    I’m getting frustrated. The theme works fine for blog posts, but I’m trying to create a page of books I’ve written. I want to either use a gallery or portfolio, with book cover graphics that are clickable, and that open pages on my blog about each book. If I use the gallery, then the images aren’t clickable to another page; if I use the portfolio, images don’t display, only captions. What am I doing wrong?

    Here’s the page I want to use; I’ve set up galleries for now:

    The text is there for new, because I can’t get the images to link to their pages.

    Hi kirkmc,

    Portfolio items use the Featured Image for each portfolio item to display the image in the portfolio grid. So make sure you set one for each portfolio item.

    It’s hard to see where to set it up because you expect it to have a featured image field like blog posts, but actually what you need to do is add a slideshow image at the bottom where you set up the slideshow even if you are not going to use a slide show. you can choose disable slideshow (photos on top of eachother) option but still you need to add at least one slideshow image and the portfilio will use the first one as featured. took me a while to figure that one out.

    Hey,

    @Indiatravelz: Thanks for clearing things out. Yes, that is correct. :)

    Do you mean the place where it says Add Preview Images? I’ve tried, and they don’t display.

    Setting the first image in the “Add Preview Images” should not be needed either. Its the WordPress “Featured Image” function which the theme uses to represent the portfolio in the portfolio grid.

    See the image on the right in this screenshot:
