f8 is a unique theme for Wordpress that can transform your Web site or blog into a fully functioning photography or multimedia portfolio Web site. SEO optimized, iPhone compatible, 100% customizable options page, grid-based css, built-in Galleria support, slideshow-enabled, built-in multimedia support, auto or manual thumbnail control, Gravatars, plus much, much more. All colors, fonts, front page categories, contact info, slideshow height and other options can be managed on the f8 theme options page. There is no need to edit theme code, unless you want to customize f8.

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.

    @Niftysmith – you can easily change colors on the theme options page in wordpress. There is no need to edit code or know css.

    How do I change the menu, so that the pages I create is on the menu instead of the 3 dead “Link”-buttons? Thanks!

    My F8 is broken.
    I bought it awhile back, its has been just fine, then today it broke.
    So, I bought a 3 month subscription to buy it again, and now it is broken worse.

    Will there be a version to download that looks like the F8 on your demo page?

    • Thad says:

      Tom

      What happened to make it “break?” Regardless, the demo uses the F8-Child theme that is available for members for download in the members only area. It is a child theme for Modularity, so you need to make sure you have Modularity installed, but not activated, in your theme directory. Activate F8-Child.

  13. I’m a wordpress rookie. Are these easy to install or implement?

  14. Randy says:

    Hi F8 looks looks amazing. However, I’ve noticed that its examples of you might use a vertical photo. The way everything is displayed and laid out really only works if you want to display horizontal.

  15. Yoya says:

    what’s the difference between F8 and F8 lite, the free version?

  16. I know that this theme is for wp, but is it possible to implement it into drupal cms? Is there an option…

  17. Toni says:

    Hi,
    As a photographer wanting to display (and sell) my photos on the web I was wondering whether this template can adapt/accommodate photos other than the standard 3:2 ratio? Most of my photos are 3:1 ratio (or vertical opposite)…

    Many thanks,
    Toni

  18. Valerie Williams says:

    Two questions:

    1) Is it possible to make the featured box on the front page automatically scroll? Or is it only able to be by user click?

    2) Is it possible to easily reduce the size of that featured box just a little, so that the user can see a little of what’s below?

    Hi Thad,

    Am looking at buying this theme. Need to check with you, does the top navigation bar support nested categories? In other words, if my site has nested categories, does the top navigation bar display them correctly in cascaded menus?

    Thank you!

    Is F8-Lite compatible with 2.7.1? I don’t see the theme options page?

  21. esther says:

    I’m using F8 lite right now but would like to use a design that I can put ads into easily, is this better for putting advertisements? I’m not very good at css and will need some guidance.

    Very very nice and so cut

  27. Hi there, just considering setting up a blog on my site at the moment, from the information I have sourced wordpress seems the perfect blog type with the numerous smooth looking themes. Would it be true to say that for a photography blog wordpress is the best on the market?

    Cheers
    Geoff

  31. MJB says:

    I’m using F8 Lite.
    Why can’t I change the title tags on the front page to or title tags, but have the style remain the same as the default (bold, underlined)?

    No matter what I do it won’t work correctly. The fonts always get messed up. I’ve tried changing every which way. There must be something I’m missing. Any help?

      sorry, it made parts of this invisible b/c of html. here:

      I’m using F8 Lite.
      Why can’t I change the h6 title tags on the front page to h2 or h1 title tags, but have the style remain the same as the default (bold, underlined)?

      No matter what I do it won’t work correctly. The fonts always get messed up. I’ve tried changing h6 class=”archive-header” every which way. There must be something I’m missing. Any help?

    I came accross this article when searching google for wedding photography information for a blog article that I’m writing and although it’s not exactly what I was looking for, I found your article interesting and I’m going to have a go at implementing the F8 theme on my personal wordpress blog. Thanks.
