I’m releasing a new WordPress theme, but this time it is different from the other themes I’ve produced. It’s a theme specifically built for photoblogging.
I always wanted to create this one, so here it is. This theme is suitable for those who have huge interest in photography but have no specific template to showcase their high quality photos with wide dimension. These are what fotolog theme has to offer:
- Built for WP 2.3+ onwards. WP 2.5+ compatible
- Built in Gravatar support for comments
- 1 column, showing 1 photo for each page
- Maximum 800px width photo on main page (can be modified)
- Previous photo and next photo link; on top and bottom of each page – for better/faster navigation
- Custom Archive template, showing ALL photos (thumbnail) on one page
- Custom Archive template also can show thumbnails from specific categories and months and search result
- Easy to customize CSS, there are comments to help you out
Custom Archive template
This theme is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict + CSS2.1 and has been tested on IE6, Firefox 3, Opera 9.5 and Safari 3 for Windows.

Quick FAQ
I want to have wider layout for my huge photos
Open style.css, look for #wrap, increase or reduce the width there.
Sometimes, I have a smaller photo. I want it to appear at the center.
Open style.css, look for .photo. Add this to it properties: text-align:center;. All your text down the photo will also be aligned to center.
I want to change the dimension of the thumbnail in the archive page
Open style.css, look for img.thumbarch, change the height. Don’t set a width there so you can maintain its aspect ratio, and so the layout didn’t messed up.
License and Donation
You can do whatever you want with the theme as long as the credit is left intact in the footer. If you like my work and would like to consider some donation, you can do so.

i love your theme! i need help with two things. one, when i click on a photo in my post it opens up on a white page. how can i change the color of that page? two, how can i center that photo?? thanks.
@KLL : that’s because you linked that image to its original source. no wat you can change the white background. hmm why dont you read the instruction given. and above FAQ to center the image.
need ur help…
please look at my photoblog, http://photo.gmurali.com/
im using ur theme…
the problem is..at the home, there is “<<PREVIOUS PHOTO” link…but it is dead link…
my question is…
how to change it?
@gmurali:
The problem is due to your permalink setting. Apparently this theme doesn’t support pretty permalink setting, only the ugly default permalink. I forgot to test it with pretty permalink.
You can change it, go to setting> permalinks. use the default one. You might need to edit your .htaccess file.
This is my fault. I’ll fix it maybe in the next version. thanks for the report
i wil try to fix it myself…
thank u for the theme
ok..i solve it…
i made it my way..:p
very good.I translate this theme for persians
Hi,
This is an awesome theme and I liked it very much… I’m having a problem, though. My archive pages show only one image at a time for any category or month (although there is the previous page and next page links). Somebody please help me figure out what is the problem.
Any help much appreciated…
Sorry to bother you guys…
I figured it out after a few minutes of tinkering with the settings…
Anyone having the above problem… Go to the Settings >> Reading >> Change the blog posts to show at a time to a value higher than 1… (the value decides the number of thumbnails u see per page of archive categories or months)
The Theme is great, thanks. My Photoblog is http://www.fotografieren-blog.de
Brilliant!
Hi there, awesome theme, i use it for my photoblog, but in the archive, there are no thumbnails to see. i have no idea to change!
I enjoyed this theme very much.
Millions thanks Gad!
All of your themes are great!! Thanks a lot.
Could you tell me if it is possible to change the word for the page: Archives? could i use the word gallery? or maybe the CSS will broke?
thanks about all your responses,
best regards!
@David Navarrot
Thanks! Yes, it is possible. Just use any title when creating a page for the archive. Then follow the instructions given.
I know the theme is build for 1 picture a page, but can this be changed to the “normal” blog style? I really like how the comments and stuff are made, but dont really like the way how this theme shows 1 picture.
I would like to change the layout colors to black. Is there any simple suggestion for me to do that?
Seems like you’ve been busy lately.
I just found out the simple css to change the background color, silly me.
But thanks after all.
Hi, from today I’m using your theme in my photoblog. I’ve made some little changes but it’s exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks and regards

The PSD of header doesn’t exist ?
lambat terbaca entri ni.. neway, sangat cantik.. dan ko mmg sangat2 berbakat… syabas bro
I like this this a lot. But I just can’t wait you fix the errors. So, good bye fotolog..
Nice theme. Question…
Is it possible to remove the blog title (text version) in the header? I want to replace it with a graphic logo.
I have no idea which PHP codex is responsible for the blog title.
Thanking you in advance.
Greetings – This looks really well done. I have a large backlog of blogged images using the YAPB plugin. Can I direct this theme to use my YAPB folder and thumbs?
hola necesita nueva fotolog claro

I love the theme, great work!!!
I have a couple of questions, one is after how many thumbnails does the archive page go onto ‘page 2′ or is the theme programmed so the thumbnails will go on the same page regardless of how many posts?
secondly, when clicking on a category or a month it only displays one thumbnail at a time, is there a setting so they just show up all together like the archive page?
tnx
the more and more I use this theme the more I love it! great work!
the themes is really cool! i luv it..but it have da probelm with achieve.. it doents have on mypage.. how to make it?? i hope any1 can help me plss!!

Hi Flisterz,
This is an awesome theme so thanks! I’m using at my photoblog http://www.lindseyandalex.co.uk/photoblog.
Did you ever get round to fixing it for pretty permalinks? Or can you tell me which bit of the theme stops them working?
Thanks
Alex
I have the same problem, No image shown on Full archive. Why?
How to fix it? Please Reply…
@#rman
You should read this first…
http://www.flisterz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/1_posting_and_custom_field_instruction.jpg
That’s why no picture display on archive.
Hi! Nice theme, but can’t download the zip file. The link just land me on http://www.flisterz.com/
Great PhotoBlog Theme, Good free theme, Thanks for share!
fuck yo0u!!!!!
what´s this fucking place???
Thanks for the theme…love it!
I love this theme but I can’t live without pretty permalinks! When can you fix???
Hi there
Can I have all the post displayed on the home page reather then just one last one?
I’m sure this question has been covered elsewhere and I’m just overseeing it, but how do I make the thumbnails appear in the archive?
Nevermind! With just a little further digging I found the answer to my question. Thanks for the great theme!
Thanks a lot for this theme ! I have changed some things in WP to fix the problem with permalinks.
Here the steps :
Your .htaccess file should looks like this :
##########################
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?paged=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^page*
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
##########################
And in file /wp-includes/link-template.php, replace line 1302 :
if ( !$wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() || is_admin() ) {
BY
if ( !$wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() || is_admin() || isset($_GET['paged']) || $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']==’/’ ) {
Don’t forget to check if pretty permalink is active in your config.
