    Thank you so much for all your help so far on my portfolio website: sonjaeller.com

    I’m very happy with all the changes I could make so far and I even figured out my first CSS command myself today.

    Anyway, I still need a little bit more help with some fine-tuning of the site. I hope someone can help me out here:

    1. Is it possible to change the permalink of a project type???

    My graphic design work is all marked with the project type “design” and the slug “design portfolio”. This results in the permalink: http://sonjaeller.com/project-type/designportfolio/
    Is it possible to change this to http://sonjaeller.com/designportfolio/ ?

    2. I would like my projects to be found in the calendar widget in the same way as posts appear there. Is That possible?

    3. I found a thread in the forum which talks about how to change the color of the hover effect, but unfortunately the user found out himself how to do it and did not post the answer. Is there anyone who could provide the answer for me? I would like to change all of the red/rust hovers to #137273

    4. On my homepage the number of visible projects is unlimited (per default). On the project-type page there is only a limited amount of projects shown, the rest is available by clicking a button “older posts’. Can I also change this to unlimited too? And also why are the featured images bigger then on the homepage?

    I’m sorry for so many questions… Is there a limit of questions per topic???

    Thanks a lot!!!!!

    Hi Sonja – I’ll answer your questions in batches.

    I’m very happy with all the changes I could make so far and I even figured out my first CSS command myself today.

    That’s wonderful!

    I’m sorry for so many questions… Is there a limit of questions per topic???

    No worries, that’s what we’re here for. There isn’t a limit, but generally sticking to a couple of questions per thread is best. Starting a new thread for additional questions is also helpful.

    1. Is it possible to change the permalink of a project type???

    No, that’s something set within the Jetpack plugin and can’t be changed.

    No, since they are custom post types, not regular posts. You might try looking for a different calendar widget plugin that is able to incorporate custom post types.

    You’ll need to target all the correct elements.

    For example, to change the link hover in the main menu, you’d add:

    .main-navigation ul li a:hover {
   color: #137273;
}

    I’d suggest using a browser inspector to find any other elements you need to target – it’s a great tool to learn how to use and will help you improve your skills. Here are some posts to help with that:

    If you get stuck on changing a particular element, please provide a link to the specific post or page and point us to the words whose hover colour you’re having trouble changing.

    You can change the number of portfolio projects displayed per page under Settings > Writing, “Portfolio pages display at most XX projects.”

    And also why are the featured images bigger then on the homepage?

    Because you’re using the portfolio shortcode on the front page instead of applying the theme’s Portfolio Template to the page. Can you switch to using the Portfolio Template or is there a reason you need the shortcode?
