Very smart - I love the portfolio of your site. Does is come built in ? I cannot for the life of me get my head around how to setup a portfolio for my site

[dmcleod87]

no i attempted to create a portfolio using this tutorial but had some issues with getting it to display right with this child theme. in the end i went with this plugin which works great! hope this helps!

Love your website... curious... how did you do those icons at the bottom of your home page. Example, "Logo Design & Branding"... is this a plugin or???

Thanks!!

Hi Dylan,

Great looking site, I love your style! Just one nit pick, in ipad landscape the "view services" button is too high up hugging the h tag, it should be aligned with the paragraph.

Nice, the layout is actually very similar to my site. Just everything else is different.

Love your site! Very clean & beautiful. I'm also curious about your icons - how did you get them to change color on the rollover? I thinking of adding some images to my site and having the images change on a roll over, but haven't gotten that far yet.

I love your portfolio part of the page. Might want to replicate that for my own page.

[dmcleod87]

thanks for the kind words everyone!

the icons are custom made SVG icons which change colour on hover via css.

Hey

I bought the same plug-in and testing it out. However I do have some questions.

1. How did you get the landscape view on the pictures. Mine are square and I "hate" it.

2. The can't find a way to have the overlay just move the picture. They always push it away. Did you do something special there or am I just missing a setting?

Hum, I manged both of the tings I asked for. But I can't delete the post, or edit it... sorry for spamming the thread.

[dmcleod87]

hi @Dag-Erling it might be best if you consult the documentation that came with the plugin.

Hi Dylan, I'm having the same darn issues with Sridhar's filterable portfolio tutorial and the Minimum Pro theme. I followed his instructions to the letter several times but I still could't get it to work. It's extremely frustrating when so many people were able to make it work, but I couldn't.

Did you ever make any headway with his approach?

[dmcleod87]

hi RavenManiac no unfortuantely i didn't. earlier in this thread there is a link to the plugin i ended up going with to setup my portfolio. try that instead...worked perfect for me and have used it on other clients sites.

[RavenManiac]

Thanks Dylan. I ended up going your route and purchased Go Portfolio. The only problem is I don't know how to hook it into the Minimum Pro theme. Can you give me a little guidance? Thanks.
