Hello,

I am currently creating a new website on a temporary domain, and I ran into an issue when creating my portfolio. I placed in a test item to see how it would look, but when I select the item from the portfolio page, it brings me to a 404 page instead.

I am not sure why this is happening. WordPress shows me that the item exists in my portfolio, but I cannot visit the portfolio item page.

You can see my issue here (http://6e6.d21.myftpupload.com/sessions/)

Any ideas?

Thank you!

This is very strange, but I moved some pages around and now it is working. I hope that anyone experiencing this issue moving forward will understand what happened!

Thanks for all your help, Rupok.

Glad you were able to figure it out 🙂

Hey again,

Unfortunately, I spoke too soon. I am still having issues with the portfolio.

What I want is to have a cornerstone editable page named “Sessions.”
I then want my portfolio page to be named “Archive”, and to have its parent page set to “Sessions.” The URL for a portfolio item would look something like this… http://www.yoursite.com/sessions/archive/portfolioitem/

I cannot for the life of me see why the pages are appearing as they are. From my WordPress dashboard, I go to the link given to me for my portfolio page and it takes me to a page that says that this page does not exist. I also cannot access a portfolio item, as the link to the item takes me to the same error page.

In addition, my “Sessions” page takes me to a strange version of a portfolio page (no page title or thumbnail for the item shown), even though I cannot find any setting pointing to this page as my portfolio page. From what I can tell from my WordPress dashboard, “Archive” is my portfolio page, but it does not appear that way on the front end of the site.

I have no idea why the pages are acting as they are. Do you have any suggestions? You can use the login information in the private post above if needed.

Thank you.

Hello There,

Thank you for the clarifications. There seems to be a permalink slug conflict. You have assigned archive as a portfolio slug in the customizer. And you also have a page Archive that has a page slug archive. You must change one of the slug to avoid the conflict.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks Rue Nel!

That fixed it.

Happy to hear that.

Feel free to ask us again.

Thanks.

The portfolio page now works great, I just have two quick questions.

1. Where can I control the look of my portfolio items on the portfolio page? Before they looked something like this (http://demo.theme.co/renew-1/portfolio/) and I would like to reflect that look on my portfolio page (http://6e6.d21.myftpupload.com/archive/).

2. I also would like to have a title on my portfolio page. As of right now, there is just this blank space above the items.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

1. http://6e6.d21.myftpupload.com/archive/ this is an archive page (a blog taxonomy page like category page), it’s not a portfolio home page. You should create a page and assign Layout – Portfolio on it. I created a sample here http://6e6.d21.myftpupload.com/sample-portfolio-home-page/

2. The title should display once you create a portfolio home page as #1

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help!

Unfortunately, once I changed the portfolio item to a video (which is what my portfolio will primarily consist of in the future) the page title disappeared on the item page…

Also, is there any way to modify the size and spacing of the portfolio page in the customizer like you can with the blog (ie masonry, full width, 2 or 3 columns)? The portfolio items seem small on a larger screen and strangely just off-center.

Thanks again!

Hello There,

1.) The space on the left side on this porofolio page:http://6e6.d21.myftpupload.com/sessions/archive/ is for your left sidebar. On Appearance > Customize > Layout and Design > Content Layout: You have chosen Sidebar Left, Content Right. This setup will give you sidebar on blog index page, archive pages like this portfolio archive page and then also on your single product page. That is why it is seem off center. It is just occupying the right part where the content is supposed to be. Now if you want to remove this left sidebar on portfolio page, edit this archive page, and on Portfolio Settings > Layout: Choose Fullwidth. See attached screenshot.

Regarding the missing title on video single portfolio page, it is because you have set you main portfolio page as child page. Please note that MAIN PORTFOLIO PAGE cannot be a CHILD PAGE. Try settings your Archive page as main page without parent and the title for single portfolio page will show.

Hope this helps.

Have a great day!
