How To Add The Divi Fullwidth Portfolio Module To Your Page
Before you get started you’ll need to have the Divi theme installed on your WordPress website and at least one project published on your site so that the Fullwidth Portfolio has something to display. Learn how to install Divi here and learn how to publish your first project here.
Important: You will need to have at least one project published on your website in order for the Fullwidth Portfolio module to have something to display.
For additional information on the Divi Builder itself, its interface, usage philosophy and best practices, please refer to our Getting Started With The Divi Builder guide.
Add The Divi Fullwidth Portfolio Module
Navigate to the page you want to add the Divi Fullwidth Portfolio to and enable the Visual Builder by clicking “Enable Visual Builder” on the WordPress admin bar at the top of the page.
Since the Fullwidth Portfolio Module can only exist in fullwidth sections, we must first add a new fullwidth section. To add a fullwidth section to your page, click the “+” icon and click the “Fullwidth” tab to add a fullwidth section.
Once clicked the fullwidth module library appears. Scroll to “Fullwidth Portfolio” and click to add it to your page, or use the search bar to locate the Fullwidth Portfolio module.
All Divi Fullwidth Portfolio Module Options Explained
Once you’ve added the portfolio module, the module settings automatically pop up. This is where all of the content and design styles for this module are configured. These settings are organized into three groups via the tabs at the top of the module: Content, Design, and Advanced.
Content Settings
Inside this tab, you’ll find the content options available for the Divi Fullwidth Portfolio Module.
Content
In this settings group you can choose to add a Portfolio Title, choose which project categories you want displayed, and how many projects you want displayed.
- Portfolio Title -If you’d like to display a portfolio title above the portfolio images, type the title here.
- Included Categories – Choose which project categories you would like to include in the portfolio. By default, all categories display. You can choose one category, multiple categories, or all categories.
- Post Count – Define the number of projects you would like displayed in the portfolio by typing a numerical value.
Elements
When you hover over a portfolio project, it displays the project’s title and date by default. Here you can choose to show or hide the project’s title and/or date on hover.
- Show Title – Toggle this option yes or no to show or hide the project title that displays on hover over the project image.
- Show Date – Toggle this option yes or no to show or hide the project date that displays on hover over the project image.
Link
Here you can apply a link to the entire module, but we don’t recommend doing that with this module because that means visitors won’t be able to click on each individual portfolio item because applying a link to the entire module overrides the content within.
- Module Link URL – Paste the URL of the link you would like to apply to this module here. This makes the entire module clickable and when clicked it will direct visitors to the URL pasted here.
- Module Link Target – Defining a link target determines whether the link, when clicked, opens in a new tab or in the same window. Choose “In The Same Window” if you want the link to open in the same window and click “In The New Tab” if you would like that link to open in a new tab. By default, “In The Same Window” is selected.
Background
This is where you can add a background color, gradient, image, video, pattern, or mask to this module.
How to Add a Background Color
