AGB Web Designs Student Project Portfolio

Description

Student Project Portfolio helps students turn coursework, capstones, research, and personal projects into a professional portfolio without manually designing every project entry.

Features include:
* Unlimited project entries.

* Profile information for name, headline, introduction, contact details, LinkedIn, GitHub, resume, location, and profile photo.

* Per-project field visibility toggles so individual projects can omit fields without deleting their values.
* Project Categories for organizing projects by discipline or type.
* Frontend project search that matches project titles and Technologies Used, plus category filtering.
* Complete Portfolio mode that automatically creates a portfolio page.
* Projects Only mode for use with Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder, or another page-building workflow.
* Student Project Grid Gutenberg block.
* [agbsp_student_projects] shortcode.
* [agbsp_student_portfolio] shortcode.
* Responsive project cards and a polished default portfolio style.
* Schema.org JSON-LD for the student profile and published projects.
* Semantic Person and CreativeWork markup in Complete Portfolio output.
* Public machine-readable portfolio REST endpoint, with email/phone exposure opt-in and off by default.
* Career Metadata for target roles, skills, institution, degree/program, graduation, and availability.
* Optional public career-profile REST feed for future recruiter/search integrations.

Projects -> Settings -> General includes controls for portfolio mode, project-grid columns, Course visibility, and Technologies visibility. Projects -> Settings -> Career Metadata stores structured career information and controls the optional public career feed. Projects -> Settings -> About shows plugin version, AGB Web Designs branding, developer credit, update guidance, and core plugin details.

An optional Student Project Portfolio Pro add-on adds custom fields, field reordering, and advanced visual customization while this plugin remains fully functional on its own.
