Post Attributes in Portfolio Items

Resolved yelloworange

Hi there!

I’d like to be able to use different layouts for my portfolio posts. For some reason, the portfolio post editing screen will not register the same post templates that my regular wp posts register in the ‘post attributes’ metabox (this metabox does not show up at all in the editor screen for portfolio items).

Is there an easy way to make sure custom post types show up in post attributes in portfolio posts?

Thank you

Hi.

If you mean WordPress Page Templates feature, you need to create these templates in your theme folder. Helpful resources:

Hi thank you! My issue was that after having done this (actually used both of these articles, coincidentally) the new templates were not available to me in the portfolio post editor. The thing that eventually worked was that I installed a plugin called “WP Post Template” which allowed me to make sure all custom posts (previously created ones too) would be visible in the regular blog post editor and in a portfolio item post editor. I am happy to keep using this plugin for the time being, but it would be helpful if Visual Portfolio could natively recognize different templates, too. Just not sure where to dig into the code to attempt this.

Hi.

This section should be helpful https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/#creating-page-templates-for-specific-post-types

You need to add ‘portfolio’ in ‘Template Post Type’ comment.
