Dusting Off My Bootstrap Freelancer Theme

I initially thought my Bootstrap Freelancer theme was totally broken, but after digging in, it turned out to be just a few missing pieces rather than anything catastrophic.

First up was a limitation where posts and projects could only display tags but not categories. Pretty basic oversight on my part! The fix was straightforward though - I just introduced another loop before the tags section to iterate through the content categories. I used the same approach as the tags implementation but went with a different Bootstrap color for the pills to visually distinguish them.

Another annoying issue was that when you clicked to view all categories or tags, you’d get these sad-looking pages with broken hero images. I could have just made templates for these sections, but after thinking about it, I realized that wasn’t quite right for the theme’s aesthetic. Instead, I’ve added examples in the demo site showing how to create proper tag and category pages with detailed descriptions and hero images - which honestly looks way better and fits the overall vibe of the theme.

All these tweaks are now live in version 1.1.0 on GitHub. Not a huge update, but definitely makes the theme more usable!
