   is the following possible?

   I want to make a portfolio category and show it on a page..., but I want to add a title to each image and make the image link to a page or perhaps this might be done by using news category and using a featured image for each post?

   What I want to have in the end is a page where new projects are published automatically with a thumb an title to the full project page..., and I would like to have it in 4 columns on the page.

   Hope I make any sense ....

   Hello roderickvs,

   Your wanting to add a title to your portfolio images correct? When you set the featured image when editing the post you can add the title and alt text there.

   Just make sure your using the latest version of our themes.

   actually what I want is a portfolio based on a portfolio-category with a title above eacht image and each image linking to a page. This way I can nicely place new project at the start of a page.

   If I do it by using posts I have no idea how to make them show in colums / or a grid

   something like on the old site http://www.antonissen.nl/wonen but based on a category so new items will automatically show first on the page

   Hi Elliott,

   thanks for your help in this, the standard portfolio-options are not exactly what I'm looking for.

   I want to create a portfolio and show it with the option that the thumbnail will link to a page in the website and not to a larger image or a video.

   For example: http://www.antonissen.nl/wordpress/zakelijk/ I would love to be able to link the thumb / image to the same link as the visti site text link (and maybe even disable the visit site if the link is in the thumb) I know how to disable the visit site by the way

   This way I can easily create a project overview, wothout having to add every project manually in this overview

   Is this possible? And if not where can I translate the "visit site" text link?

   You can set the image to link to your portfolio post or disable it from opening up in lightbox.

   To change the visit site text open up /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/15-portfolio.php on lines 328 and 675.

   thanks for the line of code changed it ($visit_site = '' . __( 'Bekijk Project', MYSITE_TEXTDOMAIN ) . '';
   ) but it doesn't do a thing

   concerning the image I don't get it, maybe it's just not possible, but I want the image notto pop up in a lightbox, neither do I want it to go to the post because then it would go to http://www.antonissen.nl/wordpress/portfolio/avans-zakelijk-project/gallery/zakelijk/

   but I want it to go to http://www.example.com or in this case http://www.antonissen.nl/wordpress/avans

    http://www.antonissen.nl/wordpress/zakelijk/ for the portfolio-page I'm trying to create

    I have no problem in creating 'normal' portfolio pages with categories, just with this one thing I'm trying to do on the /zakelijk page as mentioned above

    Did you translate the theme texts using our .pot file? You'll need to recreate your .mo file after editing.

    Not sure what else we can do here. That's the only areas where the "Visit Site" text is displayed. Do you have a caching plugin enabled?
