    Kimbert – could you explain what you’re trying to do and provide a link to your site?

    Hello Kathryn,

    Here is our website http://www.galerieimbert.com

    I would like to add a social media button
    on the mainpage and a smaller one on the
    gallery pages so that people can share under each
    picture

    thank you

    The webpage http://www.addthis.com provide you the code to insert the sharing-button bar. You must to insert it in the header.php of your wordpress theme. Admin -> Themes -> Editor. You can find another or better sharing-button bars plugins for wordpress in the plugins section! 😉

    Kimbert – if you go the Addthis route, just keep in mind that you should avoid editing the header.php file directly, as you’ll lose that change every time you update the theme to the latest version. Here are some guides to creating a child theme instead, in case you haven’t made one before:

    Other options for sharing buttons include the Jetpack sharing module or for the homepage, adding buttons to your social media channels via a text widget (step 2) or plugin.

    Hello Kathryn

    thank you, the floating social media tags are great and the developpers are helpful.

    I am still discovering this theme and was wondering about the differences between an article, a portfolio and a page?
    Where can I read up on this,

    thank you,

    This is a good explanation of the difference between posts and pages: https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    It’s from WordPress.com but also applies to any WordPress site.

    Portfolio projects are different from posts and pages, and usually meant for displaying visual work like photos, drawings, graphic design, etc. You can activate portfolio support with the Jetpack plugin’s Custom Content Types module and use them with any theme.

    If you have other general WordPress questions, the best place to ask is in the How to/Troubleshooting forum here:

    I’m going to close this thread because the original issue is long since resolved. If you need further help with Pictorico specifically, feel free to start a new thread here:
