   You've been so helpful! I'm really getting the hang of this.

   I've added many portfolio items. I have a page where they show in a grid. I have two questions.

   First, when I list the categories separately, everything shows up. So I use the following:
   [portfolio_grid column="3" showposts="12" cat="strategy" disable="date,visit"]
   [portfolio_grid column="3" showposts="12" cat="branding" disable="date,visit"]
   [portfolio_grid column="3" showposts="12" cat="publicity" disable="date,visit"]
   [portfolio_grid column="3" showposts="12" cat="sales" disable="date,visit"]

   When I list them in one shortcode, nothing shows and the site says it can't find the category:
   [portfolio_grid cat="branding, publicity, sales"] which brings up: No portfolio posts were found for the category selected.

   Second: I do want to list my categories with fancy buttons so readers can choose the category they wish to see. I don't know how to show the categories. Using the first set of shortcodes, each category is on a different row (which is fine) but you can't tell which is which and there is no way to choose from a list.

   Many thanks!

   Hello randialterman,

   Try the fix in the bottom of this thread, http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/portfolio-problems-1, it will let you use multiple categories in the shortcode.

   I'm sorry. I don't know how to do that. I downloaded the php file and extracted it. I can go into my theme. but I don't know how to upload into
   /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/

   You'll need to use an FTP program such as Filezilla, http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using, to login to your server and upload the file.

   A lot of times hosting providers will have some kind of file uploader which you can use inside your web browser so try contacting them also.

   I have an FTP. Now that I figured it out, the theme is so easy to use I was looking for some sort of upload button like I use for images! Thanks. I'll upload it.

   I appreciate all your help. You've been incredibly responsive. I would definitely recommend these themes to others simply based on the wonderful support you've provided.

   Best,
   Randi
