Skalven includes a dedicated Projects system designed for case studies, portfolio items, and creative work highlights. Each project entry uses the projects tag and the Post Projects template, which unlocks the custom 3:2 layout, project button, and showcase presentation. Projects rely heavily on precise image formatting and the proper use of the feature image caption and feature image link fields to generate the “View Project” button.

​
1. Creating the Projects Page

  1. Go to Tags → New Tag.
  2. Set the Name to Projects.
  3. Set the Slug to projects.
  4. Click Save.
All posts using the projects tag will now appear automatically at: site.com/projects

​
2. Publishing a Project Post

    (Do not include products, podcasts, or readings tags.)
  2. In Post Settings → Template, select Post Project.
  3. Upload a 3:2 horizontal feature image.
  4. In Feature Image Caption, enter your button text
    Example: View Project
  5. Click the Alt badge on the feature image and add the project URL.
  6. Publish the post.

​
3. Feature Image Requirements

Projects use a wide horizontal (3:2) layout that stretches across the screen.
To ensure perfect alignment and clean composition:

​
Required aspect ratio: 3:2 (horizontal)

Examples:
  • 1500×1000
  • 1800×1200

​
Use high-quality landscape images

  • Avoid vertical or square images
  • Avoid transparent PNGs

Skalven uses the Ghost Feature Image Caption and Feature Image Alt fields to generate a customizable button beneath the project image.
  1. Enter the project button name in Feature Image Caption.
Project Post Button
  1. Click the Alt badge and add the project button URL in Feature Image Alt.
