Display Portfolio OR Projects in a grid view. Also work with Gutenberg shortcode block.
Security History
What It Does
Portfolio and Projects registers a custom post type for portfolio entries and renders them in a responsive grid layout on the front end of a WordPress site. It also works as a Gutenberg shortcode block, so editors can drop a portfolio grid into any page or post without touching code. The focus is on a simple grid display rather than advanced filtering or lightbox features.
Who It's For
This plugin fits small studios and solo creatives, including freelance designers, photographers, architects, and interior designers, who want a quick way to publish a project gallery without configuring a heavier portfolio plugin. It is best suited to sites that only need a single grid view and are comfortable keeping updates light.
Who Should Skip It
If you need filtering by category or tag, AJAX pagination, masonry layouts, client testimonial integrations, or detailed client proofing workflows, you should skip this plugin and look at a fuller portfolio solution. Sites expecting responsive vendor support or active community troubleshooting should also look elsewhere given the empty support thread history.
The Bottom Line
Portfolio and Projects delivers a focused, recently updated grid solution with strong user ratings and full compatibility with the latest WordPress release, scoring 75.03/100 overall. The main reservations are the small install base of 1,000 and the complete absence of support threads, which leaves questions about how the author responds when problems arise. It is a sensible pick for users who want a minimal, working portfolio grid today, but anyone needing richer features or reliable support infrastructure should weigh the alternatives listed above.
