Focal point selector tool for photos

Posted on 15th February 2022 by Seth Tupper

Please add the ability to select a focal point for photos so that preview images show the correct part of the image. For example, without a focal point selector tool, the preview image might crop a person's head out of a photo.

Analytics

Shape of social media icons

Posted on 11th June 2020 by Mark Swain

Because my brand uses square icons exclusively, could there be an option to change the shape of the social media icons (all themes have circular icons)?

Place subscribe button on main page vs. in about side menu

Posted on 21st May 2020 by deleted-user-57474 deleted-user-57474

While I love the clean look and layout of a theme like Square (the one I use), it would be great if visitors could see the Subscribe button somewhere on the main home page. Maybe in the footer? They already see the social icons at the top. I've had visitors tell me they could not find the Subscribe button as it is currently 'hidden' in the hamburger side profile nav menu.

Comment Block for a page, instead of an article

Posted on 29th April 2020 by Ahfaz ur Rahman

So my request is to create a comments page on which comments appear directly. Let me explain what i mean. At the moment what one would have to do is to first make a page called "Comments". On that page one would have to add an article. Let's call that article "click here to leave your comments". then the readers would have to click this and they will come to the page where they can make the actual comment. This is rather a roundabout way of doing things. There should be a possibility to make comments directly on a comments page.

Preview Page

Posted on 10th April 2020 by John Walker

I think the addition of a preview page button in the page editor would be super helpful. While building certain pages I wanted to see what a change would look like before hitting save. It just removes some extra steps to see what I want and make decisions easier because I can click a button to see them without saving.

Customize weekly email to subscribers

Posted on 26th March 2020 by Richard Holeton

It would be great to have some control over the weekly subscriber update email, e.g. the subject line/headline and text of the email, and the order in which articles are shown, when one has multiple new articles. This could be done through an editable Preview of the subscriber message. Eventually, the frequency and/or timing of subscriber updates would be great to control, too.

"Anchor" pieces of content

Posted on 21st February 2020 by Lyka Ferry

For longer articles that reference other parts of the same content, the ability to put a link that transfers to the segment would be a great upgrade to UI.

Removing bio from the top of every page.

Posted on 11th February 2020 by Sarah Sharp

Currently my bio appears at the top of every page. I haven't found a way to change this but don't want this duplicate content on my site.

Change "From" field in email annoucements to subscribers

Posted on 9th January 2020 by Richard Holeton

Currently announcements to subscribers of new articles are from "noreply@journoportfolio.com." Although the "reply-to" field is from me and the "subject" field has my name in it, the "noreply" signals that it might be spam or spamlike. Anecdotally some recipients reflexively trash messages from "noreply," and I suspect some spam filters may do likewise. I suggest that "From" be from the portfolio creator, our name simply (as in "reply-to"), and the subject could perhaps be "New addition to my portfolio". Thanks for considering.

Lock the text editing bar

It will be great to lock the editing bar (where you can choose font size etc) so that it can be accessible no matter where you are on the editing page! Thank you!

E-Commerce

Posted on 30th June 2019 by Henry Cheal

I am an upcoming author here and I specifically use this website to showcase blogs and content to my customers but to me (and possibly many others out there), but is it possible to have an e-commerce that allows us authors to sell our books and other related content here. Thanks very much for your time if you read this.

User directory additions

Posted on 29th June 2019 by Erin Martin

Can we add more descriptors to the user directory? In the first menu, I'd love to see options for creative writing, especially to specify fiction/poetry/essayist. In the "specialism" section, there's nothing specifically for literature (like writers who do book reviews, author interviews, etc.) There's culture and art, but not books. Also, there's no option for criticism/reviews.

Back to Top Feature

Posted on 18th June 2019 by Peri Watson

What I would love is a feature for users to go back to the top of a page once they've scrolled down, either on a computer or mobile device. Other than that, I'm really pleased with the website!

Search feature

Posted on 18th April 2019 by Mark Chesnut

The most useful thing I'd love to see is a search feature, which would allow visitors to search our portfolios by key word, topic, media outlet and maybe date. Currently, it's time consuming for people to wade through pages of posts to get to what they want. With the search feature, the portfolio site would be close to perfect!

Image editing

Posted on 2nd March 2019 by Neh Guk

Most of the images that get automatically uploaded with the articles end up in a diffrent framing, if they are not square, and as a result they may look quite strange. I’d love to have a small online editor that allowed me to at least reframe the images the way I want — and possibly add filters and small edits to make things look even greater!

Linking Images

Bulk Edit

Posted on 15th February 2019 by Jeremy Botter

Those of us who plan on archiving our entire career’s work need something to bulk/batch edit the tags, Publication, and blocks for multiple stories at once. Being forced to go in and edit each individual story is time consuming and exhausting. I love the service and hope you’ll consider adding this.

Galleries Expanded View Upgrade

Posted on 13th February 2019 by Matt Fitzgerald

I like the gallery presentation with thumbnails compared to the image slider. However the added functionality to hit previous/next (or a left/right arrow) when in the expanded view would be much more user-friendly than clicking off and onto another image each time. Thanks.

Make Text Extract field editable or at least linkable

Posted on 23rd October 2018 by Richard Holeton

It would be very useful to be able to edit, especially add links to, the Text Extract field. Alternatively, develop a 4th way to create Articles that has an editable text field (without also creating a blog).

Sub-pages/Menu Drop-downs

Posted on 15th October 2018 by Journo Portfolio Support

A couple of users have suggested or asked about adding sub-pages or a way to add pages as dropdowns in the portfolio navigation. Another related suggestion was to have multiple article blocks on a page automatically appear as a dropdown with the page 'Jumping' down to the block when clicked. We think these are good ideas and have begun investigating how they would work and how they can be implemented.

Portfolio PDF Export
