Works

Updated

Overview

Works are your individual portfolio projects, found under the Portfolio menu in the admin (you can rename it). Each work has a featured image, an excerpt, a case study you build in the editor, and an optional title and subtitle in the sidebar's Portfolio panel.

Add works under Portfolio → Add Work. New works start with a background section, featured image, and title already in place.

Content that listings use

  • Title — the work's title, unless you fill in Card Title in the sidebar's Portfolio panel to use a different name on cards
  • Subtitle — optional line under the name in Collection layouts
  • Featured image — used by every collection block. Logo and packery layouts skip works without one.
  • Excerpt — short summary on cards, sliders, and collection pages
  • Collections — groups that blocks and collection pages can show
  • Filters — labels for the Collection block's filter buttons

Editor basics

  • Fields: title, case study content, featured image, excerpt, comments, revisions, and author
  • No archive page: put a Collection block on a page instead
  • URL slug: Slug under Portfolio → Settings → Setup (default work)
  • Organizing: Collections (each gets a public page) and Filters (for filter buttons only)
  • Parent work: a work can sit under another work, like a child page

Editing a work

The editor shows the work's page with its template at the top: a drawing of the layout, its name, and Change to pick another. Templates other than Default add a header around your content, and each part of it (featured image, subtitle, short description, collections) has an Edit button that opens it in a pop-up. Your content edits right there on the page.

The templates:

  • Site Default: the Default Template under Portfolio → Settings → Single Page (Default unless changed). New works start here.
  • Default: the page as your theme lays it out: only the content you build.
  • Image Hero: the featured image across the page with the title and subtitle over it, then your content.
  • Project Header: the title, subtitle and collections, the featured image under them, then your content.
  • Side Details: your content, with the title, subtitle, short description and collections in a column beside it that stays put (above the content on phones).
  • Split Intro: the featured image beside the title, subtitle and short description, then your content.

Portfolio panel

In the editor sidebar, the Portfolio panel shows how the work looks on Collection cards: its featured image, card title, subtitle and short description, each with an Edit button. Your Collection blocks may hide some of these.

  • Card Title — optional name for listings; leave blank to use the work's title
  • Subtitle — optional second line on Collection cards, lists, overlays, and the templates that show it
  • Template — the work's page template (see above)

Older sites had separate Image and Excerpt sidebar fields. Those are now hidden; use the featured image and excerpt instead.

Tips

  • Turn on Prev/Next Navigation under Portfolio → Settings → Single Page to link neighboring works at the bottom of each case study.
