I'm currently using the Workality theme by Northeme on my (main) site, but I found Salient more pleasing to the eye and with some cooler features, so I purchased it and have almost finished setting it up to my likings.
I have one issue though which is a really cool feature in Workality.
The ability to have a custom post page.
What I specifically want to do is split my portfolio into 2 pages - one for my professional work and one for my personal work. Easy enough in Salient - in a way. I set up a new page to use the portfolio template and selected which categories should apply to each page, and that works like a charm.
What doesn't work is the permalinks. If I click on Personal Work, I see my personal works and the menu item in the navigation bar highlighted correctly on Personal Work. If I click any project, the menu item in the navigation switches to Portfolio, which is incorrect.
Also if I browse through alle the Portfolio projects using the top right arrow navigation, it jumps between the 2 portfolio pages I've set up at the end of the line, which it shouldn't do. It should stop when there are no more items to display under the Personal Work page.
I know the reason for this is because all of my stuff is collected under one admin tab called Portfolio, and that's where a custom post page option would come in handy, just like you can do in Workality.
Please see these 2 images for reference or visit the page.
What happens is the Portfolio projects I apply to the Personal Work page gets a permalink like this .../portfolio/project-name/ where it should be like this .../personal-work/project-name/
Is a custom post page currently in development? If not here's +1 for that to happen.
Alternatively, is there something I can do to make the navigation menu/permalinks work correctly when I split my portfolio up to separate pages like this?
An extra cool feature of having a custom post page option would be the ability to have one portfolio page be in a regular style, and the other in masonry style. Then you could customize the site even more, that would be really great. Then I could show of my personal work in a masonry style and my professional work in a standard style.
Unfortunately this would require some custom development. If you really need this modification done you could head on over to microlancer which is a service from Envato that offers paid WordPress customizations. I'm sure a developer on there would be able to wrap this up for you :)
First off I'd like to say this is a badass theme.
