The backend helps you do just that in a easy way. Uses the WordPress’s Custom Post Types for you to create Portfolio items in the WordPress intuitive way.

WordPress Portfolio FAQ
On our site we would like to use the Zoomfolio to present our courses. When a user click on an image it zoom out.
Is it possible to place a link to the image? We would like to navigate the user to the page of the course by clilcking on the image. Yes, it’s possible to not use lightbox zoom in on the featured image. Look at this picture here, it is configuration for every Portfolio Item -
You have 2 parts of the Portfolio Item, and you can link them to whatever, a lightbox image zoom in, a custom link ( that you choose ), the portfolio item link or nothing at all. You choose!
I can see that your plugin also can display all the posts on a page. How is that done. I have around 20 categories with posts in. How do I display the categories and the posts within them?
It’s simple. Just select the post_type to post in the shortcode generator ( default is dzs_portfolio, the Portfolio Items custom post ) then input the categories id you want to show. The zoomfolio will show your posts sorted by categories.
Nice plugin – I’m wondering is it possible to link the thumbnail to an existing gallery using a link. Rather than clicking on the thumbnail to get a bigger image ? Set any link inside the Big Image and set Open Big Image in Lightbox to OFF
Hi is it possible to filter the portfolio by two categories or more and show the results. You can show items from as many categories as you want. Only those will be showed.
how to apply more then 1 different color overlay as you have in your demonstration to the blog skin and using grid 2. A overlay color meta box will appear on every portfolio item edit box. If you want to maintain the transparency you can enter something like rgba(0,0,255,0.5); in that box
I’m interested in carousel functionality. I would like to know more about the setting options, and what you can style and how easily? Is it easy to style with css? Can you style pagination, change previous/next icons, colors, position of that? The carousel is 100% skinable via CSS and the icons are simply image, you can just go ahead and replace them, position again is part of css so easily changeable. Seems like a lot you need to remember with the shortcodes. Is there dropdown list or any help that makes that easier? False, there is not much to remember. There is a shortcode generator included that appears on every post / page . There are options for almost all customization options, and more are added with every update.
Can I show any of the custom fields together with each scroll, or is it just description? With some light php / wp knowledge you can add any custom meta there.
The tile colors are random or can I choose somehow? There is one default color. But you can choose for each item via an easy to use colorpicker.
Using the accordion view, once you click the picture and the secondary content populates, where the images slider appears….
Can I place a video in that position?
the opened content comes from the post content. So any html can be placed there
Thank you!
I want to use the plugin as a way to show some posts from a certain category (not portfolio). What should i write in the Custom WPQuery Arguments field in the shortcode generator to show for example 3 categories with IDs for example 4,5 and 8
post_type=post&cat=206,207
OR the complete shortcode, something like this should do
[zoomfolio settings_mode="masonry" skin="skin-default" wpqargs=" post_type=post" cats="206,207"]
Where 206 and 207 ar the id of your categories
I assumed it would have functionality with existing wordpress categories. But it does work with existing categories. Just that they do not appear in the Shortcode Generator. You have to manually type the categories you want id’s. And the id is easy to get ( link here – http://digitalzoomstudio.net/faq/ )
And then you just build the shortcode based on that like so ( for example )
[portfolio cats="3,14" wpqargs="post_type=post"]
Another question please, how i can fix the gallery at the center of my page? it’s always in the left. Thanks!
If you use a fullscreen theme, you can wrap the shortcode in a that centers like so ( for example )
<div style="margin:0 auto; width:100%: max-width: 1170px;"> [portfolio] </div>
hi i was wondering how can i pull specific post category via shortcode You just have to write cats=”thecategoryid” as an shortcode attribute so for example if you want posts / items from category 5 you would do
[portfolio cats="5"]
Info on how to get the category id here – http://digitalzoomstudio.net/faq/
Where do i put vimeo id on post to open on lightbox You just write the link to the video in the Big Image field ( ie https://vimeo.com/2 )
Hi, i would to know if is it possible add videos in your portfolio. I mean, if it plays when clicks on it. Yes, it allows for self hosted video, vimeo and youtube
With the recent posts, does it just show recent posts, or can you set it to show sticky posts or from a particular category? You can show posts from the categories you want by specifying the category id in the cat parameter
Also can you insert the folio with a php code, so it will show on the homepage? sure echo do_shortcode('[portfolio]');
