How can I install a theme designed by someone else?
Usually, the distribution of a theme comes with instructions on how to install the theme. For those instances where instructions don’t exist, here is a basic set of installation instructions for installing themes:
- Download the theme of your choice.
- Expand the zip archive to a local folder.
- Upload the extracted folder (keeping the underlying folder structure intact) to your zenphoto\themes directory.
- Go into your admin>options tab and choose your theme.
- View your gallery with the new theme in place!
Note: Some themes have custom mods or things that need to be changed in addition to the normal theme installation. So take care to note in the theme distribution what these may be before you install.
Where can I find custom themes?
You can find custom themes at ZenphotoThemes, or from the theme creator’s site. Links to the theme locations that are submitted to the TRAC wiki will be placed from this FAQ soon.
How do I make a custom theme?
There will soon be a custom theme document outlining the best ways to create a zenphoto theme. As soon as it’s created, we’ll link to it from here as well.
