It seems that you are calling the .php page directly. To use WordPress functions you have to include “wp_load.php” file exists in the WordPress root directory.

The better option is use custom page template (http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates)

Thanks!

To drop down the tabs add “marign-bottom: 20px;” in .description class, for example:

.description{color:#666; margin-top:-10px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding:0 0 10px 21px; font-size:13px; line-height:1; font-style:italic;}

As “Avisio theme” is a premium theme on themeforest.net, it is difficult to find out the solution.

It is possible for you to share the theme or setup a demo site and share the login credentials.

There is 2 ways to sort out this issuse:

1. Use “get_posts” function instead of “query_posts” (recommended one), there may be chances that $post conflict with the global $post variable. http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

2. Define ‘global $post;’ in start of the function

Hope this works!

If you are using any specific theme, please let me know which one are you usgin.

Normally widgets are defined in the function file. Try to search for the news widget. To make is duplicate copy the code and replace news with portfolio in the copied text.

Also I think you have to create a copy of “sidebar_news.php” page as “Sidebar_portfolio.php” and make edits into it.

Hope this works for you.

Thanks!
