Thanks everybody!
@Roger: Do you use WP 2.3? If yes upgrade to latest version

@sorel nope 2.5!

just tried it on a ‘live’ site not a local install and the same thing!? :(

@sorel so I got what the problem was I am using on all my sites the admin drop down menu from Ozh this for some reason gives the url above rather than adding admin.php?page= after /wp-admin/

just thought i would add this in case anyone else had the same problem later and thought its something wrong with the theme, its not ;)

now i’m ready to take the theme for a test drive :)

Amazing! I like the colors.

Ade July 1st, 2008 at 2:04 pm Permalink #

So, are the posts in no way clickable? Did you disable that for this theme?

I like the look of this a lot, but I have to think how it would work with no way to directly link to individual posts. Or am I wrong?

@jon if you add

[code] <a href=”" rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “>[code]

in between the h2 tags on line 356 of index.php then i took the single.php from sorel’s brightness theme and copied it into the portfolio theme folder then delete line 19 which is the call to the sidebar, this works but you will need to add some style. you can copy the style’s from the style.css in the brightness theme to get the class names and then paste it into index.php of the portfolio theme but it still looks a bit strange so you will need to play around!

i’m just a beginner so maybe someone has a better solution?

roger July 1st, 2008 at 3:38 pm Permalink #

the code didnt paste right into the previous comment but if you look at the code in between the h2 tags of index.php in sorel’s brightness theme line 14 this is the code to copy into the portfolio index.php line 356.

@sorel how do you put code in your comments?

roger July 1st, 2008 at 3:40 pm Permalink #

@Jon: This is the first version, is designed only for perspective. In the 1.1 version there will be an addon for single / commens page.

@Roger: I will install a plugin right now.

Sorel Mihai July 1st, 2008 at 5:43 pm Permalink #

@Sorel: Oh, OK! Because as it is right now, if someone clicks on an item in the RSS feed, it can only go back to the home page, whether or not that post is actually displayed there.

Thanks for your efforts.

@Sorel: Hey, here’s an idea that would be pretty simple for you but would add useability to the Theme Customization Setting admin page.

Why not put the default settings in text beside each of the boxes? That way, users know what they get if they don’t fill in the boxes. Plus, it’d make it easier to discern what box changes what things on your page.

Even better would be a small swatch of color after the hex code, but that would require a bit more on your part.

Thanks!
Jon

Hi, I just wanted to let you know I’ve added the Portfolio theme to my list of the best WordPress themes available, which you can find at http://www.bestwpthemes.com. Congratulations!

I should add that I think there are elements of the theme that need improving. But still… great work!

hi Sorel, The layout is not good for other browser. I try to use Mozzilla. The header is not same if I use Internet explorer.

Any Advice?

@Jon: The next version will come with a better customization page. Thanks for ideas!
@Matt: Thanks!
@Josh: I tried and it works, here..
@Dian: Have you changed something? The basic version works on both IE and Firefox here.

This theme looks perfect!

If only I could get this zip file not to self replicate in an infinite loop!

When I download the theme, I try to unzip it and then it becomes another zip file, which I unzip, which becomes another zip file (It is an infinite loop!)

Please oh please fix this. I would love to get this theme. =)

Thanks!

Hey Sorel,
Sorry to dbl-post, I just wanted to provide you information on your file. It is not an isolated issue as you may have thought when Josh posted the same problem.

If you could, please consider archiving the file also in tar.gz. Why does tar.gz rock? Simple! I can wget http://thefile.com strait from my server and extract it in two lines, opposed to downloading it, extracting it and then uploading it and then having to worry about deleting the files….

Consider this, because the .zip you have provided does not work on Mac OSX.

Thank you, your website has been of help to me on many occasions, don’t know what is up with this specific zip file…

Sean July 14th, 2008 at 3:32 am Permalink #

triple-post.

For some reason Firefox on MacOSX corrupts the file.

So, if you have MacOSX, and are experiencing troubles with downloading this file through Firefox, then switch to Safari, download again and your problem will be solved.

Sorel, sorry for flooding your comments, it was not in bad intention. Still, consider the tar.gz alternative for us efficient types. =) Thanks again!

Hi Sorel,

You do very excellent work. This portfolio theme is really nice- I’m looking forward to seeing its progression into 1.2!

Keep up the great work.

Hey great wordpress theme. Can’t wait to get it rocking. I am having some trouble displaying images. Namely, my logo. My installation is also hesitant to display even the rss image. Anyone else having this issue? I’m a noob, am I missing something simple? Thanks!

Great theme !

I would like to know how I can publish more than one image on a post.

Thank you very much

This theme is really nice and I’m looking forward to the version with clickable posts.

Please contact me Sorel when you can, thanks!

Thank you so much for this wonderfully clean theme! I love how easy it is to change the colors and such! I just have one question…is there a way to display more items/entries on the page? I think I have 5 on there now so my 6th must have dropped off. If there isn’t a way to display more items on the page, how can I provide a “next page” type of link for people to click on?

very nice theme for a free one..

thanks.

I can’t figure what I’m doing wrong. My work won’t show up in the image field.

nerdski July 22nd, 2008 at 12:23 pm Permalink #

I don’t think this theme should be as difficult to build as it is. I can’t get images to work, more, I can’t figure out if this is stripping images out of the post, or custom field as its not documented anywhere? I also can’t figure out what is getting displayed on the actual post. Its not content within the post, so maybe a custom field?

Please let me know if there is a tutorial on this theme somewhere.

This theme is great, and great that its free, but F*U*K ATLEAST give some sort of FAQ to show how to post up articles and pice. Ive used many wp themes in the past and this one is quite a pain, esp with no instructions.

BILAL July 26th, 2008 at 4:22 am Permalink #

I love this theme and had such high opes. But unortunately it is so incredibly diificult to do anything. Blank fill ins to change colors, confusing to be able post an image. It assumed you know much more about coding/hacking. IT NEED A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF INSTRUCTIONS or set up for an average user that is much more user friendly.

Moe July 26th, 2008 at 11:52 am Permalink #

Great theme, but like the last couple posts, I have no idea how to get the portfolio images working. I don’t understand how each portfolio post is a different category? I have no idea how to get the portfolio images working, or how it displays the “client” “work” and “link”? It seems these are some sort of php variable?

This theme works with WP 2.6?

Brightness theme work fine, but this portfolio theme didn´t!.

Theme won’t allow me to unpack the zip. Tried like 100 times.

@ Gatella.

Did you resolve the WordPress 2.6 issue with this theme..? We’re having the same incompatibility issue.

dawnprofies August 6th, 2008 at 6:43 pm Permalink #

I bought domain to create portfolio for myself but i don’t know how to setup this one. I mean i can’t add images, don’t know howto create about page. My WP version is 2.6.

Please update this wp theme to make this work or give us some tips.

The image field and image details are probably using custom fields. You just have to figure out what the custom field keys are. But I definitely agree that if you intend to release a theme for public consumption, even if you’re not going to set up a support forum, the minimum requirement is some documentation.

AndrewE August 9th, 2008 at 8:56 am Permalink #

I was able to get mine situated for what I wanted it to do. There is just some tweaking of the code needed. Im not sure how you are “supposed” to post in this theme so I just created some custom fields to do what I wanted. I enjoy it….especially since its free :)

How do you even upload pictures to this to get them to show up like in the example? Same with the text. How does all of that even work. There’s no tutorial for it.

Fred August 14th, 2008 at 2:48 pm Permalink #

@Fred= I dont know the “proper” way of doing either images or descriptions so I just created my own way.

For the details I made it pull the Excerpt for that post and created a custom field to except the images.

WPJunkie August 14th, 2008 at 5:38 pm Permalink #

What about the images?

Fred August 15th, 2008 at 9:12 am Permalink #
57

Ohhh, I see what you did. Could you show me the code that you used for it?

Fred August 15th, 2008 at 9:13 am Permalink #

Im not sure the designer would like it too much but if you use the contact form on my site I’ll be more then happy to send you the code :)

Oh sorry about that Fred, I had my form pointing to the wrong e-mail lol I sent you my index.php with my changes. Let me know if you need a screencast as it will only take a few minutes.
