Creating a Responsive Portfolio Grid for Wordpress

I am currently in the process of coding my first Responsive Wordpress Theme (using bootstrap framework).

I am currently at the stage where I wanted to created a Custom Post Type for Portfolio Items, which would allow portfolio items to be easily added and displayed on a 'Portfolio Page' in a grid view.

I have been searching a lot of sites for some guidance, but haven't been very successful in finding tutorials.

Can anybody suggest a good tutorial or website to help get me started?

Thanks in Advance,

Steffan

Hey Steffan!

Next week we have a new How to Build a WordPress Theme stage coming out that shows exactly how to do this :)

We had someone ask this question on the forum recently so I started working on a blog post that will be out sooner and have an in-depth explanation as well. I'll ping you as soon as that's on the Treehouse blog!

That said, I'd suggest using the Custom Post Types UI plugin and the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to accomplish everything in the backend. If you're able to figure out the templating part of it on your own, rock on!, if not, I'll have those other resources out soon.

I'm sure some other members would have recommendations of there own?

Hi Zac,

Thanks for the reply, I've had a go at including functions in the functions.php to display the custom post type in the dashboard, and managed to set up a template for the portfolio page itself and a single portfolio item page. I'll have to keep playing around with it to see if I can get it working.

If not I'll wait for the treehouse blog post to be posted.
