time around I’m throwing y’all a bone and developing the Minimum 2.0 theme which should be available soon.

For those of you who purchased Minimum 1.0 you will receive access to this free of charge.

But that’s just the beginning of the Christmas stocking I have in store for you – I’m taking the updated Minimum theme to a place that I’ve wanted to go for quite some time.

Introducing the Portfolio Page

What good would a minimalistic freelance-style design be without the ability for someone to, well, showcase their work?

As I’ve been working on the new Minimum theme, it struck me (the pokes from people on Twitter helped as well) that I need to create a way for people to show off what they do.

Whether it be photos if they are a photographer or web designs if they are a developer, there should be a method for them to do this.

So I’d like to introduce the Portfolio page, which is built with Custom Post Types.

Here’s a screenshot of the Portfolio admin section:

Portfolio Page

The Gifts Keep on Coming

Not only are we planning on having the Portfolio capability included in the Minimum theme, I’m going to teach you how I added it to the theme as well.

Now isn’t that special? (said “The Church Lady” style.)

I do want to point out that this functionality will be served by way of a plugin that we’re going to release. This means you’ll be able to add a Portfolio page to any Genesis-powered website.

But in the meantime, here’s the layman’s way of doing it.

Adding a Portfolio Page

Open your child theme’s functions.php file and place the following code:

/** Create portfolio custom post type */
add_action( 'init', 'portfolio_post_type' );
function portfolio_post_type() {
    register_post_type( 'portfolio',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Portfolio' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Portfolio' ),
            ),
            'exclude_from_search' => true,
            'has_archive' => true,
            'hierarchical' => true,
            'public' => true,
            'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'portfolio' ),
            'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'trackbacks', 'custom-fields', 'comments', 'revisions', 'page-attributes', 'genesis-seo' ),
        )
    );
}

This code registers the Portfolio custom post type, and sets up a number of arguments that we’ve used for the Minimum theme. (more on the register custom post type function)

Be sure to save your permalinks once you’ve added this code. Go to the Settings > Permalinks page in your WordPress dashboard and click the “save changes” button.

Now that you’ve got the Portfolio custom post type registered in your theme, you’ll want to create an archive-portfolio.php and a single-portfolio.php file.

These will output the “archive” page and the “single” page for the Portfolio custom post type.

Create a file called archive-portfolio.php file and place the following code:

<?php
/**
 * The custom portfolio post type archive template
 */

/** Force full width content layout */
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

/** Remove the post info function */
remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );

/** Remove the post content */
remove_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

/** Add the featured image after post title */
add_action( 'genesis_post_title', 'minimum_portfolio_grid' );
function minimum_portfolio_grid() {
    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ){
        echo '<div class="portfolio-featured-image">';
        echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() .'" title="' . the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) . '">';
        echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'portfolio');
        echo '</a>';
        echo '</div>';
    }
}

/** Remove the post meta function */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );

genesis();

Please note that the Portfolio archive page will output the WordPress featured image, so when you upload a photo be sure to select that option. Otherwise your image won’t be displayed.

This means that you should register a featured image size in your child theme’s functions.php file by using the following code:

/** Add new image sizes */
add_image_size( 'portfolio', 330, 230, TRUE );

Now you’ll want to create a file called single-portfolio.php file and place the following code:

<?php
/**
 * The custom portfolio post type single post template
 */
 
 /** Force full width content layout */
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

/** Remove the post info function */
remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );

/** Remove the author box on single posts */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post', 'genesis_do_author_box_single' );

/** Remove the post meta function */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );

/** Remove the comments template */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post', 'genesis_get_comments_template' );

genesis();

Lastly, you will want to style a few pieces of the Portfolio archive and single pages. Here is the CSS that was used in the upcoming Minimum theme:

/* Portfolio
------------------------------------------------------------ */

.post-type-archive-portfolio .portfolio {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 15px 30px;
    width: 340px;
}

.portfolio-featured-image a img {
    -moz-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
    -webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
    border: 10px solid #f5f5f5;
    transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

.portfolio-featured-image a img:hover{
    border: 10px solid #ddd;
}

.single-portfolio #content {
    text-align: center;
}

.single-portfolio img {
    border: 20px solid #f5f5f5;
}

Keep in mind that this CSS was used based on the 1140px width of the Minimum theme. If your theme is only 960px wide, you’ll need to adjust the width in the CSS above accordingly.

