How to set up Portfolio in CloudPress Pro

A portfolio shows all your projects. It’s an excellent way to show your works to clients and prospects. CloudPress Pro provides a filterable project feature. This means that you can categorize the projects and allow the users to filter projects according to the categories. You can also choose the layout that best fits your theme and also can set the layout out of three to show projects i.e. Portfolios in 2 columns, 3 columns, and 4 columns.

To create a portfolio, follow the below steps:

1. Create a Project Category (if you want to take advantage of the filtering features)

For the categorized portfolio, you need to start by creating the project categories. Each category will be displayed as the filtering tabs and allow the viewers to see the projects based on their categories.

So to create the Project Category, Go to the Projects tab and click on Project categories. Here you can add categories like graphics, photography, fashion, web design, and so on. Just enter the name of your choice for the category and click on Add New Category button.
