Portfolio posts are custom post types integrated into the Inspiro theme. They allow you to create portfolio galleries with all the theme’s portfolio features.
📌 Note: If you’re using the block editor or a block editor demo template, you’ll need to install and activate the WPZOOM Portfolio plugin (free) to be able to add portfolio posts.
This tutorial covers how to create portfolio posts and set up their available options.
To create a new portfolio post, go to Portfolio → Add New in your WordPress dashboard. After this, configure the following options:
Enter a title for your portfolio post. This title will be displayed in portfolio galleries and on single portfolio post pages.
Use the post editor to add text, images, embedded videos, galleries, or other media to describe the project. This content appears in the single portfolio post view and provides additional context about your work.
Set a featured image that will serve as the portfolio thumbnail across the website. This image will also be displayed at the top of the single portfolio post page.
Just like blog posts, portfolio posts can be categorized. Categories help organize projects into different types or themes. These categories will enable filtering posts on the portfolio page or section.
In the Project Details section, you can add custom fields to highlight important information about your project, such as:
Inspiro includes special video features for portfolio posts, found in the Video Settings section under the post editor.
