Hello, I’m trying to figure out the best way to display projects, but can’t seem to figure out what the differences are between blog ‘Posts’ and ‘Portfolio Items’, even after reading 3 of your articles / forum posts: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/features-portfolios/98
i) https://theme.co/apex/forums/topic/portfolio-pages-vs-items-vs-posts/
ii) https://theme.co/apex/forums/topic/posts-vs-portfolio-items-and-how-to-get-them-to-appear-on-the-right-pages/

So far, I’ve created the projects as ‘blog posts’ entitled “Projects” in the main menu, but prefer the way ‘Portfolio’ displays filtered posts by category:
As an experiment, I decided to try using the ‘Portfolio’ feature, and re-created the projects as ‘Portfolio Items’. However, when editing a Portfolio Item, the “Pro” builder tab is not available; only ‘Visual’ and ‘Text’ tabs are displayed (see screen capture below):
Is there a way to use the Pro builder to lay out elements within a ‘Portfolio Item’ page as I have done on this page (which is actually a blog post): http://terracana.priscillathen.com/2016/06/22/hells-gate-slide-remediation/ ?
Or are we forced to use the “old way” of doing things, which displays all elements ( images and text) stacked vertically in 1 single column?
It’s important that I be able to create columns for text and photos as on the blog page:
Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks.
