    Surely, this will be a stupid question but, Is there a way of not lossing all the time spend in create the portfolio items?
    Greetings. Nicolás

    Hi nicolasweh!

    You could pull out the portfolio custom post type by itself from the theme code and then add it into another theme but right now it isn’t available as stand alone plugin.

    Regards,

    Ok, I don’t understand what’s the process you mean.
    Can I ask, Why do you have not integrated the Portfolio Items to the native WordPress Posts?
    Would not it be better if each element Portfolio is in the format of Post?
    If in the “Add New Post” I had the Advanced Editor of “Add New Portfolio Entry” I would not think 2 times.
    Now what’s done is done. But I was surprised to see that out of the theme, the entire Portfolio disappears and with it, the content.
    Greetings, and keep the good work and support

    Portfolio items are a pretty standard separate custom post type. It allows for more flexibility in how you display items and how those items are used.

    You can read more about custom post types here to get an idea of why they are used in WordPress in place of posts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types#Custom_Post_Types

    Posts are reserved for everything loosely defined as blog posts. They are the only thing that can be parsed by dates by default and really should be left to post data which is why they don’t have the advanced layout editor.

    Pages and custom post types are more static content which can be more easily custom edited for specific purpose.
