In your example pages you show two Portfolio versions. I am trying to figure out out how to set up the first example. But I can't seem to get the images (thumbs) to show. Also, can I set up static pages to link to from the portfolio with out the the side bar navigation and or post. I am sure you have answered this somewhere before but I am new at WP being this is my first attempt at setting one up using your theme. Progress so far can be seen here. http://dink.circumerro.com/ Your help is greatly appreciated.

adminyes, I have answered these questions before, but not in the forum, so worth answering again, since it's possible to search here...
To set up portfolio1 and portfolio2 you need to specify the category as a custom field after selecting the template. The posts in that category got to have default images set for thumbnail images to show (add larger images so they will be automatically resized to the thumbnail size). The images for portfolio2 got to be at least 528px wide (and at least 848px if you want the feature size images to show in the single page).
You can create custom single.php templates, there is an example portfolio single template with the theme (without sidebar). Here's more info on custom single templates. If you want the portfolio posts to link to static pages you can use this plugin.

MemberOkay, I am an idiot I guess! Any way I set up the WP Theme here http://www.mindplant.com/bf. I would like when you are in the "BRANDS" for it to keep the sidebar navigation within the brands posts and not show in the Blog Post'. I would like for all post within Blog to stay there. Please look at my DEMO and tell me what I am doing wrong. Can I keep these seperate? Brands is to work like a portfolio.

adminNot sure I understand...are you referring to the recent posts widget? That widget show all recent posts no matter where they are. You can however use a plugin like widget logic to hide this widget from a category. or you can create a custom single.php with a static sidebar (or no sidebar).

Memberquestion on this as I'm using the portfolio template to display a my video category If there is no image in the post but instead a video embed code is it possible to use a thumbnail image in a custom field so that a thumbnail wont appear in the actual post area? What would be the best way to go about this?
