Overview
This plugin registers a custom post type for portfolio items. It also registers separate portfolio taxonomies for tags and categories. If featured images are selected, they will be displayed in the column view.
This plugin doesn’t change how portfolio items are displayed in your theme. You’ll need to add templates for archive-portfolio.php and single-portfolio.php if you want to customize the display of portfolio items.

I wanted a portfolio that was sortable into catgories, could display multiple images and was customizable. I tried a bunch of others and most were just awful. This one fits the bill perfectly. I am happy. Thanks!
