The Ultimate Guide to Portfolio Pages on Squarespace 7.1

Annoying that you can't hide a project while working on it - and also annoying you cant password protect a project. How could that be achieved with portfolio? If not possible, then how? Blog?

mesmerized by the way your nostril move. Great video too thank you.

Hi, when I choose "Add Section", I'm not seeing the "Gallery" option. I'm using 7.1 - thx

Hello, Nice Video!
Here are some Quick Questions:
1. How to add a portfolio section on the home page? and when I updated the latest portfolio/case study it is automatically updated on the home page or not just like News/Blog.
2. Can we add a load more button to the portfolio section?

Hi your tutorial was great. I created a portfolio under my non-linked pages, but before that I created separate "blank" non linked pages that are meant to serve as the different "albums". I finished loading photos in to six albums and they all have different url slugs (for example /family-photos. ISSUE and PROBLEM - when I went into my Portfolio page and clicked settings to link the pages, they would not link or sync. The gallery page would have /gallery as a Url slug and I attempted to enter /family-photos behind the /gallery (I.e. /gallery/family-photos. However, it still wouldn't sync or link the pages. What could I possibly be doing wrong? Can these blank customized pages be linked inside the portfolio page? Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

love it! clean explanation!

Thank goodness. You don't talk too quickly so I am able to follow. I have been trying to understand Squarespace for a few days now. It isn't so easy for a novice. You are encouraging.

Annoyingly no masonry layout option which would have worked nicely for me but nice addition.

This was so so so so very helpful!

Hi. Thanks for an informative video. However, I want to customize the sections and place them side to side for certain projects. I am unable to do that and also apply custom animation to individual sections. I'm not sure if 7.1 allows that anymore.

hello - i love the portfolio settings - however is there anyway to tweak the design to get a mosaic layout? similar to the old mercer template layouts in 7.0?

Looking to crop and resize images in portfolio view. That is different process than gallery view?

It looks like there is a limit of 60 projects in a portfolio page - is there a way round this?

Hey there! Is there a way to add a password to a project page? It's strange because I'm easily able to do so when it comes to other pages outside the portfolio pages, but not for individual pages inside the 'Portfolio.' If there is a way, I certainly haven't been able to figure out an intuitive way

Hello, Thanks for the video, can you move portfolio modules(projects) between other portfolio pages?

hi i am in architecture and trying to create the portfolio page that you are showing but when I look at the page options, portfolio isn't an option.

Hello, thanks for this awesome video! Recently, I am setting up a photography website, therefore, your tips and tricks are really helpful for me! :)

However, I‘ve been experiencing some issues with the mobile version (the animation on mobile devices, to be specific) of my main portfolio page. I am currently using the „Hover: Background“-layout and even though it is looking and working perfectly fine on my laptop, the images start to kind of „flicker“ as soon as I start scrolling up or down on my iPad or smartphone (mostly when the adress bar „grows“ or „shrinks“ in browsers like Safari or Edge) which is pretty annoying.

Is there anything I can do against this issue? Or is it simply a Squarespace issue which could easily be fixed? An answer would be amazing ❤️!

Hi! Thanks for the introductionthat I watched in hope of finding an answer to my question: How can I link form my website directly to a special portfolio project. Let's say, I'm a photographer with various types of services. On my page about maternity sessions I then want to link to the portfolio project wit the maternity pictures. I wouldn't want to link to the whole portfolio and expect may website visitor to scroll to find the maternity project among many other projects.

Hi, Thanks for the detailed video covering the portfolio section.
i was trying to figure-out how to add a profile picture to the website like a fb profile pic, does squarespace has a easy way to do it?

Thank you for your video. I have a question. How do I embed links of my blog posts which I published somewhere else to my Squarespace portfolio? Like when someone clicks on each thumbnail on my portfolio, I want the thumbnail to take them directly to my blog post. So, how do I link my blog posts to my thumbnails in the Portfolio section? Also, is there a way to turn a page on the navigation menu at the top of my website into a button? Like I want the "Hire Me" page to be a button. How do I do that?

Is there a way to add a gallery page or portfolio page and not have a description under the image, instead you click on the thumbnail image and it brings you to another page with the information...

Hi, i just wanted to ask how can you export or send someone your portfolio fro sqaure space?

Yeah, well this new feature is good only if you are creating a full blown website. If the website is not solely for a portfolio, then this is simply an add on to the website with less design features than if your website was solely a portfolio website.

Can you add purchasing features to the gallery/portfolio?

Thank you!

Hi! This was super helpful, I am trying to create an infinite scroll setup for my page but I’m having issues with the portfolio page. Any advice? I want to be able to click the image and be taken to another page but still want it part of my infinite scroll landing page

Am I the only one that has issues with photos sizing inconsistently and breaking the clean grid? even if all images are saved to the same sized and are cropped. I don't think its a responsiveness issue, but if it is I can't figure out how to turn it off.

Hi Erica, thanks for this. You mentioned that there's no duplicating portfolios (except within portfolio page). I want an ALL PROJECTS nav item, and then several other navs ie. IDENTITY or ILLUSTRATION. (i'd been building in Brine, i'd resorted to making my portfolio page using blogs, and then was planning on using tagging so if I tagged a project with IDENTITY I could then point the identity nav item to populate with anything tagged IDENTITY). Anyway, wondering if this is possible now for PORTFOLIOS or some other method. Having a hard time finding comprehensive answer in cyberspace. Hope that makes sense, any help is much appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Erica!
I was wondering if you could also go into explaining how to create anchor links with different portfolio projects. Please help out! :)
