You may have started your site with one of the pre-built TWU Portfolio Themes<\/a> but discover you do not need the Artifact structure, its organizing categories, and prefer to use normal blog features for your portfolio. Here we outline how to make that happen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Reset the Front Page<\/h2>\n

The TWU Portfolio themes use a special page to represent the entry to your site that displays the Artifact content types. <\/p>\n

\"\"

The front page of the Inspire Theme uses a special template to display artifact content types.<\/p><\/div>\n

You will first revert a setting to the more typical recent blog items first display. In your WordPress Dashboard, under Settings<\/strong> go to Reading<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Change the option under Reading Settings for Your Home Page Display<\/strong>s to be Your Latest Posts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Deactivate the TWU Portfolio Helper Plugin<\/h2>\n

Since you will not be using the TWU Artifact structures, we can remove it’s features. In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Plugins<\/strong>. Scroll down until you see the entry for TWU Portfolio Helper<\/strong> and click Deactivate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You will notice the left side Dashboard menu item for TWU Portfolios has vanished. It’s just turned off, should you change your mind, everything will return if you activate the same plugin.<\/p>\n

You may see a notice that that plugin is needed. Ignore this, it will go away in the next step.<\/p>\n

3. Switch the Theme<\/h2>\n

The TWU Portfolio themes are built upon general WordPress themes. If you like the look of your site, you should switch to the general version of the theme.<\/p>\n
