Could you provide a link to your site so I can take a look?
The checkbox in Settings > Reading only applies to WordPress.com sites, not self-hosted. On self-hosted sites running Jetpack you should see the message “Your theme supports jetpack-portfolio” – which it sounds like you are seeing.
You should also see a new top-level admin menu item called Portfolios, which looks like this part I’ve circled in red:
HI Kathryn,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I have finally figured out how the portfolio template works but not completely !
I still have some issues with it !
my web site is http://www.studiosierra.com/
For exemple :
– portfolio template works well in the home page which shows all projects. but if I want to use it for the communication/edition/illustration pages it doesn’t work. It still show me all the projects instead doing a classification by themes com/editions/illustration.
For doing that I have to choose a default page and add a shortcode manually…
Is it possible to create various portfolio template pages ?
– other thing : in the communication/edition/illustration sometimes black line appears below project picture sometimes no !! I don’t know why ?
– the text layout of A PROPOS page is also not good ! and I need to figure out it but I guess it is un another topic !!
Many thanks in advance for your expertise !

Hi there, the portfolio template will display all of your projects, up to the number you have set under “Portfolio pages display at most…”. There currently isn’t a way to have multiple portfolio pages and control which types show on the pages. For now, you will need to use the Shortcode, but there are a good number of Attributes you can use to control the display, which you are probably already using.
On your Communications page, I would suggest changing the dates on the projects so that on the one with the short image, the long description is forcing the 5th item to be orphaned down below. I would suggest either not using a description, like you did on the rest, or possibly shortening it considerably so that things are so out of alignment.
The black line appears on portfolio types where there is text content in the project. In the case of Tabarly on the Illustration page, it looks like there is an empty paragraph in the content area. Edit that and take out that empty paragraph and the line should go away.
In Espied, left aligned images are pulled 130px to the left and right aligned images are pulled 130px to the right. Edit your A Propos page and set the alignment of the image to Center.
Hi Sacredpath !
Many thanks, I am very grateful for your advices !
– concerning the communication page, the text below the short image is not a description !! That’s the text I have had in content of the FURIES page… I don’t know how remove it from the communication page …no more description !
-Could you explain me if it’s important to add TAG or not in images ? for what ?
– I would like to change the order of projects in the Home page ( portfolio template) is it possible ?
– and finally i would like to remove the commentary part below all pages…I don’t know how!
Sorry for all these questions, as you ever certainly know I am a beginner !

Hello Sierra,
concerning the communication page, the text below the short image is not a description !! That’s the text I have had in content of the FURIES page… I don’t know how remove it from the communication page …no more description !
If you wish to remove that text on Furies open that Project in the editor and you can delete it there.
-Could you explain me if it’s important to add TAG or not in images ? for what ?
The alt and title tags are there for a few reasons. First, if the image doesn’t load for some reason, the Title tag content will show where the image should be. Secondly, for the visually impaired, their screen readers will read the tags for the visitor so they have an indication of what the image is. Also, search engines need the alt tag content to know what an image is about since they can’t “look” at the image. Typically they will not index an image that does not have an alt tag. It is good to include both, but if only one, then use the alt tag.
I would like to change the order of projects in the Home page ( portfolio template) is it possible ?
Portfolio Projects are displayed in order by published date. To change the order, you need to edit each Project and change the publish date so that they appear in the order you want them to.
and finally i would like to remove the commentary part below all pages…I don’t know how!
I see you have switched to Illustratr from Espied. On Illustratr you can use the following CSS to hide the comments everywhere.
#respond {
display: none;
}
HI Sacredpath !
Again thank you for you help !
Now I can see the light straight away, my first will be alive soon !
Before I have few more question before the launching :
– How can I add text above the portfolio in the portfolio template as this website (home page) ? : http://jonnyevansdesign.com/
– How can I get the same translucent effect picture as the portfolio template page (home) in others pages ( communication/editions/illustration) using shortcode for the portfolio + default page
-How can I remove de TITLE in bold font SIERRA STUDIO in the home page to add my logo ?
– and last question : do you have advices for web search engine
After these questions and answers I should be ok !

Hello Sierra,
How can I add text above the portfolio in the portfolio template as this website (home page) ? : http://jonnyevansdesign.com/
I’m seeing Hello, my name is Jonny Evans… above the portfolios on your main page. Is that what you were looking to do?
How can I get the same translucent effect picture as the portfolio template page (home) in others pages ( communication/editions/illustration) using shortcode for the portfolio + default page
On the Illustration page at http://jonnyevansdesign.com/project-tag/illustration/ I’m seeing the same green translucent overlay with the + so it looks like you got this working or am I not seeing what you are talking about?
How can I remove de TITLE in bold font SIERRA STUDIO in the home page to add my logo ?
It looks like you’ve gotten this accomplished as well as I’m seeing your header image and logo and no text-based title or tagline. Again, if I’m missing something, please let me know.
Your site is looking awesome, by the way. Nice work!
Hi Jonny,
Thank a lot for your answer. Sorry for the delay, I was working on my website trying to fix last issues before disturbing you again !
There are finally three last details not completely ok, and I am still trying to figure out how does it work :
– I want to remove : “Leave a comment” in all pages but I can’t
– Home page : remove the title in bold type SIERRA STUDIO for adding my own visual identity
– How clean up and have a professional appearance on google search : find the link below to see what I mean !
https://www.google.fr/#q=studiosierra.com
After that I should be ready to communicate about it to my contact !
Have a nice day, thank for your support !
– I want to remove : “Leave a comment” in all pages but I can’t
Make sure the comments and pingbacks checkboxes are unchecked below every page, in the dashboard.
If you don’t see the option to do that, open the Screen Options panel at the top and make sure the Discussion module is checked off.
Once you do that on every page where you don’t want the comments box appearing, it will go away.
If you have no blog on your site where you want to keep comments open, you can also close comments on the entire site by un-checking “Allow people to post comments on new articles” under Settings > Discussion. Doing it there means you shouldn’t need to uncheck the box on every page.
– Home page : remove the title in bold type SIERRA STUDIO for adding my own visual identity
This custom CSS will hide your site title throughout the site:
.site-title {
display: none;
}
If you like, you can also add your own header image in the Customizer, under Header Image.
– How clean up and have a professional appearance on google search : find the link below to see what I mean !
If you’d like more control over how your site comes up in search engine results, I’d suggest you check out an SEO plugin. Two popular ones are:
