Simple Portfolio Grid

A lightweight WordPress plugin that adds a "Projects" post type, a responsive portfolio grid shortcode, and a two-column single-project page (images on one side, text on the other).

Distributed and updated via this GitHub repository — no WordPress.org listing.

Features

• A "Projects" post type with title, content, featured image, and a gallery of extra images.
• A drag-to-reorder image picker built on the native WordPress media library.
• The [portfolio] shortcode renders a responsive grid of all projects, linking each to its own page. Use [portfolio columns="4"] to change the column count (default 3).
• Each project gets an automatic two-column page: images on one side, title/content on the other.
• Ships its own updater (bundled Plugin Update Checker) so installed sites get "Update Now" in wp-admin whenever a new tag is pushed here — no manual re-upload.

Installation

1. Download the latest release zip from the Releases page, or clone this repo.
2. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/simple-portfolio-grid/ (or zip it and use Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in wp-admin).
3. Activate it through the Plugins screen.
4. Add projects from the new "Projects" menu, then place [portfolio] on any page.

Shipping an update

1. Make your code changes.
2. Bump Version: in simple-portfolio-grid.php.
3. Commit, then tag and push:

   git tag vX.Y.Z
   git push origin main --tags

4. Every site with the plugin installed will see "Update Now" in wp-admin within about 12 hours (or immediately if someone clicks "Check for updates" on the Plugins page).

Customization

• Copy single-spg_project.php into your active theme to override the single-project template.
• The "Back to Featured Works" link looks for a page with the slug featuredworks, falling back to the homepage. Change the destination with the spg_back_link_url filter.
