Beautiful, Simple, Project Portfolio's for WordPress, using the latest Semantic UI.
Project Pages are beautiful, no-nonsense portfolio pages for WordPress.
Leverage your work: We all have projects. We burn through them. Clients, hobbies, artwork. There’s so much value in sharing what we’ve created.
I’ve written Project Pages to solve this personal pain point: Quickly and beautifully display past projects in a way that promotes sharing and user-engagement.
Project Pages Benefits:
- Simple & Practical: Easily add projects/portfolio items and share them
- Free: Too many of these portfolio plugins/themes, suck, (and cost premium prices)
- Proper WordPress Templates: Totally editable for those who know their way around WordPress
- Pretty URLS, Semantic-UI, and OG-Meta Ready: Properly written WordPress Permalinks, Design Powered by the wonderful Semantic UI, for easy beautiful pages, and SEO ready like the best of them
My Example
I’ve been making plugins for almost a decade. I’ve made over 30. I wrote Project Pages so that I could display a past portfolio of my works.

FAQ
Where can I edit the page templates?
Project Pages uses built in templates in the /templates directory of the plugin. Do not edit these directly. If you would like to override these (woocommerce style), you can do so by making a directory “/project-pages” inside of your theme directory. Templates from this directory will be given priority over the defaults built in to Project Pages. (You can safely ignore this functionality and rely on Project Pages default portfolio styling.)
If you do desire to modify the templates, you can install example templates from the menu in the Project Pages Settings. You can edit these files to directly modify all of the pages that Project Pages presents your end users.
The templates would then be:
wp-content/yourtheme/project-pages/archive-projectpage.php
wp-content/yourtheme/project-pages/projectpages-footer.php
wp-content/yourtheme/project-pages/single-projectpage.php
wp-content/yourtheme/project-pages/taxonomy-projectpagetag.php
… these are fairly self explanitory, and if you’re familiar with HTML/PHP/WordPress, you can probably edit these without any issue.
How can I keeep my own theme and show projects?
To achieve this, (for now), I recommend the following:
1. Backup existing "single-projectpage.php" to your computer
2. Make a copy of the "single.php" file from your theme directory, and name it "single-projectpage.php" (overwrite if existing)
3. Edit this file to output the project data (you can look at the previous file from step 1 for guidance).
…(But realise that Project Pages has been built to be a stand-alone project repository, with generic-but-sweet-design.)
