Replace X-Portfolio slug with dynamic Portfolio Category?

[devinelston]

Perhaps I’m missing something, but I can’t get this to work.

I would like my portfolio pages to use their category in the slug. For example, if I had a Portfolio Item for Jurassic Park in the category Films, the slug would be /films/jurassic-park

I can accomplish this pretty easily for blog posts by going to the permalinks area and adding %category% in the custom structure.

However, when I try to do something similar by going to Theme Options > Portfolio > Custom Slug, it doesn’t work. It appears to only want to use a static value for whatever is entered in the slug field.

Am I missing something, or is there another way to accomplish this? (I’m using a local dev environment at the moment, but can put something online if you need it).

Hi Devin,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by X. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.
