## Description

Custom Content Portfolio is a portfolio management plugin for creative people such
as artists, photographers, and Web designers to showcase their work. Just like what
bbPress is doing for forums and BuddyPress is doing for social networks, Custom 
Content Portfolio is doing for portfolios.

This plugin was created because of the rising need from users who are downloading
WordPress themes with portfolio management built in (not a good idea for content
portability). I wanted users to be able to switch themes without losing their content.
This will also allow any theme developer to build a theme on top of this plugin.

### Features

 * **Projects:** Create individual projects for your portfolio.
 * **Categories:** Categorize portfolio projects.
 * **Tags:** Tag individual portfolio projects.
 * **Project Details:** Add custom project details such as a project image, URL,
   client, location, start/end dates, and a description.
 * **Custom Permalinks:** Customize your portfolio permalinks to your own liking.
 * **Sticky Projects:** Stick projects to the portfolio page.
 * **Post Formats:** If your theme supports them, projects can have the audio, gallery,
   image, or video formats.

## FAQ

  Why was this plugin created?

I hate when themes authors lock users into using the same theme forever or risk 
losing all of their content. Many theme developers continue to add portfolios to
their themes without thinking about the consequences to their users’ data. This 
plugin is a way to meet those theme authors in the middle. Let users choose their
design not based on functionality but based on the merits of the design. Leave the
functionality to plugin developers.

  How do I use it?

It works just like posts or pages. You’ll get a new menu item in the admin called“
Portfolio”. From there, you can create new projects (sort of like posts/pages).

  I’m getting 404 errors. How can I fix this?

You need to save your portfolio permalinks by visiting “Portfolio > Settings” in
the admin. There’s a section titled “Permalinks” that will allow you to set up your
portfolio rewrite rules. After saving, any 404s should disappear.

  I don’t see the “Portfolio” section.

By default, only administrators can see this menu item. If you are an administrator
and can’t see it after activating the plugin, deactivate and reactivate the plugin.
This should add the required permissions to your administrator role.

  How can I allow other users to create portfolio items on my site?

By default, the “administrator” role is the only role allowed to edit portfolio-
related things. However, you can install a role management plugin like [Members](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members)
to give more users access to portfolio.

  Why can’t edit/assign/delete categories or tags after upgrading to 2.1.0?

WordPress 4.7 introduced some new taxonomy capabilities that the plugin is now making
use of. If you just want them added to your Administrator account, you can simply
deactivate the plugin and reactivate it. The correct capabilities should be reset
and added to your role.

Otherwise, you can use a role and capability management plugin, such as [Members](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members),
to have complete control over permissions.

  Upgrading from pre-1.0.0. What’s the deal?

CCP underwent a complete rewrite from the ground up. There’s very little about the
plugin that’s even remotely close to the original version.

The biggest thing to note is that this plugin writes directly to the database to
change some post type, taxonomy, and post metadata values. I’ve tested this extensively,
but I still encourage you to **make a backup of your database** prior to upgrading
in case anything goes wrong.

The second biggest thing is that you might need to deactivate and reactivate the
plugin if you’re missing an admin items under “Portfolio”. This should correct any
issues.

The third and final item is that you’ll want to set your permalinks via “Portfolio
> Settings > Permalinks” in the admin.

  How does this compare with Jetpack portfolios?

While Jetpack can certainly be a useful plugin, its portfolio module is not even
in the same league. Jetpack offers some of the same basic stuff that you can do 
with a custom post type, but that’s where the similarities end. CCP is a complete
portfolio solution.

  Will it work with my theme?

The plugin should work fine with any theme that’s coded to WordPress standards. 
However, some features may not appear on the front end without direct integration
by your theme author.

  How do I add theme support?

If you’re a theme author, you can declare theme support with the following code 
in your theme setup function:

    ```
    add_theme_support( 'custom-content-portfolio' );
    ```

  Where can I get support?

1) I cannot make more project (then, what is the utility of “Project Slug” in url?–
i’ve removed!); 2) In details i’ve: “Client”, and no way to change in other (author,
or any other possible text). 3) Format post type contain only: “Standard, Immagine,
Video, Galleria, Audio” – something missed here (eg: “Quotes”). fixed with: [ Moderator
note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.].
project-client { visibility: hidden; } .project-client > .project-data { visibility:
visible; float: right; } .project-client > .project-data::before { content: "Author:";}
4) article (content) slug cannot be edited (so sad!). then, just need some fix, 
but can be a great plugin 😉

That plugin is great for developers, like a little boilerplate. I wished there is
more documentation how to customize the portfolio pages. The easiest way to build
customized portfolio pages was coding several files like archive-portfolio_project.
php for portfolio overviews, taxonomy-portfolio_category.php for category lists 
and single-portfolio_project.php for the portfolio items. With no documentation 
it needed time to figure out the correct names. But that was worth the effort.
