Posts<\/strong> are organized in Categories and are meant for multiple entries of a similar kind. All artwork should be entered as Posts and included in a Category. For example a group of paintings completed between 2006 and 2007, would be uploaded to a post named “2006-2007” and included in the category “Painting”. Later you might add another post, “2008-2009”, of recent paintings to the “Painting” category.<\/p>\n Pages<\/strong> are meant for single entry items, usually complete in themselves. Your bio, artist statement and contact info should probably be entered as Pages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Choosing category names and how they are used in WPFolio.<\/p>\n Categories organize your site and become menu items in the top menu.<\/p>\n Choose short words that are general and inclusive.<\/p>\n Choose categories that will work as your site expands and grows.<\/p>\n Do not create too many catgeories.<\/p>\n WPFolio navigation examples:<\/p>\n Category Suggestions:<\/p>\n Painting Unless a series is large and includes many groups of work, don’t create Categories for series. Include them in posts (galleries) within the most appropriate Category.<\/p>\n Special WPFolio Categories that are formatted for text with inlines images, appropriate fore news and blogs:<\/p>\n News I recommend creating at lease one category with one of those names as an all-purpose category to notify people about upcoming shows and reviews and the like.<\/p>\n Once you have decided which categories to use.<\/p>\n Click on “Categories” in the “Posts” menu.<\/p>\n On the Categories page enter your category and enter a category slug. The “slug” is what will appear in the url for that category. The slug should be lower case only without spaces. Use a dash “-” or an underscore “_” instead of a space. If you have a category “Recent Work” the slug will be “recent_work”. Add a description. And Click Save at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n Also you should change “Uncategorized” to one of your navigation categories.<\/p>\n One final change in regards to Categories. Return to Settings in the left hand menu and click “Writing”.<\/p>\n Change “Default Post Category” to your most commonly used category.<\/p>\n Click “Save Changes”.<\/p>\n Thank you so much for your post. Its much easier to follow than the ‘official’ guide.<\/p>\n I have one question I hope you might know the answer too.<\/p>\n In the text at the bottom of my gallery pages is the permalink. How can I remove this? Or change it to the post title?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I am glad you found my tutorial useful.<\/p>\n In the admin section of WordPress go to Appearance->Editor.<\/p>\n Click on Main Index Template, index.php in the right hand menu.<\/p>\n Find the section that looks like this:<\/p>\n To delete it I usually “comment” it out rather than delete, in case you change your mind at a later date. To comment it out add <!– at the beginning and –> at the end. So that it looks like this.<\/p>\n If you want to rearrange it a bit. You could do something like the following. I made the title a link, commented out the archive page (2009) and kept comments the same. I think if you look at the php you will be able to figure out what it refers to e.g. <?php the_title(); ?> is the title, etc. WordPress has a good list of all the template tags if you want to go deeper.<\/p>\n http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Template_Tags<\/a><\/p>\n I hope this helps.<\/p>\n You can view his finished site at http:\/\/mariancarow.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First, an explanation of the function of categories in Wordpress and WPFolio and website navigation, then create the categories.<\/p>\nCreating Categories for the Navigation of your site.<\/h4>\n
