Wordpress: what is a portfolio?

In connection with the CMS WordPress, the term portfolio appears again and again. We explain the difference between a portfolio and normal pages.

WordPress: difference between page and portfolio

• A page in WordPress is basically a post - with a title, text and possibly an image. However, it is not necessarily assigned to specific categories.
• In the portfolio, on the other hand, several entries or articles are grouped under a category such as "Current" or "Team" and are then displayed together on one page.
• To keep an overview of which portfolio entries are listed where, you should make sure when defining a portfolio post that you define which category the article should be assigned to. But it is very simple: you just have to click the appropriate box.
• The default is to sort the portfolio entries according to the descending creation date. If you want to sort differently, the way is to change the creation date of the entry.
