 * First, make sure you have the [Jetpack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/)
   plugin’s Custom Content Types module active — it’s needed to add portfolio projects.
 * Once it’s active:
 * – Add portfolio projects under your new Portfolio dashboard item, making sure
   each one has a featured image.
    – Create a static page to use as your front page.
   Select the Portfolio Page template from the Page Attributes box. – In your Customizer’s
   Static Front Page panel, assign the page you just created as your static front
   page.
 * Those are the basic steps. You’ll find more detail in the setup guide here:

 * Let us know how it goes.
    Just let me know if you get stuck at any point.

 * Can I install jetpack on localserver host or need real URL adress for my site?
   
   Gives an error message ⌊Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate
   with your site [HTTP 404].⌉

 * You can use certain features – including the Custom Content Types module – in
   Jetpack locally, by setting it to development mode:

 * Now jetpack work 🙂
    But there another problem with Portfolio. Here writhing 
   instruction to add [https://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/)
   _In your site’s homepage, go to Settings → Writing → Custom Content Types and
   make sure the “Portfolio Projects” option is enabled. When you’re done, save 
   your changes. Add projects under the new Portfolio menu item in your sidebar.
 * I cant see words “Custom Content Types” in Settings → Writing →
    It looks like

 * Have you activated the **Custom Content Types module**, in your Jetpack settings?
   Once you do that, you should see a new item in your dashboard called Portfolios.
 * > In your site’s homepage, go to Settings → Writing → Custom Content Types and
   > make sure the “Portfolio Projects” option is enabled. When you’re done, save

 * That step is only needed for sites that don’t have built-in portfolio support,
   which Espied does, so you won’t see that note. But you do need to activate the
   Custom Content Types module.
 * Let me know how it goes!

 * You’ll need to add a Featured Image for each portfolio project — that’s what 
   appears on the front page. It’s the box below Project Tags.
