Portfolio grid on homepage

[kjo]

Hello. I want to have a small grid on my homepage showing 2-4 of my portfolio items but I cant figure out how to change the post type to “portfolio” when I add a looper. How can I make this possible?

Hey Kris,

Thanks for writing in!

You can use the Looper Provider Query Builder and use the Portfolio post type.

Kindly let us know how it goes.

Hello. This is not EASY as your youtube videos say it is. Mostly because the information you’re showing in the video is 4 years old!!! How am I supposed to follow instructions on something that is so dated?

Here is my new issue (btw this has taken way to long for something simple like adding a portfolio grid to a homepage). I have got the image tiles up, but I have nowhere to select “dynamic” anything other than list or baseline in my menu. In your YT video, he just pulls up the list and selects “dynamic text” to bring in the headlines and other stuff. But this a super old video and that option no longer exists.

So can you please give me very detailed instructions on exactly how to do a looper, including headiline, text and button since your information on YT is so dated?

Also, while we’re talking about old videos. In the first tutorial video he selects different layouts for each device, so he selects desktop and sets his tiles to 6 wide, then he goes to mobile and sets it to 1 column. This does not exist or function that way in the current version of cornerstone, so how can I make my elements dynamic?
