Capri – Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme Overview
Capri is a portfolio theme from Select-Themes, maintained across more than a decade of releases. What it sells is control over presentation: the number of ways a project list, a project page and a header can be arranged is unusually large.
The vendor’s Select Core plugin carries the custom post types and the shortcode library, while the theme’s own Select Slider handles full screen image and video slides with parallax. Page editing runs through WPBakery Page Builder, included alongside LayerSlider.
Although the title says creative portfolio, the file a buyer receives still describes itself as a multi purpose theme, and the demos stretch to an agency site with a small shop.

Who Capri – Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
This suits a Canadian design or photography practice that wants a dense, image led site and will spend time in the options panel. Studios with a deep back catalogue gain most, because the range of grid, masonry and slider arrangements lets different kinds of project be shown differently.
It is less suitable for an owner who wants the block editor, since the marketplace record declares no block editor optimization and pages are built from WPBakery shortcodes. It offers no studio administration: no proofing galleries, no client area that gates downloads, no invoicing and no job tracking.
Important Notes About Capri – Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme
One discrepancy matters before planning content. The feature list still advertises Instagram and Twitter feed widgets, yet the February 2026 release notes record both companion plugins being removed because those platforms changed their interfaces. Treat social feeds as absent and arrange them separately if wanted. Select Core is the other dependency: deactivating it takes the shortcodes and the project post type with it, so it is effectively part of the theme.
WPBakery Page Builder and LayerSlider arrive inside the download but are independent commercial products with their own release schedules and vendors, so ask what support the bundle conveys. The three published version figures agree at 3.5, a good sign for a theme first released in 2015. The vendor states plainly that its demo photography cannot be reused. For a portfolio containing commissioned work, permission to publish and to credit is the owner’s responsibility, as is a privacy policy covering whatever an enquiry form collects. AppiAppi does not provide legal advice on either point.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
The customer buys the licence; AppiAppi handles the build. Installation, Select Core activation and a demo import give a working frame, after which demo content is cleared and replaced with the customer’s projects, case studies, services and studio pages. We settle on one portfolio list and one project template and apply them consistently rather than using every variant, which keeps the site legible and quicker to maintain.
Ongoing management covers updates, backups and uptime checks, AI-assisted SEO and content assistance, adding new projects, and tuning images so large galleries load sensibly. Transitions are reduced where they obstruct keyboard navigation, and form enquiries are answered with the customer in line with the subscription plan.
