How Portfolio Manager works – The workflow

It is pretty easy to create a beautiful portfolio list or a gallery. It is all done in the plugin interface with zero coding requirement.

The short version is:

  • Upload portfolio items
  • Create lists
  • Display the lists wherever you need them

Bellow we go in a little more details.

First you need to upload your portfolio/gallery items. Each item is a separate post similar to the default WordPress posts. You can fill in variety of options for each portfolio posts: title, description, short description, details, upload media, and choose categories and tags.

Once you have uploaded your portfolio items you can create lists with them:

  • Choose a template
  • Select the portfolio items to display
  • Modify the layout by using the settings for your list
  • Add some custom styling via the custom css field, if needed.

Once you have a list created you can display it wherever you need: your pages, your template files, your sidebars as a widget.

There is no limit for the number of portfolio items or lists you can create. Have as many as you need.

Templates

This plugin comes with 8 templates to choose from. Once you select a template then you can customize it however you want.

  • Grid – Portfolio 1 col
  • Grid – Portfolio 4 col
  • Image Left – Portfolio 1 column
  • Newspaper – Portfolio 3 columns

Single portfolio items

Portfolio items are well organized in a portfolio custom post type, categories, tags and item details. Use the Media Left template or the default theme’s post template to present your portfolio post items.

Media Types

Select media types for your portfolio items / posts:

  • Image
  • Slider
  • Youtube
  • Vimeo

Images are optimized to save your hosting storage. Do not worry, quality stays as the original image you have uploaded.

Add a list in your site

Once you have created a portfolio list you can add it everywhere in your site:

  • In template files
  • In a sidebar

Every list has a shortcode you can use to add the list in a page/post content area. Or add it in a template file by using the do_shortcode WordPress function. The plugin comes with a widget that can be used to add portfolio posts list in a sidebar.

portfolio-manager-lite/classes/otw_pm_dispatcher.php on line 144 Error muy típico en este plugin y sigue sin resolverse. Se puede ver en todas la webs donde se ha tratado de utilizar dicho plugin. Errores a lo bestia. Una Solución porfavor!! O arreglenlo que va siendo hora. Dejar las cosas a medias da reconocimiento de chapucero no de profesional. (No linka con la imagen al hacer click sobre ella.) Sale dicho error.

The free version works great for me, easy to install and to implement. The pro version has more choice and when it is available I think I will buy it. For displaying a portfolio in images or slider on a time line or in grid works great. I recommend this.
