It was created to be a well-designed theme for photobloggers to use to accentuate their photos.</p> <p class="second">This theme is a parent theme. What this means is that to customize it, you should be creating a child theme. <em>Is it a theme framework?</em> Some people might call it that. All you need to know is that it's a solid, yet flexible, starting point for any blog.</p> <h2>Features</h2> <p><em>Picturesque</em> is built from the rock-solid <a href="http://themehybrid.com/hybrid-core" title="Hybrid Core theme framework">Hybrid Core</a> theme framework, so it provides a great starting point with many useful features.</p> <ul> <li>Custom "Gallery" page template to show off your latest images and galleries.</li> <li>Per-post layouts that allow you to quickly change the layout of your site.</li> <li>Post setting that allows you to add a custom stylesheet for individual posts.</li> <li>A smart breadcrumb menu that handles tons of permalink setups.</li> <li>Built-in pagination for your home, archive, and search pages.</li> <li>Post thumbnails that work with WordPress' featured image functionality and provide extra features.</li> <li>Dynamic body, post, and comment <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</acronym> classes.</li> <li>Fully internationalized, so you can run the theme in any language.</li> <li>Uses the built-in WordPress menu system. No need to hack your navigation into place.</li> <li>Context-aware action and filter hooks, so you don't have to learn WordPress conditional tags.</li> <li>Some of the most-used filter hooks are shortcode-ready and have accompanying shortcodes.</li> <li>Theme settings page that allows you to add custom meta boxes and settings.</li> <li>Ability to create custom templates for any post type in multiple ways.</li> <li>Highly-configurable widgets that give you full control over their display.</li> <li>Widget areas are content-aware, meaning that they only appear if they contain active widgets.</li> <li>And much, much more!</li> </ul> <h2>Child themes</h2> <p>Since <em>Picturesque</em> is a parent theme, you'll want to create a child theme if you plan on making any customizations. <em>Don't know how to make a child theme?</em> It's relatively simple. Just follow the below steps.</p> <ul> <li>Create a theme folder in your <code>/wp-content/themes</code> directory called <code>picturesque-child</code>.</li> <li>Then, create a <code>style.css</code> file within your theme folder.</li> <li>At the top of your <code>style.css</code> file, add the below information.</li> </ul> <pre><code>/** * Theme Name: Picturesque Child * Theme URI: http://link-to-your-site.com * Description: Describe what your theme should be like. * Version: 0.1 * Author: Your Name * Author URI: http://link-to-your-site.com * Tags: Add, Whatever, Tags, You, Want * Template: picturesque */</code></pre> <p>This will give you a blank design. If you want to import the <em>Picturesque</em> parent theme style, simply append this code after the above information:</p> <pre><code>@import url( '../picturesque/style.css' ); /* Custom code goes below here. */</code></pre> <p>Note that child themes are now the officially-supported way of modifying themes in WordPress.</p> <h2>Theme support</h2> <p>Support for the <em>Picturesque</em> theme is not offered on the WordPress support forums. There is a community called <a href="http://themehybrid.com" title="Theme Hybrid">Theme Hybrid</a> where support is offered for this theme. You are encouraged to sign up to the site to use its support forums and become a part of the community.</p> <h2>Copyright & license</h2> <p><em>Picturesque</em> is licensed under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html" title="GNU GPL">GNU General Public License</a>, version 2 (<acronym title="GNU General Public License">GPL</acronym>).</p> <p>This theme is copyrighted to <a href="http://justintadlock.com" title="Justin Tadlock">Justin Tadlock</a>.</p> <p>2012 © Justin Tadlock.
