Question on Portfolio Theme for WordPress.

Hello… I just purchased your Portfolio theme on WordPress and I have two questions. Is there a way to have a slideshow on a page but not have black surrounding the photos? I’d prefer white so it doesn’t show up and you only see the photos in the slideshow.

Also, what is a featured slider?

Thanks!

Hi April!

You’d have to use CSS to remove the black from around the photos, which would require the Custom Design upgrade on WordPress.com. If you want to go that route, we can help you in the support forum (mentioned below).

We have a tutorial for how to use the featured slider here:

Also, if you have any other questions, we have a dedicated support forum for WordPress.com customers here:

Just start a new topic and we’ll help you out!

Hi Drew,

Is “Portfolio” the new responsive photography theme we were talking about in a recent blog post? I was asking you when it was going to come out, and saw this one released. Was wondering if this is the same theme that was in development for photographers or is it a different one still in development?

Hi Jeff!

No, Portfolio is a different theme. We’re currently still working on the new photography theme and hope to have it released soon :-)

Just purchased the Portfolio Theme but the Homepage doesn’t display a slideshow even after I selected the images nor it is displaying 3 posts below the slideshow. Currently, it is behaving as just a regular blog. Can you help please?

Hi Cynthia! Check out the Portfolio tutorial, there is a video located there that will walk you through the process of setting your site up like the demo. If you run into any questions, we are always happy to help in the Support Forum as well :)

I just purchased your Portfolio theme on WordPress and I have a request. Is possible to have or at least to know the name of the font of the Portfolio Logo?

Andy Adams July 11, 2012

Hey Alessio,

The font is called Cocktail Shaker, and it’s a premium font. I hope that helps!

Hello.
I purchased this theme from wordpress.com. With your demo in the illustration gallery the images are on the left and the description of the project is next to it on the right. I was wondering how you go about doing that?

Thanks
Meagen
