The Portfolio Block is available in the Organic Blocks Bundle. The block displays a portfolio of posts from a selected post type. It may be added to any page or post using the WordPress 5+ Gutenberg editor. Additionally, several options are provided for modifying the layout, style, colors, and more.
Getting Started
To get started, add the Portfolio Block to any page or post using the WordPress 5+ block editor. Search “Organic” or “Portfolio” within your list of available blocks. Upon adding the block, select your post type and taxonomy. Then, click the “Done” button. As a result, the portfolio will render within the editor as it appears on your website.
The Portfolio Block displays the featured image, title, excerpt, and a Pinterest link for each portfolio item. The featured image displays as the portfolio image for each post. Additionally, block options are available on the right to modify the portfolio settings and style.

Portfolio Block Requirements
The Portfolio Block requires published content on your WordPress site in order to display properly. As a result, we recommend publishing multiple posts with featured images, and applying a category before using this block on a fresh WordPress installation.
All WordPress blocks, including Organic Blocks, require WordPress 5+ and the Gutenberg editor. Additionally, the Organic Blocks Bundle requires that your server is using PHP 7+ in order to work properly. Please Note: These are standard requirements for running WordPress 5+ on any web server.
