f8, which is a technical term referring the lens aperture setting on a camera, is theme long in the making. A little over five years ago, I began the arduous task of trying to find a way to present my photos to the world online. I primarily wanted two things: A portfolio section and a blog section built into one CMS. What I didn’t know at the time, is that it would take me five years to figure out. After researching literally hundreds of options including Flash powered portfolios (a big no-no in today’s mobile world), to countless bulky CMS’s that just didn’t cut it, I decided on using Wordpress. It was well worth the wait.

    • I don’t think it is compatible to to 2.9.1.

      I have been trying to get the slideshow, in F8 light, to work for the 5th time. I am ready to find a whole different WP template.

      • go to your posts, click edit, look at the bottom right of the edit page- this is where you must select a thumbnail image for each post. click select thumbnail, it will navigate you to the image editing page. where you must find the button and click to select it as thumbnail

  3. How do you change the right corner with your email and phone? I don’t want the default 1800 and fake email.

  4. I’m trying to use the F8 Lite template but the slideshow is not working. I’ve already added photos into the Slideshow folder. It only shows the one titled image1.jpg.

    Please assist.

    • Ok i worked out 1 thing. I have to have multiple posts in order for it to work. Initially i only had one post.

      Now when i added a second post the slideshow is working between image1 and image2 in the slideshow folder.

      Can i keep the slideshow running all the time?

  5. Hey guys, just wondering if this version also supports video?. Most of my portfolio is video content and I’d like to use one of your templates. Cheers-.

  6. How do I change the page links to actual pages. Next to the home link tab I have three page tabs that say “link” how do I make them say what I want?
