AGB Web Designs Student Project Portfolio

Student Project Portfolio helps students turn coursework, capstones, research, and personal projects into a professional portfolio without manually designing every project entry. Features include:

• Unlimited project entries.
• A structured Projects post type.
• Built-in student-project fields with per-project visibility controls.
• Profile information for name, headline, introduction, contact details, LinkedIn, GitHub, resume, location, and profile photo.
• Visual, non-destructive profile-photo crop editor with display size and shape controls.
• Per-project field visibility toggles so individual projects can omit fields without deleting their values.
• Project Categories for organizing projects by discipline or type.
• Frontend project search that matches project titles and Technologies Used, plus category filtering.
• Complete Portfolio mode that automatically creates a portfolio page.
• Projects Only mode for use with Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder, or another page-building workflow.
• Student Project Grid Gutenberg block.
• [agbsp_student_projects] shortcode.
• [agbsp_student_portfolio] shortcode.
• Responsive project cards and a polished default portfolio style.
• Schema.org JSON-LD for the student profile and published projects.
• Semantic Person and CreativeWork markup in Complete Portfolio output.
• Public machine-readable portfolio REST endpoint, with email/phone exposure opt-in and off by default.
• Career Metadata for target roles, skills, institution, degree/program, graduation, and availability.
• Optional public career-profile REST feed for future recruiter/search integrations. Projects -> Settings -> General includes controls for portfolio mode, project-grid columns, Course visibility, and Technologies visibility. Projects -> Settings -> Career Metadata stores structured career information and controls the optional public career feed. Projects -> Settings -> About shows plugin version, AGB Web Designs branding, developer credit, update guidance, and core plugin details.
