Portfolio with BB theme

I hope it’s OK to post this on this forum as a community/BB team request.

I’m work almost exclusively with BB theme and plugin these days and would be interested if anyone knows of a good plugin that might work well with BB for an artist type of filterable portfolio website.

Thanks, Gerry

Hey Gerry. No problem, you can definitely post this here.

I don’t have experience with this plugin, but you might be able to leverage to do what you’re looking for:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/portfolio-post-type/

The plugin will create a custom post type for portfolio items. As the plugin’s description explains, you’d need to create custom page templates to display the portfolio items. You could likely leverage categories and tags to create “filters” to only show certain types of items.

Hope that helps. Maybe someone else will have a better answer…

My pleasure! Let us know how it works out.

I’m working a website using the plug-in Robby mentioned. Everything works fine for the most part including the PageBuilder, but I can’t create full width rows. When I change a row to full width it gets a bit wider but it won’t cover the whole window, is there any way to go around that limitation?

Hi Arturo! Are you using the Beaver Builder theme? Can you send me a link to the site/page where you’re having trouble? Also, we might eventually need a temporary admin login. If you can set us up with that now, it might save some time down the line. :slight_smile:

Hi Robby,

Just wanted to see if you had a chance to check our website. I posted my last reply as private because it had an admin password to our site, I’m not sure if you saw it.

Hey Arturo! Yes, so sorry for the delay. We we’re doing a AMA yesterday, and I got completely sidetracked.

I think I figured out what’s going on. So, in our theme we have a single.php template for blog posts and the page.php template for pages. The blog template doesn’t have the ability to go full width, and it looks like the portfolio plugin is using the blog template as it’s default.

Here’s a copy paste from the portfolio plugin’s description:

“You’ll need to add templates for archive-portfolio.php and single-portfolio.php if you want to customize the display of portfolio items.”

So, what you’ll want to do is copy the page.php file from the theme and rename it single-portfolio.php. You also can experiment with creating an archive-portfolio.php file (you’ll probably want to copy index.php for that).

Hope that helps. Let me know how it goes!

Thanks Robby, that was extremely simple.
