Second Portfolio page
Hi,
I’m trying to create a second portfolio/archive page on my website, and I need some guidance on how this should be set up within the theme.
The website is for an event venue called The Place by Digma Productions ( [Links visible only for registered users] ) At the moment, we have a portfolio/archive page called Events, where we showcase different events that have taken place at the venue.
I would now like to create a second, separate page called Studio, using the same layout/design and functionality as the existing Events portfolio page.
The idea is:
- Events → displays projects/events related to the venue’s event space.
- Studio → displays projects where different clients have used the venue’s studio facilities (photo/video productions, shoots, content creation, etc.).
Both pages should have the same visual structure as the existing portfolio page, but they should display different portfolio items.
I tried duplicating the existing portfolio/archive page, but this does not work as expected. Instead of duplicating the actual page layout and settings, the duplicated page seems to use a different template, so the original portfolio design is lost/broken.
What I would like to achieve is:
- Keep the existing Events portfolio/archive page as it is.
- Create a second archive/portfolio page called Studio, using exactly the same layout and design.
- When I create a new portfolio item, I need to be able to assign it either to Events or Studio.
- Items assigned to Events should appear only on the Events page.
- Items assigned to Studio should appear only on the Studio page.
- Ideally, both pages should use the same portfolio item template/design, while the two archive pages display different sets of projects.
Could you please explain the correct way to set this up with your theme?
Specifically, should I be using portfolio categories, taxonomies, custom post types, archive templates, or another feature of the theme?
And how can I create a second archive page that uses the exact same design as the existing portfolio archive, but displays only the portfolio items assigned to the Studio category?
If possible, please provide step-by-step instructions for the correct setup.
Thank you!

Hi,
Please create two portfolio categories: Events and Studio.
Then assign portfolio posts to appropriate categories.
And in your menu, add links to these two categories.
If you do not see portfolio categories in your Appearance -> Menus, ensure that it is enabled in the Screen Options.
Best regards
