WordPress Portfolio: the free AIFORYA plugin

Turn your work into a professional, elegant portfolio.

AIFORYA Portfolio organizes your projects, images and galleries, lets you choose from 8 visual templates, and displays it all with a simple shortcode. It even includes a code-protected client proofing gallery. All local, with no configuration, no external service and no API key - and free, with no time limit.

• Free and complete: published on WordPress.org, no crippled features.
• Local: the core of the plugin makes no network calls, anonymized stats with no tracking cookie.
• No dependencies: built-in lightbox, 8 ready-to-use templates, no-code customization.

Why a dedicated portfolio rather than a simple gallery?

An image gallery shows photos; a portfolio tells the story of projects. The difference is decisive for a photographer, a designer, an agency or a craftsperson: a prospect doesn't buy a nice image, they buy proof that you can solve their problem. That's why AIFORYA Portfolio structures each project as Challenge / Solution / Result and offers 8 distinct visual identities, from editorial minimalism to immersive narrative scroll.

And because the work doesn't stop at publication, the plugin includes client proofing: share a protected link, let your client tick the selected images, and receive their selection by email. A local and free alternative to paid proofing services, without sending your images to a third-party server.

What the plugin does

• Projects and galleries - create projects, add images and videos from the WordPress media library, reorder them, and write titles, alt text and captions.
• 8 visual templates - Editorial Minimalist, Full-Screen Immersive, Magazine, Brutalist, Cinema, Pinterest Masonry, Classic Studio, Narrative Scroll. Each with its own identity.
• No-code customization - change colors, fonts and spacing via CSS variables or from the WordPress Customizer.
• Project arc - structure a project into three phases (The Challenge / The Solution / The Result) for a narrative feel.
• Shortcodes - [aiforya_portfolio] (grid), [aiforya_portfolio_project id="42"] (a project's page), [aiforya_portfolio_proofing] (client proofing). Compatible with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Bricks and more.
• Client proofing - generate a code-protected link: the client ticks the selected images, comments and confirms their selection, and you're notified by email.
• Built-in lightbox - zoom, keyboard and touch navigation, with no external dependencies.
• Anonymized statistics - view counts and most-viewed projects, via an anonymized session identifier (SHA256), with no tracking cookie. Configurable retention, automatic purge.
