Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/chatgpta67-blip/simple-portfolio-grid/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.
Readme github.com/chatgpta67-blip/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.
