    Cool!

    Great work!. I think I might use this some time in the future. I’m going to retweet this for you and possibly make a post about it on my blog.

    Curious if there is a way for me to use Vimeo videos with the theme?

    Like maybe I assign a thumbnail picture that links to a Vimeo video?

    @Wes – I’ll upload an updated version tomorrow, that will include video support :)

    @Julian – Did you try reading the Readme file?

  10. 2:52 pm - Nov 5th, 09

    Hi Matt,

    I love the theme and installed it on a project of mine at http://www.businesscardcritic.com, as you can see I’m having problems with the images in the recent section, they aren’t scaling down like the one in the latest section, do I have to manually make them the size I want or is there something I’m missing?

    Thanks,
    Jamie

    @Matt, I figured out my mistake, thanks for the great theme.

    @Jamie – Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. Glad to see you got it working.

    @Matt, no problem, I was wondering if you or anyone else knew what the easiest way to add widgets to the front page? I’m looking at adding three widgets at the bottom.

    6:30 am - Dec 3rd, 09

    @tilman – Looks like I forgot to add that to the readme.
    Yes, you just need the posts to be in the “uncategorized” category.

    Sorry, but I cannot use ‘uncategorized’ category.

    It seems like I have diferrent permalinks structure.

    For someone with the same problem in a fresh install of wordpress:

    a) erase ‘category/uncategorized’ in the header.php and footer.php files,
    b) put ‘?cat=1′, meaning the default category.

    Or change your permalink structure.

    Thank you for this GPL theme. I love it.

  17. 8:01 am - Dec 15th, 09

    Thanks for sharing this great theme. I am guessing it can be used as a Video gallery website and as a image gallery website?

    thanks again

  18. Matt
    9:49 am - Dec 15th, 09

    @Jeevan – Yep, It’s a multi-purpose theme :)

  19. 6:32 am - Dec 20th, 09

    Hey – are we blind – or is there no download link? can someone send us asap to our email (wejew1[at]gmail[dot]com) a link to download this – looks perfect for what we need but under deadline! thanks in advance…

    7:30 am - Dec 20th, 09

    @Shlomo – Oops, download link fixed.

  21. 2:50 am - Dec 22nd, 09

    Hi! In Archives page there are no all recent posts, there is just the one latest post and buttons “older post” and “newer post”. What should i do? Thank you! Great theme.

  22. Matt
    6:59 am - Dec 22nd, 09

    @distgusting – Are all your posts in the “uncategorized” category?

  23. 10:14 am - Dec 22nd, 09

    @ Matt – Yes they are…

  24. Matt
    10:16 am - Dec 22nd, 09

    @distgusting – Can you send me a link to the page?

  25. 9:36 pm - Dec 22nd, 09
  26. 9:36 pm - Dec 22nd, 09

    @ Matt – just click on my nickname

  27. Matt
    7:42 am - Dec 24th, 09

    @distgusting – Try changing your permalinks to:
    %category%/%postname%/

    and see if that makes a difference.

  28. 8:31 am - Dec 25th, 09

    @ Matt – The requested URL /category/postname/ was not found on this server.

  29. 6:39 am - Dec 26th, 09

    @ Matt , sorry for my mistake, but there is no difference =\

  30. Matt
    7:49 am - Dec 26th, 09

    @distgusting – Try disabling the theme, and then re-activating it. Did you modify the theme in any way?

    i hv d same problem as jamie n still cnt figure it out.I’m having problems with the images in the recent section, they aren’t scaling down like the one in the latest section.can u help me…

  32. Matt

  33. edzrie
    5:24 pm - Jan 5th, 10

    can u gv me a few simple steps?

  34. Matt
    6:12 pm - Jan 5th, 10

    @edzrie – I just tested it on a brand new WordPress install, and it worked fine for me. Did you change your permalinks to: /%category%/%postname%/

  35. edzrie
    6:35 pm - Jan 5th, 10

    @matt.i realized my mistake.sory. :)

  36. Matt

    @matt.im new wif wordpress n i need help.where shud i put the prettyphoto code?

  38. Matt
    7:29 am - Jan 7th, 10

    @rafiq – You don’t need to do anything with prettyphoto, to get the theme working.

  39. Peter
    1:44 pm - Jan 8th, 10

    Hi there. Nice theme :) I just, have a problem, same problem as Jamie and edzrie… And I cant figure it out. I did fix the custom fields and I changed the setting – media but still my “thumbs” get soo big.

