      Hi,

      This is a nice looking theme but I am having a lot of trouble setting it up.

      I tried to create a portfolio page but for some reason I can’t replicate the demo page. I am using the portfolio template but nevertheless my portfolio items won’t line up in a grid formation. I downloaded the dummy code and there I was able to use your “portfolios” page. However I am still unsure how I would setup my own portfolio page to work properly?

      Also I was wondering how I could add descriptions under each featured image for every portfolio item. I would like the viewer to see the featured image but also a description underneath the image. How could I do this?

      Finally, when I click on my blog posts I am routed to the main blog page rather than the page for that individual post. The same occurs when I click “read more” of an individual post.

      You can find my site at “www.bezreyhan.com”

      Thank you!

      Hi

      For the portfolio page setup, I see this page http://www.bezreyhan.com/portfolio is the blog category, not portfolio page, the correct way is:

      1. Create a page and select “Portfolios” template in the right side of the screen when you add/edit the page.
      2. Go to “Portfolios > Add New”, add new portfolios and don’t forget to set the featured image for each portfolio post.

      Then the portfolio thumbnail will show up on that page.

      When you move the mouse over on the portfolio thumbnail, the title and excerpt will show up, I think it’s not neccessary to place them underneath the thumbnail… if you really want to do that , you have to change the php files, but it’s the customization issue that is not included in our support.

      For your last question, I feel so strange about it, have you changed the source code or changed the permalink rules in “setting > permalink”? It seems the setup is extreme incorrectly.

      Also, if you still can’t setup it, please let me know your wordpress login information with private reply.

      Thanks

      Thanks for the quick response. You answered all my questions.

      The permalinks were indeed the problem.

      Thanks,
