Custom Content Portfolio is a portfolio management plugin for creative people such as artists, photographers, and Web designers to showcase their work. Just like what bbPress is doing for forums and BuddyPress is doing for social networks, Custom Content Portfolio is doing for portfolios.
This plugin was created because of the rising need from users who are downloading WordPress themes with portfolio management built in (not a good idea for content portability). I wanted users to be able to switch themes without losing their content. This will also allow any theme developer to build a theme on top of this plugin.

Custom Content Portfolio

1) I cannot make more project (then, what is the utility of "Project Slug" in url? - i've removed!);
2) In details i've: "Client", and no way to change in other (author, or any other possible text).
3) Format post type contain only: "Standard, Immagine, Video, Galleria, Audio" - something missed here (eg: "Quotes").
fixed with:
[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]
.project-client {
    visibility: hidden;
}
.project-client > .project-data {
    visibility: visible;
    float: right;
}
.project-client > .project-data::before {
    content: "Author: ";
}
4) article (content) slug cannot be edited (so sad!).
then, just need some fix, but can be a great plugin ;)



Good start point but...

That plugin is great for developers, like a little boilerplate. I wished there is more documentation how to customize the portfolio pages.
The easiest way to build customized portfolio pages was coding several files like archive-portfolio_project.php for portfolio overviews, taxonomy-portfolio_category.php for category lists and single-portfolio_project.php for the portfolio items. With no documentation it needed time to figure out the correct names. But that was worth the effort.



Great plugin to start creating custom portfolio pages

A complete portfolio solution for creative people.
