    Hello,

    So far your theme is awesome. Thank you. I am new to wordpress, this is my second site. I am creating a kids site that will have images, videos, cartoons, coloring pages for a variety of different categories. For instance: Images – Cars, Images – Trucks, Images – Tractors, Images – planes, Cartoon – Cars, Cartoon – Trucks, etc…

    I will have an unspecified number of items that I want to have all displayed for a specific category (Images – Cars), (Cartoon – Cars), etc…

    Then when a user clicks on the image, I would like a popup to be displayed and I want to add a Print Button, Save Button, etc… on the popup page. Will I be able to add code to this page? Based on all my reading between the documentation and the Forum I believe it is correct and I think I should use the “Portfolio” Template and NOT the “Portfolio Gallery Type” option. Is this Correct?

    This is what I did and it isn’t displaying any images, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. There isn’t much documentation on setting up and organizing portfolios, are portfolios in general for wordpress the same and if I found documentation on setting up portfolios will it be different from how to do it with Aegaeus?

    1.) I added a new Portfolio item “Coloring Book Tractor”

  • I added 2 Categories (Coloring Book, Tractor)
  • I clicked on shortcode generator and selected “Portfolio”
  • 2.) I added new Media.

  • I then clicked on the Attach link
  • I selected “Coloring Book Tractor” The new Portfolio I just created.
  • 3. I then created a page

  • I selected Shortcode Generator and selected Portfolio
  • I selected the Portfolio Template
  • I then added “Coloring Book, Tractor” for the slug. Will the slugs join to the Categories setup with the portfolio categories above?
  • [portfolio category=”Tractor, Coloring Book” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” size=”col-4″]
  • 1. Did I do anything wrong? The new page isn’t display any images.
    2. Is it possible to add different Categories and have different pages automatically pull this information in based on Category? In other words, If I have a page Coloring Book – Tractors and another Page Coloring Book – Farm Equipment, can I have this image pulled into 2 pages?
    3. Is this theme an appropriate theme for my type of website?
    4. Will I be able to add code to the popup window from an image (I asked this question above)
    Thank you,
    Best Regards,
    Lorie
