SEO fields for Portfolio Projects

Hello there, Cemal.

What are you trying to accomplish exactly, and what isn’t working the way you expect?

Would you be able to take a screenshot of the fields you’re talking about on a working page or post and then another screenshot of your Jetpack Portfolio where you expect those fields to be?

Feel free to use an online service like https://snipboard.io to host those screenshots for us, then we can take a look and go from there. Thanks!

I thought this was very basic, but I am trying to add two meta tags, title, and description. At the bottom of every post and page edit pages, there is a section for “Theme SEO Settings” as you can see in the screen captures for a post or page edit, but there is nothing, I mean NOTHING when I edit a project.

I hope this explains what I am trying to do with the screen captures.

Thank you

Cemal

Hi @acekin –

Thank you for sharing the screenshots.

After looking at these and reviewing your site, I determined that this relates to the Genesis Framework that your site is using. The SEO settings you reference are part of Genesis and not Jetpack.

I recommend reaching out to Genesis support to see if there is a way to add their SEO tools to Custom Post Types.

You can reach their support here:

@bobmatyas, I will contact StudioPress. The reason I knocked on your door is the direct link to the portfolios component of JetPack being the only place it is missing. I will come back and report here if I find anything positive.

Hey @acekin

Thank you for your help on this case.

Let us know if you have any questions.

My best regards,

Michelle

I have heard from the Genesis team, they suggested adding Yoast to cover this situation. It looks like this missing piece is the proverbial one falling through the cracks. I have no idea what the source of the problem may be but the parties involved seem to point at each other.

I am not inclined to install Yoast for 12-15 posts in this taxonomy. I will learn to live with the missing SEO fields. Part of the fault lies with me. When I first started using the JetPack portfolios extension, I should have noticed the missing SEO fields.

A word of warning for the future users of this combination, maybe even others.

After a suggestion from the StudioPress forum and a bit of help from the BizBudding.com theme developers, I ended up adding the following code to the Code Snippets plugin. Now, I can see the SEO fields when editing JetPack portfolio projects. If you don’t have it, you may need to install the Code Snippets plugin or find another way of adding this to your site. FYI.
