 * Hello,
    I was trying to have a specific portfolio type on my front-page but somehow
   I can’t get the attributes to work. This is my shortcode: [portfolio include_type:
   jazz columns:3 display_content:false] With this in my shortcode-block I can see
   all portfolio types in two columns with content. I’m using a self-made child 
   theme for illustratr. Is this maybe the reason? Best Jan

   to see the link]_

 * Hi Jan,
 * That shortcode works on my test site. Can you please use the default theme and
   see if that’s the issue?
