What it does
Many WordPress sites squeeze portfolio work into regular posts or a basic gallery, which makes projects hard to organize and browse. This plugin gives portfolio items their own custom post type with categories, tags and detailed descriptions. Category and tag archive pages are created automatically, so visitors can filter and browse your work by type or subject.
For layouts, you can start from more than 35 portfolio list templates and over 5 item templates, or build your own in the drag and drop Template Builder. Each item can hold images, videos, audio, galleries or embedded content, with lightbox overlays, tabs, related item sliders, social share buttons and navigation controls. Styling options cover backgrounds, borders, hovers, pagination and icons, and layouts are responsive across screen sizes.
Best for
- Photographers and artists presenting their work online
- Designers and freelancers building client-facing portfolio sites
- Creative agencies displaying projects by category

Questions about Portfolio Manager
Do I need coding skills to customize the portfolio layouts?

What kinds of media can I add to a portfolio item?
Each portfolio item supports five media types: images, videos, audio, galleries and embedded content. Media can be shown in a lightbox overlay, which lets visitors view your work in a larger, focused display.
Can visitors filter my portfolio by category?
Yes. Portfolio items use their own categories and tags, and the plugin automatically creates category and tag archive pages. Visitors can use these pages to browse only the type of work they are interested in.
Will the portfolio work on phones and tablets?
