Theme Launch: Evo

We’re extremely excited to announce our favorite UpTheme to date, Evo, the successor to Gallery Pro, a revolutionary new WordPress theme that makes building a user-generated gallery, photography showcase or personal portfolio easier than ever. With awesome AJAX-powered pagination, David DeSandro’s Masonry plugin for jQuery, and a custom post submission page, Evo is the best gallery theme we’ve seen this side of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Features

Three Beautiful Color Schemes

In addition to the default light theme, there are two additional color schemes as well, which can be enabled on the Evo Colors & Images Options page.

User Submission Page

By popular demand, Evo includes a submission page that can be customized to fit your needs inside the UpThemes Framework on the Submission Form options page.

Flexible Thumbnail Sizes

Using the built-in image sizes, you can set the thumbnails to any size, allowing Evo to look good with a few images or a few hundred!

AJAX Pagination

Evo uses a custom twitter-style pagination to allow you to continue loading new posts into the page without being taken to a new page.

WordPress 3.0 Menu Support

Custom menus allow you to configure your navigation the way you want it! Evo features two menu zones in the header and footer, as well as unlimited widget menus.

Simple Video Embedding

Easy video embedding using the Simple Video Embedder plugin from Press75.com makes video embedding easier than ever. Requires installation of Simple Video Embedder plugin, download separately.

Resizable Thumbnails using WordPress 3’s Featured Image

Thumbnail sizes are completely under your control! Simply set your desired image sizes in ‘Settings > Media’ and a featured image for each post and off you go!

Ad Zones Built-in

There are now two ad zones that accept plain HTML and Javascript below the header and above the footer.

    This is one of the best gallery themes I’ve seen in a long time. The backend is packed with custom options and it is pretty easy for even a novice user. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a gallery website.

    Hi Chris,

    I am also interested in knowing if the user will be able to also add their website link along with the submission?

    I am ready to buy the theme as well if this is in place.

    Cheers!

    Great theme!
    I am about to purchase but would need to add one extra field to the submit form ( i need a field for url as I want to have a link to the original image url ). How possible or how difficult this might be?
    Thanks.
