Title: Shortcode access Last modified: January 1, 2017 --- # Shortcode access * Resolved [deanbartley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deanbartley/) * (@deanbartley) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/) * Do we have to assign it to a page? Is there a shortcode I could use to add it to an existing page?

Easy Photography Portfolio is a fully fledged portfolio system for WordPress. It’s not some gallery that you can paste in somewhere in-between your content. That’s why “EPP” is different from other “galleries” out there. The “Portfolio” it’s meant to **be** the content on your site, just like “Blog” is the news/articles section on your site. * That said – you can make an existing page to show your portfolio using the plugin settings. Have a look here: [https://youtu.be/MKDWnxmcRWA?t=1m35s](https://youtu.be/MKDWnxmcRWA?t=1m35s) * Just be aware that when you set a page to display the portfolio – it’s going to display the portfolio, nothing else. * Hope that clears things up, Cheers, Norris. * [andrew72nd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew72nd/) * (@andrew72nd) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8823611) * Hi I have a similar question… I understand what it supposed to be, but is it possible to have two portfolios assigned to two pages? each to one page…? - This reply was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by [andrew72nd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew72nd/). * Plugin Author [justnorris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justnorris/) * (@justnorris) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8824343) * Andrew – by portfolios do you mean single portfolio entries (galleries) or albums( aka portfolio archives) ? * [andrew72nd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew72nd/) * (@andrew72nd) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8826069) * ….to have 2 or 3 pages each one with a gallery of albums ; I think that’s the best way to explain it. * One album is one item in actual portfolio, which contains several pictures. - This reply was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by [andrew72nd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew72nd/). * Plugin Author [justnorris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justnorris/) * (@justnorris) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8826118) * I think I need an example, otherwise we won’t understand each other. * At the moment the plugin is capable of structuring your site in Categories. For example: * `example.com/portfolio/category/weddings` with 3 posts of weddings `example. com/portfolio/category/newborn-photography` with 9 different newborn sessions * `example.com/portfolio` is going to show all of the posts ( weddings and newborn photography ), but if you don’t want to show all posts, you can just link directly to a category from the menu. - This reply was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by [justnorris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justnorris/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by [justnorris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justnorris/). * [andrew72nd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew72nd/) * (@andrew72nd) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8826313) * Ah,ok…I ‘ll try to use your examples…maybe I can achieve what I want… and instead of what I initially asked, I could link the menus directly to portfolio categories as you suggested unintentionally 🙂 .. will give it a try. Thanks for the fast reply! * [andrew72nd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew72nd/) * (@andrew72nd) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8827778) * `example.com/portfolio/category/weddings` is not working. If i open the link in the portfolio categories using the “view” link, I receive the message ” OOPS! THAT PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND.” on the page. I think it’s a good ideea if it works. Any suggestions ? I’m using wordpress 4.7.2 * can you show an example on your demo site? I would expect : [http://default.portfolio.bycolormelon.com/portfolio/category/food/](http://default.portfolio.bycolormelon.com/portfolio/category/food/) but it redirects and removes the “category” word from adress * Plugin Author [justnorris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justnorris/) * (@justnorris) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8832147) * 1. Just to make sure – you do have a weddings portfolio category created, and portfolio entires assigned to it ? 2. Have you set your permalinks correctly? * Can you post a link to your site ? * [andrew72nd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew72nd/) * (@andrew72nd) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-access-2/#post-8835510) * It’s on a intern/local server . I will check what you’ve suggested. Thank you!
