Hola Victor!
Muy muy linda la tema. Yo he buscado mucho y creo que es el mejor wp portfolio tema en el red.
Me costaba un poco de tiempo para entender que pasa con las paginas, pero ahora todo bien.
Lo unico que no puedo entender es que -- (now i will switch to English :) --- i saw that on your demo site and on other sites it does not resize the photos. To me it RESIZES THE PHOTOS in all sections except in "Case study"
Can you (or anyone else) please help me with that?
Muchos gracias / Thanks!

And for beginners -- what you need to do
1) find out page ID from all pages:
--- work
--- featured
--- about
--- contact
--- any other page that you add
(it is in a tutorial how you find that out, but usually works with clicking the "View" in WP administration panel and seeing the number in your address line)
2) change default number in following documents with the "your" numbers
--- index.php
--- header.php
--- footer.php
--- portfolio-custom-write-panel.php
--- portfolio-panel.php
I think that's all.
--- Save the files and upload them again.
I think it should work.
This theme takes a bit of patience but it's worth it :)

Hey, I have managed to get the contact form to work...after some little work, but here is how I managed:
1/ follow the instruction in the wpesp tutorial about cutting and pasting the text in cforms.php
2/Go to the cforms "Form Settings" Page. On this page, go to the part after where you can enter the form fields. There is a line saying:
Backup this form or restore previously saved settings:
You need to click on browse and go to your wpesp-portfolio folder...there is a file there called form-settings. Load it, and your form will now have the same settings as on the wpesp demo site.
3/ Go to the cforms "Styling" menu, and deactivate the css.
4/ Go to your contact page and change the permalink to "contact-us"
5/ Insert the "Contact Us" contact form in the contact page
You are ready to go! My pleasure :-)

Hola Victor.
¿Why not to avoid using category IDs in the functions?
Lots of people are having problems with names/ID correspondences and maybe it would be possible to use name references.
Congratulations for your amazing work!

Beginner alert. I'm having trouble with . . . many things. Mainly with the About page. Wolfden's post about changing ID numbers in index.php, header.php and footer.php has semi-worked for me in so much as the ABOUT link in the header now actually sends me to the default About page supplied when you first install Wordpress.
But the page has no styling. And I have no idea how to make it look like Victor's About page in the WPESP demo.
I don't know any php and have really limited knowledge of html and CSS. I'm feeling like I have bitten off more than I could chew with WPESP. Can anyone help?

Ola Victor,
Tnx soo much for this friendly and great work.
Very much appreciated, just love the simplicity.
It took me also a bit to find out and but can imagine you cant just write a whole book on how2 install and configure, and try to capture all the read between the lines and interpretations for everyone.
So thanx for this forum and all its posts to sort thinks out.
I tried all options to get the About and Contact working described in this forum and finally got it.
What I did wrong was, I didnt leave the Contact and About page on the Default template. (I changed it myself to About/Contact template and then the headers were empty in the preview aka no style)
Plus the links didnt work.. obviously.
So my steps in order to get it going was:
1.Follow all code swaps n things from WPESP site. YAY
2. Create also a Contact page in pages and leave the template on default, 'About' was already there.
Hover over preview or click to see the page ID. Then in footer,header and index change the ('about') to your ID number (2) and change the /about.php in the same line to /?page_id=2 (as 2 was my id for about).
I did only the first 'about' in index.php and left the TEMPLATEPATH . '/about.php' untouched.
Do the same obviously for all Contact ID's.
3. Create the Contact page according to 'revolutionfrance' post.
Hope this helps
/me now on to styling - Happy camper!
PS. Little tweaks I did also.
Embedded category view in portfolio_panel.php under title, in info section, and under sidebar in work.php
<?php the_category(',') ?> wrapped in <h4>
Then added home link under next and previous links win work.php
<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">HOME</a></li>
If you like.

I am installing this theme for my portfolio and love it! there is one thing I am trying to do and can’t figure it out.
I want to limit the number of posts on the home page (got that part) and then when you click on the work page you would see the rest of my portfolio. For example, I have the top 6 or 9 pieces of my portfolio and then when you click on the work page you can see the remainder of my work. It keeps the home page looking clean. Is it a matter of tagging entries differently? How can I set this up and direct that header link to a different page than the home page?
thanks to anyone with advice

Hello all. First off, I'd like to start by saying what a great looking template this is. I, like everyone else on the forum can't get the contact page to work. Could someone please explain from the very first step, what has to be done. it seems like a lot of posts have different explanations and are based on previous posts?

question about posting images.
The thumbnails (small and large) both need to be sized before uploading or does it take care of the croping and im just doing something wrong. write now my images look like they are squished. its just resizing not cropping them.
and for the detail page, where do i post that image.. in the post itself? or is the a link field like there is for the panels. cause right now i can only get the large image to show if i put in the actual post itself.

I am new to wordpress, but have managed to get the theme up and running with a great deal of help from this thread. However, I have yet to figure out how to limit the number of posts that show up on the main page... Basically what I want is for the main page to display the featured article, and then three thumbnails underneath. When you click on the work page, I want it to be a page displaying all my works, in the same thumbnail fashion as at the bottom of the main page. I do not need the featured article slider on the work page. Can anyone help me?

Fantastic theme, almost got it fully working.
For my hCard settings it says: No Options for this Page
Any ideas why this may be?

Do I need to make a new post called hCard?
Would that get my options up in the hCard Post Settings?

