Present projects in a more flexible portfolio
WPZOOM Portfolio PRO is a WordPress portfolio plugin for displaying creative work in organized, responsive galleries. It is designed for photographers, designers, artists, freelancers, and agencies that need a practical way to present projects, images, and videos on a website.
The portfolio workflow starts with dedicated portfolio posts, where you can add titles, descriptions, featured images, categories, and tags. You can then publish those items in reusable layouts using the Portfolio block, shortcodes, or a page builder. This makes it possible to create a portfolio once and place it across pages or other supported content areas.
Build filterable project galleries
Visitors can filter portfolio items by category with smooth isotope animations, making it easier to explore different types of work. The plugin provides three layout options: a grid with overlay, a masonry layout with varied image heights, and a traditional columns layout.
Built-in lightbox support lets visitors open high-resolution images in an elegant popup without leaving the page. Thumbnail settings include portrait, cinema, square, and uncropped aspect ratios, giving you ways to match the gallery presentation to the content. Drag-and-drop reordering helps you arrange portfolio items independently of dates or menu order.
Portfolio galleries are responsive, so the presentation adapts for desktop, tablet, and mobile visitors. The plugin also supports displaying blog posts as a portfolio grid, which can be useful when your published articles are part of your professional work or project archive.
PRO tools for image and video work
Portfolio PRO adds video portfolio support alongside image projects. You can showcase videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted MP4 files. Video lightbox support allows visitors to watch portfolio videos in a popup, while video backgrounds on hover add motion to portfolio items using Giphy or self-hosted videos.
For client-facing photography workflows, the photo proofing feature lets you create private proofing galleries, share them through a secret link, and collect client photo selections for approval from the WordPress dashboard. This can help organize review work without mixing proofing galleries with a public portfolio.
Color customization provides control over overlay colors, text colors, and hover effects, allowing the portfolio to follow your visual identity more closely. PRO also includes priority support from the WPZOOM team for portfolio-related help.
Practical ways to use it
- Show completed design, photography, or art projects in category-filtered galleries.
- Combine still images and video projects in one portfolio presentation.
- Use private proofing galleries for client selections and approval.
- Embed reusable portfolio layouts in pages, posts, or supported page builders.
- Display selected blog posts in a portfolio-style grid.
Installation and setup
Install WPZOOM Portfolio PRO in your WordPress website and open its portfolio tools in the WordPress dashboard. Create portfolio items, add project information and media, organize them with categories or tags, and choose a layout. Publish the gallery with the Portfolio block, a shortcode, or a supported page builder. For video projects, add the relevant YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted MP4 source, then adjust lightbox, hover, and color settings to suit the page.
