 * Hello,
    I have two categories A and B. So my filter is: see all, A, B. I would
   like to initially set the portfolio in order to only show category A, so that
   the user who wants to see category B has to click on B or on “see all” in the
   filter. Is it possible with the free version? Or with the pro version? Thanks.

 * Hey.
 * Unfortunately, it is not possible in block options to set the default filter 
   selected (with Pro it is also not possible).
 * The only way – is to change the URL manually. For example, this URL will be used
   to select a filter with category slug “easy” – [https://visualportfolio.co/posts/?vp_filter=category%3Aeasy](https://visualportfolio.co/posts/?vp_filter=category%3Aeasy)
 * Regards, nK.

 * Hello nK,
 * I tried your proposal with a clean new WP installation. Only installed the portfolio
   plugin. But it doesnt work. The result of the page is: “No items were found matching
   your selection.”
 * Any idea?
 * regards
