How to create a second Portfolio page for different category of items?

To clarify, I would like to create a new portfolio page e.g. /vibration-isolation-portfolio/

It will have the portfolio item pages that I will create. However at the moment any new portfolio items I create go to the existing portfolio page https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/electron-microscopy-portfolio/

Thank you so much

Hello @ipgill

Here is the document page explaining the Virtue theme’s portfolio features: https://www.kadencewp.com/creating-portfolio-page-kadence-free-themes/. View the section called Step Two: Create a Portfolio Grid Page. The second step describes how to make a new portfolio grid page.

Ok, so I have done this to create a new portfolio page. However it is showing the grid thumbnails of portfolio items that already exist and are relevant to my other portfolio page https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/electron-microscopy-portfolio/

What I need is a portfolio page e.g. /vibration-isolation-portfolio/

It will have the portfolio item pages that will be of completely different products which are not related to the ones shown under /electron-microscopy-portfolio/

I have created this portfolio page https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/vibration-isolation-portfolio/

Then I created a new ‘Portfolio Work Type’ = ‘Vibration Isolation’ and selected it on the page.

Then I created a portfolio item here https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/portfolio/optical-tables/ and selected Portfolio Type as ‘Vibration Isolation’ in the right column. Now I can see this new item under that portfolio page as I wanted. However when I open this item page, ‘Similar Portfolio Item Carousel’ shows all portfolio items instead of just the ones tagged as ‘vibration isolation’ portfolio type.

Moreover, the grid icon on top right of the page, has a hyperlink to https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/portfolio/. How can I change it to https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/vibration-isolation-portfolio/ for this portfolio type?

Thank you for your help

Hello @ipgill

I apologize for overlooking your response. The “Similar Portfolio Item Carousel” shows recent portfolio items, not items of the same portfolio type. The portfolio type helps you show different portfolio types on respective portfolio gallery pages.

Also, I visited the site you linked and did not see a grid icon at the top right of the page. I also don’t see options for a grid icon on the top right of the page. Could you provide more information on what you mean? Below is a screenshot of what I saw.

Hi Gilbert,

Thank you for your help. If you open one of the items on the portfolio page in your screenshot, you will see the grid icon -> it is meant to help navigate back to the portfolio page. The grid icon on, has a hyperlink to?https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/portfolio/. How can I change it to https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/electron-microscopy-portfolio/ for this portfolio type??and to https://nanotechnologysolutions.com.au/vibration-isolation-portfolio/?for other items with that portfolio type?

I understand ‘virtue_portfolio_bottom_carousel’ pulls recent portfolio items. How can I make it to filter only certain portfolio type? I believe we could get the ‘portfolio_type’ of the page and then make the portfolio_carousel to display items matching the ‘portfolio_type’.

Hello @ipgill

Thank you for clarifying the icon was on the single portfolio page. However, there aren’t settings to change the link for the button you’ve identified. If you want the button to take you to a custom link, you’ll need to develop JS code to change the link after the page loads or create a child theme. The Virtue theme has a file at wp-content\themes\virtue\templates\content-singleportfolio.php (lines 14-15) that adds the link. You can override the template with a child theme.

The same is true to filter only certain portfolio types for the carousel. There is a template at wp-content\themes\virtue\templates\recentportfolio-carousel.php that displays the carousel. The loop query starting at line 38 needs to be updated to include the taxonomy for the current portfolio type. You can update the loop code and override the template with a child theme
