Portfolio Settings
Turn the portfolio module on or off, and give its layouts to any post type on your site.
Kalium -> Settings -> Portfolio controls the portfolio module: whether it's loaded at all, and which post types get to use it.
Portfolio Extension
On by default.
This loads the portfolio module, the Portfolio post type, its project layouts, its Customizer screens and its builder elements.
Turning it off removes all of that. If you're building a shop or a blog and have no use for a portfolio, switching it off keeps your Customizer tidier. Nothing is deleted; your projects stay in the database.
Portfolio Post Types
This is the setting worth knowing about, and it's easy to miss.
The portfolio module is not tied to the Portfolio post type. Tick any post type in this list and it gains the entire module, the same layouts, galleries and options that Portfolio has. The list holds public custom post types, leaving out WordPress's built-in ones and the plugin-owned types the theme ignores.
That's how a Case Studies, Services or Projects post type gets Kalium's project layouts without being called Portfolio.
A ticked post type receives:
Its taxonomies attached automatically, so filtering works
Its own complete set of Portfolio options in the Customizer, named after the post type
The Parameters and Options panel on its items, Project Layout, Project Gallery, Checklists and the rest
Its own Preselected Item Type and Default Archive Page (below)
Per-post-type settings
For each post type you tick, two more settings appear, named after it:
Preselected Item Type The project layout new items start on. If most of your case studies use the same layout, set it here and stop choosing it every time.
Default Archive Page The page used as that post type's archive, the listing visitors see.
Adding a post type
Tick it under Portfolio Post Types
Save
Its Customizer screens appear right away
If the new options don't show in the Customizer, save this settings page and then reload the Customizer. The screens are registered on the next load.
If project URLs return a 404 error after adding or removing a post type, go to Settings -> Permalinks and click Save once. Nothing needs changing, saving is what rebuilds the URLs.
Removing a post type
Untick it and save.
The post type keeps all its posts and goes back to its own templates. It simply stops using the portfolio module, and its Portfolio option screens disappear.
Your settings are kept, so ticking it again restores everything as it was.
Turning the portfolio off entirely
Switch Portfolio Extension off. Nothing is deleted, the module just stops loading.
