Creating Portfolio Posts

Before you can display your Portfolio items on a page, you first need to create them. The Portfolio Single Posts Pages documentation goes into extensive detail on the possibilities of the single post page, but here is a short overview of the Portfolio Post creation process.
How To Create A Portfolio PostStep 1 – Navigate to the Portfolio tab in your WordPress admin.
Step 2 – Click on the Add New button to create a post. Insert a title, then insert any post content in the editing field. You can use Avada Builder to create advanced portfolio item layouts, like this one, or you can just add simple text to create a more simple portfolio item, like this one, also from the Agency Demo.
Step 3 – Add and assign Categories on the right side of the post. You can add Categories on the fly by clicking the + Add New Category link at the bottom of the Portfolio Categories section, or you can navigate to Portfolio < Portfolio Categories to set up your Categories independently. To assign Categories, check the box next to the Category name. These Categories are the filters that show above your portfolio items when displaying your Portfolio items with the Portfolio Element. They allow you to filter different types of projects.
Step 4 – Add and assign any associated Skills on the right side of the post. You can add Skills on the fly by clicking the + Add New Skill link at the bottom of the Skills section, or you can navigate to Portfolio Slideshows tab.
Step 8 – For a video post, paste the iFrame embed from either Youtube or Vimeo into the Video Embed Code field, found in the Portfolio tab of the Avada Page Options.
Step 9 – Select any number of other options for the portfolio post in the Portfolio tab of the Avada Page Options.
Step 10 – Once you are finished, click Publish to save the post.
There is enormous flexibility in how you design, configure and layout your individual portfolio items. In the next document, we look at the Portfolio Single Post interface in detail and the various ways you can create your portfolio items.
