   Is it possible in the Portfolio setup to make the read more button open a pdf file on my server or wp meda file?

   Hey,
   yes - in template_portfolio.php replace:
   

   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" class="more-link">Read more</a>

   with:
   

   <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdffile', true) != ''){
   echo '<a class="more-link" href="'.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdffile', true).'">Download PDF document</a>';
   }else{ ?>
   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" class="more-link">Read more</a>
   <?php } ?>

   Afterwards add a custom field to all poprtfolio items with pdf documents. Call the custom field "pdffile" and as value type in the url to the pdf document.

   Dude, (Since that's your name) Love it,

   Thank you so much for your responses to all my forum questions.

   Regarding this one, is there a way to put a target_blank for these links so that they open in a new page or tab?

   Yes that's possible. Instead of the code I posted above use:
   

   <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdffile', true) != ''){
   echo '<a class="more-link" target="_blank" href="'.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdffile', true).'">Download PDF document</a>';
   }else{ ?>
   <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" class="more-link">Read more</a>
   <?php } ?>

   Hey,
   yes - in template_portfolio.php replace:
   

   echo "<a href='".get_permalink()."' class='more-link'>".__('Read more','avisio')."</a>";

   with:
   

   <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdffile', true) != ''){
   echo "<a href='".get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdffile', true)."' class='more-link'>".__('Download PDF document','avisio')."</a>";
   }else{ ?>
   echo "<a href='".get_permalink()."' class='more-link'>".__('Read more','avisio')."</a>";
   <?php } ?>

   Afterwards add a custom field to all poprtfolio items with pdf documents. Call the custom field "pdffile" and as value type in the url to the pdf document.

   Hi there,

   Doing that breaks the page (just blank white)?
