Using the Twenty Seventeen Video header and displaying portfolio entries

    I really like the photography portfolio plugin! The main thing I would like it to be able to do however, that is not currently a stock option, is display the Twenty Seventeen video header AND display the portfolio entries as the home page. Currently, if the portfolio entries are set to display as the static homepage it overrides the video header and only uses the static image page header. Update on this code would be immensely appreciated! Would be willing to kick in some cash to push it along! Please let me know 🙂

    Hi Justin,
    I can’t make the plugin support every theme out of the box. It should actually go the other way around – themes should support plugins.

    Anyway – I looked into this a bit more, and as it turns out this happens because WordPress doesn’t detect “Easy Photography Portfolio” page as the homepage. It’s a bug in WordPress with a long history.

    Long story short – after I replied to you on Facebook, I decided to see what’s the deal with WP headers, – turns out they’re not that complicated. You can make a child theme (if you don’t know how – there are plugins that can do that for you), and then just use the blog post I just made to enable video headers in all portfolio pages: https://justnorris.com/custom-page-header-video/

    If you’re willing to throw money at the problem – buy my Horizon Portfolio – it’s built with Easy Photography Portfolio, and it has video support in the welcome slider (you can preview how the welcome screen works in my Luka Portfolio theme)

    Good luck with your site!