  40. rafiq
    2:44 am - Jan 9th, 10

    @matt. i noticed that one of your picture from the demo can be view in fullsize. can u tell me how to do that?

  41. rafiq
    3:04 am - Jan 9th, 10

    @peter. hope this can help. u have to manually edit/resize your picture.each picture you upload will have another 2 extra pics for thumb (210×124) and image (460×258).

  42. Peter
    7:07 am - Jan 9th, 10

    @rafiq : Ah, thanks, that solved my problem. I guess I was hoping I only needed to upload one image of each picture.

  43. Peter
    7:14 am - Jan 9th, 10

    @rafiq . Gonna help you back. Getting fullsize image is when you add fullsize to custom fields.

  44. Matt
    8:36 am - Jan 9th, 10

    @Peter, @rafiq – Hoping to add something like TimThumb to v.2, so that you don’t have manually resize each image.

  45. rafiq
    1:39 pm - Jan 9th, 10

    @peter. i did put the full size in the custom field. as you can see in this link, http://themes.dvq.co.nz/demo/photoview/uncategorized/a-photo-with-fullsize/ (from the demo),on the top right of the picture there is a button that when you push it,the picture will be in fullsize.that what im trying to do :)

    @matt. that would be great.

    sorry to bother you guys so much :p

  46. Matt
    3:00 pm - Jan 9th, 10

    @rafiq – You need to add a custom field with the name “fullsize” and the value should be the url of your fullsize image.

  47. rafiq
    3:31 pm - Jan 9th, 10

    @matt. oh my god. instead of fullsize i wrote ‘full size’, with a space. sorry, my bad. thanx for the great theme matt. u’ve been very helpful… :D

  48. Matt
    5:51 pm - Jan 9th, 10

    @matt – Great!

  49. rafiq
    11:47 pm - Jan 9th, 10

    is it possible to put an image or two in ‘about’ page that has link to another site, for example a social networking site?

  50. Matt
    7:05 am - Jan 10th, 10

    @rafiq – Yes, you can do what ever you want to the about page, just as you would with a normal WordPress site.

  51. 11:35 pm - Jan 13th, 10

    thanks…. nice themes dude.

  52. 12:51 am - Jan 21st, 10

    I loved the theme. It was a very smooth process installing it and using it. Is there any way I can possible separate my images to Categories and still have the theme working so smooth or if at all? It’ll be a let down if not so. I also wanted to know if I could integrate WP and 3rd party plugins to the blog and not mess up the theme?

    PS: I have little to none technical skills.

  53. Matt
    6:08 pm - Jan 26th, 10

    @KaranW – Currently there is no support for multiple categories, so it would take a little work to make that work. It really just depends on the plugins you are wanting to use, so you could just try them and see if the work :)

  54. Daniel
    10:16 am - Feb 8th, 10

    Thanks for a great theme!

    What I would like to see is that it’s possible to click on the 460×288-image to get a full screen. Not just the box in the corner. I think people are used to clicking on images. And if possible – have that image any width you like as long as it’s 288 height. Thank you.

  55. Matt
    8:18 am - Feb 9th, 10

    @Daniel – If I ever get around to developing v.2, I will definitely consider that.

  56. 1:51 am - Feb 27th, 10

    Hi matt, nice theme! I’m gonna use this theme with some modifications for my photoblog “porque es tan linda costa rica” this blog is like the fail blog but in Costa Rica..

  57. 2:31 am - Feb 27th, 10

    Hi matt I’m having some problems displaying my post. I change the permalinks structure but the problem continue.. what do you think? I know i need to change the photos structure and use the inputs to add the photos but what happen with the titles of the old post? jeje..

    I playing around with the code to see what happen… but if you know the fix you are welcome =)

    http://tanlindacostarica.com/

  58. 3:34 am - Feb 27th, 10

    ohh I see.. there is not support for multiple category.. maybe I need to change the some code lines jeje

    @Rsibaja – Sorry I wasn’t able to get back to you sooner. Looks like you figured it out yourself though ;)

    Hey, I am trying to install this theme on my website. However after I run the installation i get the following warnings…

    Warning: fopen(/home2/jarrydro/public_html/wp-content/themes/PhotoView-1-1.1/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/jarrydro/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4165

    Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home2/jarrydro/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4168

    Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home2/jarrydro/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4171

    Why is that? And can I still use the theme?

    Thanks,

    Jarryd
