Displaying Portfolio Posts using shortcodes

You can use the shortcode to display the Portfolio posts anywhere in the content editor, Text widget, and the Builder Text module. Below are some sample portfolio shortcodes using different parameters:

    • = display Portfolio posts with default settings
    • = display latest 3 Portfolio posts in grid3 layout, set image dimensions and show postdate
    • = display latest 8 Portfolio posts from Portfolio Category ID 13 in grid2 layout
    • = display latest Portfolio posts from portfolio categories Web Design and Illustration, given that their text slugs are "web-design" and "illustration"

Available parameters:

  • limit = number of post to query/show
  • category = category ID number or category name (default = all categories)
  • image = show post image or not (yes or no)
  • image_w = featured image width
  • image_h = featured image height
  • title = show post title (yes or no)
  • display = display whether full content, excerpt or none (content, excerpt, or none)
  • post_meta = display post meta (yes or no)
  • post_date = display postdate (yes or no)
  • style = layout style (grid4, grid3, grid2). You may also add custom css class in here (eg. style="grid4 custom-class"). Custom CSS class is only required for developers to apply styling.
  • order = specifies ascendant or descendant order (ASC or DESC)
  • orderby = criteria used to order posts (author, comment_count, date, menu_order, and title)
  • unlink_image = remove the link on featured image (yes or no)
  • unlink_title = remove the link on the post title (yes or no)

  • more_text = text that will appear in more_link
  • pagination = display the portfolio pagination (yes or no)

Reinstall Plugin

In the event there are issues/bugs with the plugin or you can't auto update the plugin, try to reinstall it with the latest version. Since WP 5.9, you can reinstall plugins by re-uploading the plugin zip. Reinstalling the plugin shouldn't affect the content/data because they are saved separately in the database. To be safe, you should backup your WordPress site before reinstalling it.

To reinstall a plugin:

  • Download the latest plugin zip
  • Go your site WP Admin > Plugins > Add new
  • Then upload the new plugin zip and WordPress will ask if you want to replace the current version, click "Replace current with uploaded"
