How to Create a Portfolio Page

In this article

This tutorial will guide you to build a functional portfolio using only WordPress Pages and the SkyandStars design library.

Step 1: Create the Portfolio Index Page

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Pages → Add New.
  2. Name this page something like Portfolio – this will be your main portfolio page (the “index”).
  3. Publish the page.

Step 2: Load the Portfolio Layout from the Design Library

  1. On the Portfolio page you just created, click Edit with Kadence Blocks (or just edit normally).
  2. Click the Design Library button.
  3. Make sure you’ve connected to the design library you purchased. If you haven’t, follow this tutorial to connect:

  4. Once connected, find “SkyandStars” tab or “Portfolio page” in the design library title tab.
  5. Look for a layout labeled something like Portfolio Index and click “Import” or “Load”.
  6. Wait for the layout to fully load into your page editor.

Step 3: Customize the Portfolio Index Page

Replace all placeholder content (text, images, links) with your own project previews or thumbnails.
Don’t forget to Save or Update the page.

Step 4: Create a Single Portfolio Page (Project Detail Page)

  1. Go to Pages → Add New again.
  2. Name this page based on your portfolio item, e.g., “Brand Identity for ABC”.
  3. Before publishing, set this as a sub-page under your Portfolio Index page:
    • In the right-hand Page Attributes panel, choose “Portfolio” as the Parent Page.
      (Here’s a tutorial on how to create sub-pages in WordPress: Create a Subpage in WordPress)
  4. Publish the page.

Step 5: Load the Single Portfolio Layout

  1. Open the new sub-page you just created.
  2. Click Design Library again.
  3. Under the SkyandStars tab, look for a layout labeled Single Portfolio or Project Detail Page.
  4. Click Load and wait for it to appear on your page.
  5. Modify it with your project details – description, images, links, etc.
  6. Publish the page. Now this project has its own URL. You can use this page template as many as you want for all your portfolio page.

Step 6: Link the Project in Your Portfolio Index

  1. Go back to your main Portfolio page.
  2. Edit it and select the portfolio thumbnail or button for that project.
  3. Link it to the single portfolio page URL you just created.
  4. Repeat this for every new project you add.

Repeat for More Projects

Just repeat Steps 4–6 for each new portfolio item. Each one becomes a sub-page of your Portfolio index page and links back from the main layout.
