I realize that title is a bit vague, so let me try and clear it up.
I have a project that will be built in WordPress and features a somewhat complex portfolio. Each piece in the portfolio will be a WordPress post. Easy. Then, within each post, there will be thumbnails for each project. However, I want these thumbnails to be broken up into categories. So, one project may have 10 total thumbnails. Four of those should be in displayed in a box called “Digital” and the remaining six in a box called “Film”.
Any ideas how I can separate thumbnails? I am comfortable using WordPress native functionality, or a plugin.
It looks like the best way to do this is using a custom field in the Media Library. Each uploaded item will be categorized using the Custom Field. Then when each post is called, the items in the gallery can be called by their custom field.
