Hi, I'm your projects showcase plugin for WordPress. Use me to show off a portfolio of your latest work.

== Description ==

= Create and display a portfolio of projects =

"Projects" by WooThemes is a clean and easy-to-use portfolio showcase management system for WordPress. Load in your recent projects, and display them on a specified page using our template system, or via a shortcode, widget or template tag.

Projects integrates with our testimonials plugin allowing you to associate a testimonial with a project and display it on the single project page.

You can even assign a project to a product you've created in WooCommerce and let customers add it to their cart from the project page.

= Documentation =

Extensive documentation to help you out if you get stuck.

== Usage ==

Once installed you can begin adding projects to your portfolio right away via the 'Projects' item in the main menu. But before you do that you should go ahead and create a page for your projects (via the Pages menu item) and specify that page as your projects base page in the projects settings. The interface for adding projects is very similar to adding posts so you should feel right at home.

For more detailed usage instructions take a look at the Projects Documentation.

== Installation ==

Installing "Projects" can be done either by searching for "Projects by WooThemes" via the "Plugins > Add New" screen in your WordPress dashboard, or by using the following steps:

  1. Download the plugin via WordPress.org.
  2. Upload the ZIP file through the "Plugins > Add New > Upload" screen in your WordPress dashboard.
  3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= My project images are blurry / distorted, how do I fix that? =

It's possible that your theme is scaling images to fit their container by setting width: 100%;. If this is the case, and your project thumbnails are too small they will become distored / blurred as they are scaled up. To fix this change the project thumbnail size options in the Projects settings then regenerate your thumbnails using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.

= How do I integrate projects into my theme? =

If you run into layout issues on Projects pages then you will need to peruse one of two methods to make your theme compatible. You can read all about this in the documentation.

= I want to change X =

Projects uses template files to control the display of it's various components. These templates can be safely editied so that your customisations are not lost during updates as described in the documentation.

= Is it possible to add cusstom fields to the Project details meta box? =

Yes! You can follow this tutorial to add custom fields to projects and display them.

== Upgrade Notice ==

= 1.5.0 =

  • Fixes projects page not loading - please resave permalinks after updating!

= 1.4.2 =

  • Removes deprecated constructor call for WP_Widget

= 1.4.0 =

  • The default permalink structure has been tweaked to remove the project category. So http://localhost/network/project/landscapes/the-barrow-downs/ becomes http://localhost/network/project/the-barrow-downs/. Any old links will automatically redirect to their newer counterparts. You may have to re-save your permalink settings after performing this update. You can use the projects_post_type_rewrite filter to adjust this.

= 1.3.0 =

  • The project category urls have been improved to use the base page title as the slug opposed to the project-category default. So, previously your project cateogry urls will have looked like: yoursite.com/project-category/illustration. Now, project-category is replaced with the slug of your projects base page. So if you're using a page called 'Portfolio' that url will now look like: yoursite.com/portfolio/illustration. You will have to create custom redirects if you want the old urls work.
  • This version adds admin tabs to the settings screens, and will run an update to your existing settings data. If your data is not retained, simply resave your settings.

= 1.2.0 =

  • The project archive slug now mirrors your projects base page slug isntead of being fixed as 'projects'. If you're using a base page with a slug other than 'projects' you may want to check any static links to your projects page. For example if your base page is 'portfolio' your projects post type archive will now exist at http://yoursite.com/portfolio rather than http://yoursite.com/projects.