Hello.
I was wondering of there are anyone out there who has some time to spare and good php skills?
I am trying to customize a WPESP theme for wordpress for my portfolio site. I did not have any understanding of php or css prior to me trying on a difficult theme... I have some html skills and together with some logical thinking, try and error and some help from Victor, the author, I have managed to learn and change many things. I can change the look of it myself, but the technical part is difficult.
Now I feel stuck and looking for some help from anyone of you guys - if there are someone who wants a challenge ;) At least I feel that it is a challenge...
Our site atm: www.aichandmokie.com/wp
My challenge:
Under the button Blogg I want to have a new blog with a sidebar that has Categories, Search and so on. I have managed to make it work by creating a category 'blogg' and link everything under the button to that one. But the customisation to get a regular blog layout working is difficult for me.
Anyone willing to help?

Different problem.
I have installed the Lightbox 2 plugin, and it seems to override the Coda Slider effect. Is there something I can do to prevent this or is it just not possible to combine coda slider and lightbox?

Hola Victor!! Muy buen Theme!!

Anyone have any insight on to how to just create a new page for this theme? I cannot figure it out for the life of me!!! Thank you!!!!

@AichandMokie - I am available for hire if you are interested. Email addy is corgan1003 : gmail : com
@victor - great looking plugin but it causes my "add new post" form not to load. maybe it is a WP 2.8 issue. i think it would also make more sense if the portfolio feature was a plugin

Hi Victor! Beautiful theme, I am trying it out now. I have not had the problem others have had with the about us or the contact page.
My problem is none of the thumbnails are appearing. Do you have any suggestions? The paths are correct and if I manually type in the page that should be associated with the portfolio site...example say my featured portfolio is "foo". When I go to work/foo the text information is there but the image is not showing on the homepage or the work/foo page.
Any suggestions?

Answered my own question 15 minutes later of course. When you use slugs, it changes things! Have to take that into account!

Hcard problems and Contact form appears twice
Similar to user DGiscombe, I cannot get the hcard part of the template to work. There is no place for me to enter any information. When I am inside a page template, I get the text "No Options for this Page" under hcard post settings.
My contact form is shown twice: At the top of the page, unstyled, and again in the correct grey area with all the styling. I cannot, for the life of me make the unstyled disappear.
Eternally grateful to any who can help.
Anders,
Denmark

This theme looks great, and thank you to Victor for taking the time to build and share it. However, for whatever reason, this theme is extremely difficult to install and get working properly on the current version of WP (2.8.2). I have a fair amount of experience installing and customizing themes but this one frankly doesn't seem worth it. If I'm going to spend hours tweaking a theme to get it up and running I'd rather build my own where I can take full credit.
The documentation is exceedingly poor (what is repeatedly referred to as a "tutorial" is nothing of the sort) and though some of the posts in this forum contain partial solutions to specific problems, many of those don't work right either. Unless you have a lot of patience and very good WP skills, I would recommend looking elsewhere for a portfolio solution. I'm not posting this to be mean, but rather to save others from wasting a lot of time with this as I just have.

Hi Sonnet18,
Sorry, I forgot to post that I fixed it by following the instructions properly. I had to change the ID of about and contact pages in Portfolio_Custom-Write-Panel.php.
Can be found around 164.

Like several other users, I am trying to limit the number of posts on the home page. I have narrowed it down to this code in home.php:
<div id="works">
<div class="minus14">
<?php // Featurd Work goes first
$the_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&showposts=1');
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
// We show just one post of category work and don't duplicate it after | http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops_in_Action
?>
<div class="thumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="View Case Study - <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php $src_thumb_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, "src_thumb_value", true); echo $src_thumb_value; ?>" width="276" height="115" alt="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" title="Thumb of <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" /></a>
</div><!-- .thumb -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php // Rest of works
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts);
// http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops_in_Action
?>
<div class="thumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="View Case Study - <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php $src_thumb_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, "src_thumb_value", true); echo $src_thumb_value; ?>" width="276" height="115" alt="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" title="Thumb of <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" /></a>
</div><!-- .thumb -->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div><!-- .minus14 -->
</div><!-- #work -->However, I do not have enough PHP experience to know what to edit to keep thumbnails from repeating after one row.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Has anybody worked out to do the multiple page/category thing yet?
If home.php is automatically the front page, does that mean it should be changed to a different name to fall in line with other category pages such as 'category-work.php' and 'category-illustration.php' for example?

This is why I love Wordpress, makes my life a whole lot easier. Thanks for this Victor. Muchos appreciated.

Thank you, Victor, I love your theme!
I wrote a tutorial for myself (in case I ever need to install this again) and I'd like to share it, B U T ::
I have the same problem sixsixmedia mentioned 2 weeks ago...when I make a post, I see white rectangles where the images should be. I've checked and rechecked the path, (though that shouldn't be necessary because I copy and paste the url from FireFTP) ... so that path doesn't appear to be the problem.
Then sixsixmedia says:
Answered my own question 15 minutes later of course. When you use slugs, it changes things! Have to take that into account!
and, um, I don't get it.
Can you or anybody help?
Thanks y muchas gracias, Victor!!!!

Solved...but...
Solved
I was trying to link straight to the image instead of thru the WP media library from the post.
But
The two image boxes on the "WORK" page have different proportions (x:y) which stretches one or scrunches the other. I'm going to try to work with 2 distinct images for each post...unless somebody knows if I'm doing something wrong to cause this behavior. (I notice that the images on Victor's site look fine...)
Also, I had to undo something that Victor's "tutorial" suggested: to
change the featured catagory ID in the portfolio_panel.php file to match my own. when I did that, the large image on the "WORK" page shifted to the left.
When I get this right I'm going to post a tutorial on blogger...
Thanks again, Victor!

Hey everyone...I've just implemented this theme and broken it down / modified / added some things to it. Check it out.
I got the contact page working, I've had some success with the side panels showing correct, and I've added a "portfolio" page that lists them all in one page.