And there you have it — that’s how you can showcase your work with a portfolio page for your Genesis-powered website. Pretty neat, huh?

Again, I want to mention that we’ll soon be releasing a plugin for this but I realize in the meantime some hardcore devs want granular control over things, so I spelled it all out here.

So what do you think? Can you see yourself using this? Is this something you’ve been waiting for us to build? Sound off in the comments below.

          We actually might not release it by way of a plugin, because it’s so lightweight it might not make sense to do so. In other words, just adding the function to the functions.php file is all you need – so why bother with an extra plugin step?

          • Natalie says

            I get that (and really appreciate the step by step here) but there are times when I don’t have complete control (when working with others etc) that having a plugin to keep the “chickens in line” as it were, would be very helpful. Hope you guys still consider it!

          • says

            Looks good. A couple of points. Firstly is there a reason why you have not pre-fixed your custom post type? Also if it is not a plugin in the future, users would have to recode theirs child themes if they switch to anther theme. Would best be a plugin for me.

          • says

            Hey Mark – sorry for the delay in response, your comment got marked as spam for some reason. There’s no reason we didn’t prefix the custom post type – I’m presuming you meant to personalize the function? As for a plugin – we decided against it, as the code used was so simple and didn’t think there’d even be a need to update it.

      • says

        This is great. I actually bought Minimum yesterday just so I could steal this code for my site…and then I found the instructions here. :-) Anyway, I’m having trouble with the grid (see http://www.aucoeurdesign.com/portfolio/ — there’s empty/open spaces) and I’m wondering if it’s because of the width and if I ought to try Bill’s code instead? I have a site that is 960 wide, plus I am leaving the sidebar on.

      You’re most certainly welcome Jonathan. I figure it doesn’t take much time for me to editorialize the process especially since I just went through it. And with our “functionality by way of plugin” approach we’ve been taking, it’s really easy to port it over as a plugin as well.

    This is SO wonderful Brian. I’ve been waiting for this feature forever. Can this be done to ALL Studio Press themes? This is going to be SO wonderful for the wedding industry. Thanks for creating and sharing how to do it sooner. Of course I will be a fan of the plugin when released. Congratulations!

    Brian,
    I’ve been struggling trying to add the Genesis Responsive Slider to my page using Landscape which has no widgetized home areas or home.php. I don’t know CSS or WP-coding save for reverse-engineering some bits and pieces so I have been struggling with my child stylesheet, functions.php, etc. This tutorial will help me understand the bits of code I have been wrestling with for the past day or at least give me a way to post my photo portfolio in a different manner. Thanks and good timing.

    Awesome explanation, You Rock! I have read a lot of different things about building the pages for archives-name.php and single-name.php, but I still don’t understand why some people write the file names like you did and others write archives_name.php and single_name.php. What I’ve heard is its better to write the file names with ( _ ) underscore. Is there a difference between using either way, and if so what is your take on it?

    Thanks!

      When you use the hyphenated version WordPress picks up the appended text by default. In other words when you use single-portfolio.php it automatically uses that template file for the single page for the portfolio custom post type.

    Thank you so much, this is great and helps me with a Genesis site I’m designing. One question, is it possible to define the featured image so the it’s not a fixed proportion, or crops the image? My goal is to have small images of the artwork display on the archive page that aren’t cropped and vary in proportion. (I’m learning as I go, and I obviously have a lot to learn.)

    Thanks a lot for this.

    I’ve just been customising a current Genesis theme to include a portfolio custom post type as I update and convert my design portfolio over to WordPress. This woud have been usefull a few months back, never the less it’s great to be able to check code from the source to confirm I’m doing things correctly .

    Many thanks and looking forward to the plug which might come in usefull for when I dont need granular control over everything as you put it.

