What are the main differences between posts and portfolios?

I am using portfolio currently to get category pages for each region. I am curious though, are there features that I am missing out on using portfolio rather than posts? Can you create category pages with posts like you can with portfolio items? Such as further page customization through cornerstone, etc?

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Default WordPress content type are page and posts. Portfolio items on the other hand is an addition bundled in X.

Posts are the default content type that is used for blog posts etc. They are dynamic content, with the first blog post displayed changing as a new one is added.

Pages are the default WordPress content type that is used for static content. Unlike posts these are not time-specific.

Portfolio or for that matter what ever you wish to name it are custom post types and taxonomy and can act as either, a good article to read here: Introducing Custom Posts and Taxonomies

Yes you can apply categories and tags to the posts. As a matter of fact, that’s were the portfolio items inherit those features. And moreover, you can also create your content in Cornerstone.

Hope this make sense. We’d love to know if this helped you.
