 * Yup! It’s super easy. Under Portfolio Items you’ll see Portfolio Types. Think
   of each type as a category. So enter all of your types, then when making a new
   portfolio item make sure to add it’s type (on the right hand side you’ll see 
   the option). Once you’ve done that the types will show up on your Portfolio page.

 * Happy to help 🙂
 * Make sure to delete the page from your trash folder by going to Pages -> Trash-
   > Selecting Portfolio and under bulk actions deleting it.
 * Next go to Permalinks on your blog by going to Settings -> Permalinks. They should
   be set to Post Name. Save changes (even if already set to Post Name) so your 
   permalinks can update and the plugin can take the Portfolio URL.
 * Here is an example of it being used:

 * And another example of how you can customize it to suit your needs:

 * Hey! This plugin is super easy to use, but can frustrating at times so let me
   try to help get you started!
 * First install and activate the plugin. Once that’s done, you’ll see a new option
   appear on your admin dashboard menu called “Portfolio Items.” What this basically
   is, is a new post type for your website. Go into that menu link and you’ll see
   the option to Add New portfolio items from there. It works exactly like adding
   a new post using the classic editor.
 * These new posts will be added to a new page on your website (that you do not 
   have to create manually) called Portfolio. Now this page won’t show up in your
   pages list in the dashboard, but it’s there! So once you have it installed and
   a portfolio item added, go to yoururl.com/portfolio
 * You should see the newly added items.
 * A common issue people are having is getting a 404 error once the portfolio plugin
   is added. This can caused for a few reasons. If you have a page entitled portfolio
   on your website before installing this plugin, please delete it and empty it 
   from the trash because it will conflict with this plugin. Another thing is to
   save your permalinks twice once this plugin is installed if you are experiencing
   the 404 error and you don’t have a page or post entitled Portfolio on your website.
 * Hope this helps!