    Quick question…after creating the archive-portfolio.php and single-portfolio.php files, do we put them in the root directory of the child theme? I followed your tutorial to the letter, and for some reason I’m still not seeing my new pages when I create a new Portfolio post. I can only assume that I put them in the wrong directory.

    Brian,

    I actually made a thread on this a few months ago on the Genesis Forums about my best bet of displaying a portfolio. I struggled to find a functional solution, and acutally left the project alone for a few months; http://protechig.com/portfolio/ it’s about as basic as it gets. I’d like to be able to take your description a few steps further and instead of making it geared towards more of photography, gear it towards web design, but that’s all styling & custom fields.

    Anyway, this is a really awesome thing, and I’ll be updating a few of my clients’ photoblog sites in the next few days to have it reflect the portfolio. I love your posts on custom post types, I have actually used them all the time since I found out about them from your site.

    Thanks

            There is, but it’s pretty hard to describe in the comments how to do. The gist is that you need to make a custom taxonomy, and attach it to the custom post type.

    Brian,
    I am using the Platinum them and I added the code, created the files, and uploaded them. In the admin area I have a new area under “Comments” called portfolio that lets me see existing and create new. When I “add” a new portfolio page, I lose/don’t get the functionality.

    I don’t see anywhere on the new portfolio page where I can tell it what other categories/posts to pull into the new portfolio page like you would on the Crystal theme. I also don’t see any widgets to them, like on the Lifestyle theme. What am I missing to put this together?

    Reply

    • says

      The Lifestyle theme has a portfolio section that is completely different than what we have in store for the Minimum theme. All you’d need to do is add a new portfolio entry, upload an image and make sure you mark that as the featured image.

    Brian,

    Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have been wanting this feature for some time. I do have a question regarding implementation:

    1. The Portfolio is a completely separate class to posts and pages, am I right? Is there any way to create a Portfolio page to highlight all the posts from a specific category? I imagine I would create a custom field, but would this work?

    Thanks again for all of the great work from you and the StudioPress crew. I too would welcome a plugin form of this functionality.

    Reply

    • says

      Ian, the way this is right now – yes, it’s using a custom post type which uses a “portfolio” archive page. In order to do what you want, you’d have to enable custom taxonomies for the portfolio custom post type and then use taxonomy files in your theme to display for a specific “category”. (if that makes sense.)

        I kind of understanding what you’re saying.

        Is this functionality native to the code you’ve provided or should I wait for the plugin? Will it be available in the plugin? Is it obvious how to do this or can you please point me in the direction of another tutorial?

    Thanks for this – your timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I’ve dropped this into a client site and am presenting very soon!! I would love to extend it a bit more: is there a way to create pagination between the posts? (on the actual post page – a button that says “next” or something to that effect)

      Yes, in fact if you place the code below into your child theme’s functions.php file you’ll be able to specify how many posts to show on the portfolio archive page. If you have more posts than what you specify, the pagination will show by default.

      /** Change the number of portfolio items to be displayed (props Bill Erickson) */
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'minimum_portfolio_items' );
function minimum_portfolio_items( $query ) {

    if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && is_post_type_archive( 'portfolio' ) ) {
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', '12' );
    }

}

        Thanks for your quick response, Brian! This will certainly be helpful to add.

        I was actually hoping to paginate within the single portfolio display so that when the user is looking at one portfolio post, they will have one click to get to the next post rather than back to the archive and then into the next post.

        I keep thinking I should editing the single-portfolio.php template file…

        Or, would adding something like ‘paged’ => $paged to the array in the functions file solve it?

          Nm, this worked (added to functions.php) :

          function test_single_nav() {

      Be sure to resave your permalinks after you add the code into the functions file. As for a page template, no it’s not – you’ll find the page on the yourdomain.com/portfolio/ path of your website.

      The featured post widget does not show custom post types, but you can use the ‘featured post widget amplified’ plugin. works a treat. (it uses different class names, so add these to your stylesheet too)

    I am developing a site using the Balance theme which seems to use the same Portfolio as the Minimum theme. It would be great if I could have subcategories for the Portfolio.

