f8

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.

  1. 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.

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

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

  4. 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

    • This would be a relatively easy modification to do, depending on your level of experience with CSS. If you sign up to our service, we can help out with the modification.

    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?

  6. 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!

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

  8. 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.

  9. The drop-down cats and pages in Modularity / F8 are not showing… How do I get them to show??

    Thanks

  12. 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

  13. This is very nice site you have. I enjoyed browsing through it. Your site has a lot of useful information. thank you for sharing your info.

  14. hmmm..nice theme, I will keep it on my blog !

  15. 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?

  16. 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.

  17. Can any one showcase their f8 transformed site? I am interested to see how dip you can go with this photographic-slide show template.
    Thanks

  18. I found this theme as a result of long calls, thank you

  19. Yah I cant find the Theme Options page.

    • Please download the latest version of Wordpress 2.8.1 and update your F8 and Modularity to the most recent version on your member page.

  20. ermm.. nice Theme … this is great.. thank you..

  21. No theme options with 2.8?

    I also need the upper nav to reflect pages. I want to buy this but I need to know A) it works with 2.8 and B) I can get the upper nav to reflect pages. – I need my clients to have a fully functioning CMS when it is all said and done.

    If I get full membership will these problems be resolved somehow?

  22. I am a new subscriber to GPP. I’ve paid up and my account profile displays my membership accordingly. However, I am still not able to download any of the themes. Each time that I click a theme to download it takes me to the theme page where I am asked to “join the club,” even though I am already logged in.

    Any support is much appreciated.

  23. WordPress rocks, and the myriad of themes that have been spawned by the WordPress phenomenom is just breathtaking. This Portfolio theme is yet another classic example of what can be done with the magic that is WordPress, and judging by this and other offerings on this website it is well worth joining to have access to these themes.

  24. i got this theme a while ago and can not figre out how to upload and organize my photos. I need help please!

Thank you for the useful information to a newbie like me it really helps.

  26. Very very nice and so cut theme.

  33. Is it easy to modify this theme?
    Thanks

  34. The theme admin of WP gives this error message:

    F8
    template missing.
    style sheet missing.

  35. Is there any documentation? It’s not clear what value to enter in the custom fields???

  36. hi,

    when I installed the theme, wp is saying this:

    Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    What can I do to fix this problem??

  37. Hi,

    I’ve downloaded the zip file which has appeared on my desktop. How do i unzip this file and apply it to my website?

    thanks

  38. a great one guys . .thanks a lot!
    the template is missing in the zip file :/

    regards

  39. I had the same problem with f8 missing the template. Looking through the stylesheet I noticed that it referenced modularity. Installing the latter theme enabled f8 to work. Hope this helps!

    • so: i if i register without paying, i can download child themes like f8, but not actually use them, since the required “parent”-theme (modularity) can’t be downloaded – is this correct?

  40. There’s a glitch with your header.. figured you would probably wanna know

  41. Where i can get the “F8 Lite 1.2.1″ Version? I need this version because my Site have a bug. Please….can every body send/upload this Theme?

    Thanks… :)

  42. f8 definitely looks great! thanks for the sharing!

  43. Hi,
    Id love to check out F8 as well, but F8 Lite is nothing in comparison to F8. Is there any chance to try it out?

  44. Like others above, I came accross this article when looking for relative wedding photography information for a blog that I’m writing. I found the article very interesting and I’m definitely going to try and implement the F8 theme on my personal wordpress blog. Wish me luck! Thanks Michael :)

  45. The theme is good but the main picture i feel is too large i hope its easily editted and the template is fairly search engine friendly. Good work.

  46. Hi there,

    I wanted to install this theme, but it is not in the list of downloadable themes.
    The list to download is:
    F8 lite
    F8 child
    F8 remixed
    F8 Static.

    Is this a child from modularity?

    P.S. I am registered
