    Hi all:
    I would like to add a second portfolio page to my site (using Modern Portfolio theme). I was going to follow the tutorial here: http://wpsites.net/web-design/second-portfolio-page-genesis/ but my site doesn't have an archive-portfolio.php file for me to copy. Can someone help me figure out how to do this? Page is at http://www.angie-webb.com Thanks in advance!

    Grab the code from the Executive Pro theme and use it to create a portfolio custom post type as its the best code.

    I've completed both the tutorial you mentioned above as well as the this one: How to Add a Second Portfolio Page. Now I'm thinking maybe I should have just used this method for my first portfolio page instead of using the theme's built-in Featured Post widget area as a portfolio and then forcing it to be on its own page, it seems like it's causing some difficulties and maybe wasn't the best route to take in the first place.

    If I wanted to go about it this way, do I need to go through the steps again to install an additional portfolio page? Or can I just use the Portfolio I've created using your tutorial and create multiple types of portfolios in order to make this work. Also, how do I get the Portfolios to appear on a page? Right now if I use the slug to type in the URL of my portfolio into my browser, it's not working.

    I'm sorry if I'm being confusing. This whole process of creating the site has been much more complicated than I ever imagined, but I do greatly appreciate your help.

    You need to create separate CPT's.

    Or you could simply use categories and display them in a grid style using one of many different methods.

    Ok thanks. I tried following the steps of adding a portfolio a second time, renaming everything "third" instead of second so that I could have another portfolio page, but it seems to have just replaced my second portfolio. Any idea what's up?

    I've decided to just remove everything I've done up until this point for the portfolio and install the Genesis Grid Loop Plugin to handle my portfolio needs. Seems to be working so far!
