Hi, you can take a look at the Portfolio Shortcode Support Page, which has a number of Attributes you can use with the Shortcode to control things, including number of columns.
The Shortcode is designed to be used with normal pages and posts, and on themes that do not have support for the full Portfolio feature. Because of that, the shortcode was designed conservatively so that it would work with normal pages. With a theme that fully supports the Portfolio feature, there is a specifically designed page template, which is specifically designed for Portfolios and their display.
I took a look at your site, but it is coming up as in Maintenance/under construction, so I can’t look at your portfolio page. Shortcode pages can be restyled using CSS, but CSS cannot be used to change functionality, and all the bulk of the Portfolio code is in the Jetpack Plugin, so it is not easily changed, and any changes you would make to it would then be overwritten the first time it was updated.
If you would like some guidance and help with restyling the Shortcode page, once you have your site back up, post back here and we would be happy to get you going on that.

Hi,
go to http://www.camillagatti.com/wp-admin and login with user test and password test, then you can show website.
Portfolio is on http://www.camillagatti.com/portfolio/ using portfolio template.
I need to add antoher column keeping this style, margin etc..
So I can’t use shortcode because it’s uses standard page template..
An example to http://francescacefis.com/editorials
Here http://www.camillagatti.com/test-port/ I used shortcode, I set 4 columns but margin and dimensions are too small..
let me know
thanks

Hi @stefacchio, I’ve pinged one of our developers who knows a lot about Portfolios to see if he has any ideas on how to do this. I can widen that content area on the Shortcode page, but the images positions are calculated by Jetpack and then positioned directly in the HTML. Hopefully I will get to discuss this with him shortly. I have a couple ideas, but I’d like to touch base with him first.

Hi, Illustratr has only the default page template, but it looks like you have created a child theme, so you can certainly add another page template and assign it to your page(s) using the shortcode.
Take a look at the Codex document on page templates for more information on doing that.
