Hi! So far, I love the theme. I’m customizing it now. One question. you have 2 layers of navigation on the site… meaning from the home page, I want it taken to a photos page, then the links on those pages to go directly to the post. Now, from the photos page, you click on a link – which is a category, and then you are taken to another page with posts, and you have to click on one of those posts to get to the end portfolio.
Is it an easy fix? Removing a simple line of code?
So what you need is the blog on the front page and not a static page. I don’t give support through the comments here so I’ll email you directly
I see that there are about 110 downloads on this theme…is there any customizable functions so that if i were to purchase, it would not look like the other 110 out there?
Hello there,
there’s a lot you can do through css if you feel comfortable with code. If not you can always hire us for the project
We need to add Zoomify to your template. Do you do this, and, if so, what do you charge?
Nancy, this is funny as I had the same request a minute ago by email from someone else.
Have you seen this wordpress plugin already?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-zoomify/
it seems that it’s just a matter of what plugin to use. So instead of the recomended lightbox you install this one
Perhaps that may be of help
Hi,
Your template looks really really beautiful ! Probably the one I’ve been looking for for so long. But before purchasing it I’m wondering how far it is customizable.
For example can I translate all the labels in my language (I’m french).
In the live preview, when I click on ‘Photos’ there are 3 portfolios displayed. What happens if I have 5 or 10 portfolios?
Same question for the page that displays the photo sets, can I have more than 3 photo sets on a page?
Is the number of photos in a photo set limited? Can I more than 15 photos displayed on the same page?
Is the size (in pixels) of pictures limited? Or can I chose the size of the pictures I wan’t to show on my website?
Thanks for your answers,
Freddy
The “Photos” page pulls the categories you have created. I just created 3 so if you create more then they will appear as well.
Same applies for the actual photo sets. Those are simply WordPress posts. How many should appear is managed from the admin backend. and finally the actual photos., you can have as many or as few as you want
You have full control over the image sizes from the admin area. The gallery thumbnails use the thumbnail size you set under your media settings and the enlarged size is the full sized image you originally upload. WordPress will handle the resizing. There may be a slight css adjustment needed if you use a different thumbnail size than the one I used but that’s not a big thing and I can help you out when the time comes.
I can’t remember if the theme is localized (ready for translation) but then again I can help you there as well. Simply contact me over my TF profile when you have purchased the theme and we can talk more.
Hope this helps.

within the set? Yes
Support over email please and not comments here, thanks
Hi there,
What shopping cart plug-ins work best with this theme?
Regards,
Jill
We have not tested any so I would not know the answer to that
Sarah is excellent, prompt service and an excellent product. I would not hesitate to recommend.
I just purchased your template for my photography business. I am tired of all the other photography websites that all look and sound alike. I am not well versed in using wordpress and I don’t know much at all about code. Where do I start and how do I get it moving along?
Thank you in advance!
Kay
If you are not familiar with WordPress then you may like to beginn with some of the many beginners tutorials on the web. A quick Google search will take you there but these links will get you started:
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Lessons
http://elitebydesign.com/beginner-wordpress-help-guide/
Then for setting up the theme please make sure you read the help documentation carefully
Hope this helps
I am working on a photography website and have never done this before. I absolutly love this theme and have looked for a while at what seems all the other themes. The only thing i could ask is is there a capability of haveing a link or page added for a blog. Like i said i have no idea of what i am doing but am slowly learning how to get these things figured out. Any help would be wonderful. Thank you so much.
Matt
Matt, the theme comes as is without a Blog because the original idea was to create a theme for people that did not want a typical blog. I may create an alternative version of theme in the future that will contain a blog but as I am very busy at the moment with the eCommerce theme series this won’t happen any time soon.
Is it possible to change the background color? would I do this via CSS?
THANKS!
Yes, you can!
Thanks for the quick response!
Welcome
I am very interested in this theme. Its almost perfect because i am not interested in blog etc..just want a way to shocase photos and pricing…however, is it posible to add music to this theme with a small button to turn on/off…i think it would enhance the experiance for customers…
I’m sure there’s plugin out there that you could use for that.
Hi
How easy to resize the featured image on the frontpage? I want it a little bigger. ON your sample you have only 3 sets for each category, what if I have more than 3, how is this being shown? through pagination or something else?
thanks
pinoyown
You can have any size you want but you need to remember to adjust a few values in the css and js script (I can help you with that when the time comes). Also the frame around the image will need to be adjusted to fit a larger image.
Regarding the sets. You can have as many as you want. Pagination will allow you to navigate through them. How many display per category page is defined from your WordPress settings.
Hope this helps
I am looking for a theme for various members of my very non-technical family members to put up their photo collections. Ideally they would only need to use Windows LiveWriter – or other desktop blogging software – to place posts up. I would be doing all the Admin functions.
Thanks!

I was wondering, can a blog be added to your page through WP plugins at all? I really, REALLY like this one, but am new to WP, so I don’t know if I can add a blog to a theme that doesn’t have one already. Can this be done? Thanks!
Sorry, no. This theme was created specifically for people that did not want the typical bog
Have you tested this theme with any shopping cart plug-in as of yet? Do you know if it can work with one? Are you available for hire to incorporate one into it? If so, how much would you charge?
No, sorry. Also I am not available for hire so if you need any sort of assistance and you you know of no other developer let me know as I can forward you to someone.
