I installed a theme on my WordPress site that displays thumbnails of all the pages on my site that use the "portfolio-item" template. I love the theme, but wish it would go a little further and allow my clients to sort the portfolio items by category. By default, Wordpress doesn't have a category field for the pages, only blog posts. I was wondering if I could use WordPress' metadata to sort:
- first I'd create a custom field called "category" on every page
- assign each page a value for category
- and somehow tell the page to load only portfolio-items with the category value, depending on which one the client clicks on
I know this can be done using php, however I'm hoping to use metadata as I feel it'd be a little easier to control, since it's native to WordPress. Could anyone help me out with this?
Thanks in advance!
