# Avada theme Portfolio post type conflict

Since Avada registers its own Portfolio post type and taxonomies, it is conflicting with our Portfolio post type. When Avada Core is installed, you will not longer see the Categories menu item:

1. Disable Portfolio post type registered by Avada plugin
2. Disable Portfolio post type registered by Visual Portfolio plugin
3. Use both portfolio post types

## Disable Avada Portfolio

Open **Avada → Options → Advanced → Post Types** and turn off the **Avada Portfolio** option:

You will now see the **Categories** link in the **Visual Portfolio** menu:

Open **Visual Portfolio → Settings → General** and turn off the **Register Portfolio Post Type** option:

All the portfolio post links will be removed from the **Visual Portfolio** menu:

You can still use both portfolio post types, but there is a little conflict – Categories of Visual Portfolio post type will be placed in Avada’s Portfolio menu:
