Why am I getting Extra Thumbnails on portfolio pages?

OK, I think I get it now.

You only apply the Portolio Page Template to the ‘Page’ you elect to serve as the homepage.

I wish it was clearer in the documentation. I’d applied it to every ‘Page’ that displayed thumnbails — with the portfolio shortcode.

I think this is why my homepage was displaying the extra thumbnails (I’d confounded the system?).

And you can only have the featured images slider on the 1 Page that has the Portfolio Template applied to it.

I haven’t figured out how to determine the order of images in the slider yet. I tried page order, with no success. Maybe it’s to do with the time and date stamp of each one. I posted a question about this in the general forum.

Yeah, I would not name your home page, or any other page as “Portfolio”, that can cause issues.

In Sketch, if you enter text in the content area of the main page, when it is set to Portfolio template, that will appear above the Portfolio items on the main page. Is that what was happening? Did you perhaps have the shortcode in the content area of your home page?

Hi there,
I’m afraid that link leads to this page.

Sorry about that, and now I can’t find the page I meant to reference. Do we still have something unresolved? Your main page is looking pretty good.

Hi again.
All is fine now.
Thanks!

Great, and you are welcome.
