does anyone know how to change the portfolio slugs (eg: portfolio_item) to say something else? I’m using the functionality to display other items by category, so I’m not wanting the word “portfolio” to be displayed on the front end of the site.

Thanks for your help!

You can do that but you will need to tweak some code, basically only changing the labels of your Custom Post Type “Portfolio” to whatever you want (in functions.php) should do the job.
Edit your functions.php and around line 150 you will see where the Custom Post Type is declared:

register_post_type(

'portfolio',

array(

'labels' => array(

'name' => 'Portfolio',

'singular_name' => 'Portfolio'

),

'public' => true,

'has_archive' => true,

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio_item'),

'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail'),

'can_export' => true,

'show_in_nav_menus' => true,

)

);

In the “labels” array change the “name” and “singular_name” to whatever you want.
If you want to change the slug as well (portfolio_item) you can do that too, but then you need to search through all theme files and replace that “portfolio_item” with your new slug. Make sure you backup your files before doing any changes!
Good luck!

I am doing the same customisation and I can’t see that the slug name is used somewhere in the files except some css style. But If i change the ‘portfolio_item’ slug, the URL changes but the posts aren’t showing then.

I also want to change the ‘porfolio_category’ in the URLs with product_category.

Can you please give me a hint on this?

Thanks!

You need to also flush your rewrite rules, it is shown here:

The category slug is also in the functions.php

Still having troubles with the category slug though but it’s not a problem to have it with portfolio_category

Thanks again. Great theme !