    In the example you provided, the photographer might have more than one photo for each location – Antarctica, etc. (and probably would!). Clicking on the Antarctica link could bring the visitor to another page with another grid of just Antarctica photos with captions.

    Maybe clicking on those photos could bring the visitor to one page with that photo + details.

    Can the Portfolio be modified to accomplish that?

    The Portfolio post type nicely appears in my menu and I can create Portfolio items. Unfortunately, after publishing, I get a 404 page.

    Anyone got an idea what’s going on?

    Thanks!

    Brian, never mind, just figured out, had not seen the zip button, first time using github. Will signing up and following you as well. Once again, your work is awesome, this is what web design is supposed to be like.

    Fantastic post, just what I’m looking for.

    I’ve run into a problem when viewing the ‘single’ page though. The image isn’t appearing, everything else is though.

    I’m using the Dynamik Framework for Genesis though, I don’t know if that would make a difference?

    I’m attempting to follow the thread.. but do you offer a plugin for this? I’m afraid I may miss one part of code I need to include?
    thanks!

    Thanks for the instructions Brian.

    I am using your super fast awesome synthesis hosting and “Balance” theme.

    How do I access my theme’s root folder to upload the archive-portfolio.php and a single-portfolio.php file? Do I have ftp access? Didn’t need it until now.

    And… can I just make these files in my text editor?

    Signed,

    Thanks!!

      Hey Jamie — yes, if you want to upload files to your theme, you’ll need to do that through FTP. You should have access inside your Synthesis account for your account details which would give you the login info for that.

    Mr. Brian, I have tried to add the code in Metro Theme but it’s not responsive at all.
    As we are now in responsive websites world, would you mind updating the code to make it responsive? At least for guys like us who can’t code!
    I’m looking forward for your kind consideration. As I just mentioned, I’m using Metro Theme so any regard to that shall greatly be appreciated, Sir

    Hello!
    actually i have used this code but my problem is not resolved.
    my site has genesis framework and a child theme. i want to show specific category posts on my home page content area. i used the simple post query

    query_posts(‘post_status=publish&cat=33&wp_get_recent_posts()’);
    in my genesis/lib/structure/loops.php file right above the do_action( ‘genesis_before_post’ );
    but it makes no sense .
    so at last i used this grid loop but using this i am still unable to show category specefic posts on home page as it is not taking the category attribute.
    can u help me that how can i show specific category posts on my home page .

    the main problem is this : by clicking on a particular post link the post doesn’t open on a saparate page it redirects to the same page.

    can anyone help me regarding this???

    Hi Brian, I was wondering if it is possible to display the portfolio archive below on the single post page. So that the portfolio archive is always visible below on the single portfolio post page. If so, would you kindly explain to me how i can make this work. Thanks!

        Thanks for your response, Registering a widget area wouldn’t be a problem. The custom look however. Is that something you could help me with? Thanks

    Hi Brian,

    Awesome! Thanks for the breakdown. However, you mentioned a plugin to accomplish this. Did the plugin ever materialize? if so, what is called?

    Thanks!

    still works like a charm.. but is it possible to remove the item title at the archive page.
    I do not like the titles above my archive page.. and want to show only images..

    How can I do that ?

    Thank you.

      already found the trick.. just needed to add an extra php string

      /** Remove page titles site wide (posts & pages) */
      remove_action(‘genesis_post_title’, ‘genesis_do_post_title’);

      I only want to show the sidebar on this page.. is this possible and how do I need to do this ?

      Thank you

        Add your:

        /* Remove page titles
        ———————————————————— */
        remove_action(‘genesis_post_title’, ‘genesis_do_post_title’);

        to the archive-portfolio.php page, not the function.php , this way it’s only removing page titles on that portfolio page.

        to force full width layout in the archive-portfolio.php, you add:

        /* Force full width content layout
        ———————————————————— */
        add_filter( ‘genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout’, ‘__genesis_return_full_width_content’ );
