# Portfolio

Showcasing your work, and giving other post types the same layouts.

The Portfolio has been an integral part of the Kalium theme since its inception, starting from version 1. It’s not just a feature, it’s a source of pride for the theme.

Designed with flexibility and creativity in mind, the Portfolio section allows you to showcase your work in a visually stunning and highly customizable manner, making it a favorite among users.

## It isn't only for portfolios

**The portfolio module isn't tied to the Portfolio post type.** On the same settings screen, **Portfolio Post Types** lets you hand the entire module (the project layouts, galleries, filters and hover effects) to any other post type on your site.

That's how a **Case Studies**, **Services** or **Projects** section gets Kalium's project layouts while keeping its own name everywhere your visitors see it. Each post type gets its own complete set of Portfolio options, independent of the others.

## Where the settings live

The portfolio has settings in three places, and knowing which is which saves a lot of searching:

| Where                                                              | What it controls                                      |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Kalium -> Settings -> Portfolio**                                | Whether the module is on, and which post types use it |
| **Appearance -> Customize -> Portfolio**                           | How listings and project pages look site-wide         |
| **Parameters and Options**, on a page using the Portfolio template | One particular listing                                |
| **Parameters and Options**, on a project                           | One particular project, its layout and gallery        |

**Portfolio pages showing a critical error?** That's almost always Advanced Custom Fields Pro being inactive, the project fields are ACF fields. Install it from **Kalium -> Plugins**.

**Project links returning 404?** Go to **Settings -> Permalinks** and save once.
