Customizing Portfolio layout with shortcode attributes

By default, the [portfolio] shortcode will display your portfolio with the following with attributes:

• Two-column layout

• Portfolio Projects listed oldest to newest (determined by date/ time added to WordPress site)

• Featured Image (if added to Project)

• Type (if selected in Project)

• Tag (if selected in Project)

• Content (excerpt of text that accompanies the Portfolio Project)

You can add attributes to the [portfolio] shortcode to customize the layout of your Portfolio Page.

To use these attributes, add and define them within the brackets of the [portfolio] shortcode. (See Portfolio Shortcode examples.)

IMPORTANT: Never include a space after a comma when working with a comma-separated list in the [portfolio] shortcode. The [portfolio] shortcode must look like this:

[portfolio include_type=iteme-one,item-two]

Note the absence of a space after the comma in the example above. If you put a space after the comma, the [portfolio] shortcode won’t work.

The following attributes can be added to your [portfolio] shortcode. These attributes are from the Porfolio Shortcode page on WordPress.com.
