thank you so much

[@noahjohnson7081]

By far one of the easiest and most efficient Tutorials on how to quickly make a site on Wordpress. I spent hours struggling on my own and wasting time watching numerous other videos that were over an hour long. This gives easy step-by-step directions in only 10 minutes. Thank you so much for saving me more frustration!

[@PhilippKosicki]

Glad I could help 👌🏼

This tutorial is very German, straight forward. I LIKE IT

[@PhilippKosicki]

Thanks a lot!

[@carlaandreina5554]

Appreciate video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Riddleagan Money Shot Remedy (google it)? It is a great one off product for conquering any DSLR camera minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my close friend Aubrey got astronomical success with it.

[@psyduckvibes]

yes I love it too! Just subscribed!

[@ProyectoInnovador-hy6dw]

Nice Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Money Shot Remedy (search on google)?

Hey Philipp, super Tutorial... mit ruhiger Stimme und in logischen Schritten durchgeführt - so muss es sein! Bin gerade dabei mir mein eigenes Portfolio anhand deiner Anleitung zu erstellen. Danke dir!

[@PhilippKosicki]

Freut mich sehr, vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! 😊

[@미니미-h8k]

nice. can we add video mp4 rather than jpg?? and i tried to download the plugin which says we need to upgrade as business plan. !

[@johntellbom1885]

Great tutorial. For me, the option "Portfolio Layouts" don't appear. I have rest of the menus under the Visual Portfolio plug in. So I cannot follow along. Do you know what the problem might be? Thanks!

[@YJ-ss8wf]

me neither, maybe it requires a PRO version. If so, it is better to mention this in the video otherwise I did spend time to figure it out.

[@stefpix]

I have the same problem, It would be nice if the person who made the video would address the issue. I may just go with Squarespace and Wells theme. I read the page of the developer, no mention that PRO version is needed,.

[@JoosySmooyay]

@@stefpix Under visual portfolio go to the saved layouts subcategory and make a new list. The layout of the plugin has changed slightly but all the functionality remains as it was. No need for pro

[@stefpix]

Magic Man thank you. I went with square space. It was too frustrating, I wrote to the developer and did not get a reply. Too many plugins required the pro version. I like open source, but the lack of documentation is frustrating

[@PhilippKosicki]

Sorry for any inconvenience, the plugin has been updated several times since the making of the video and thus has changed a little. As far as I know there's no need for a pro version. Somebody wrote in the comments though that you need to click "Saved layouts" and then, at the top of the page, on the left side there is a button "Add new". Hope this helps anyone reading this!

[@hankfoto]

Thanks really appreciate your time. sometimes I wish I was back in Würzburg.

[@TheOriginalFayari]

Thank you, I managed to make the basic portfolio that I wanted, even faster than I could with Wix or those other website builders. I subscribed to your channel, and am on my way to watch your other videos.

[@josephgcharlton]

how? none of what he says works...i'm following his video step by step right now and there is no way to use plug ins without paying, there is no portfolio option, none of this works

Great video. I want to create a basic photo portfolio and this is what I needed. I wonder how to had a photo on the top of the home page. I noticed you removed the default photo, but did not replace it. Thanks

Great video! Very easy and helpful! Do you know how to organize the portfolio by albums? I have several categories.

Great tutorial! But I am stuck at the part where you press Portfolio Layouts. This was a few years ago, maybe the interface has changed but I can't seem to find it on my screen!

[@stefpix]

@@Wingfoiler I went with Squarespace. Not free, but it works as it should. Spent hours trying to find a Wordpress solution that I liked, but I ended up going the proprietary way.

[@kjl6138]

Format is better for me. I tried a few different web builders, and prefer Format. First , Format designs are beautiful- simple, clean, eye catching, professional. Easy to navigate their interface and experiment with themes and templates. And they work well- very smooth functioning. I tried a few other web page builders, and in my experience they were more "glitchy". Second, I am very very impressed with how the people at Format really care and are so good in terms of customer service. Third, unlike other web builders- Format is run by and for artists. I feel like its not only a web builder, but without getting too "warm and fuzzy", they really seem like they are building a community or artists. Not only by their web design and customer service, but by creating an online magazine for artists. I feel like I'm more part of a community than just a number.

[@DesireeDuarteVera]

Thank you Philipp I've been struggling with the portfolio for a while, and this is the best tutorial I've seen. I'd like to ask you if there's a way to attach a selected photo to an entrance link

[@PhilippKosicki]

Glad I could help! I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean - do you want to show a certain picture when clicking a link? If you want you can also drop the link to your website and I'll check it out, to see what the problem is :-)

Hey Philipp! Great tutorial. I have one question though and wonder if you could point me in the right direction. I'm using the Visual Portfolio plugin and I want, since I'm making a filterable portfolio, to customize the filter buttons - color when active, hover and size, padding etc. The developers made it a headache to figure out how though. Could you make a tutorial perhaps? If anyone else sees this that can help a newbie please reply!

You have the ADD NEW PAGE box at the top and the VISUAL/TEXT option. my page just has an ADD TITLE field and a block with no visual options. I am on version WordPress 5.1.1... is this just a version issue? Or is this something I can set? I like the layout f yours better, its more intuitive. Thanks!

Can I install the fotomoto plugin using just the 4$ per month membership? Fotomoto says that all they need is a website that doesn't end in wordpress.com to do it, but wordpress acts like they don't give plugins except for the business site you create.

[@PhilippKosicki]

Unfortunately you can't! Since you're asking this question it's probably too late but I would NOT recommend booking a webhosting plan with wordpress.com! I guess that's what fotomoto are trying to tell you as well, since the wordpress.com hosting plans are very limited and do not allow you to install plugins on any plan below the 25$/month... hope this helps!

Hi Phillip, I have followed your steps until the Fullwidth plug-in, it is showing that to download the plug-ins I will have to upgrade to Business. Can you please help me how to get this for free without going through Business plan?

[@PhilippKosicki]

Hey Hassan, like many others here in the comments I guess you have run into the issue that you are hosting your website at wordpress.com and therefore would have to pay to use plugins. The key is running the software wordpress on a different server - like bluehost or any other service provider. There you are free to install as many plugins as you like without any restrictions. As I told all other people that ran into this problem I don't recommend hosting with wordpress.com for this exact reason, so maybe look for a different hosting provider. Hope this hleps! :-)

fantastic.but have a small issue, once clicked on picture i cannot go back to main page.also security certificate keep saying not secure :(

[@PhilippKosicki]

This seems like a permalink issue. Try navigating to your link settings in the backend and resave the link structure. Also make sure that there is a “https” in front of the links. If that does not help and you are sure that the ssl certificate is set up correctly try to update your database with the “better search replace” plugin. Check for entries of the database that still have a non https URL and replace those. Also make sure to backup the site before messing with the database!!
