Galleria, a gallery style child theme of Hybrid. Originally a child theme of Thematic, built by Chris Wallace, and release for Smashing Magazine.
I have taken the gallery theme, and ported it over to work with the Hybrid theme framework. Since I am huge fan of Justin Tadlocks theme, and I really liked how simple the gallery theme was. Using the base jQuery and idea, I’ve changed the look and incorporated a few other features. into the admin area.

Adding Gallery Items
To use the default options for the Gallery Theme, here are instructions for creating gallery entries:
- Upload a full sized image ( any size wider than 500px )
- Set WordPress to resize thumbnails to 118×110 ( more info )
- in the Image field enter the full sized (original file ) URL, for example
http://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/design-name.jpg - Next, in the “thumbnail” field enter the thumbnail URL, for example
http://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/design-name-118×110.jpg - If applicable, enter the URL and Designer, in the appropriate fields
Setting Up Star Ratings **
- Install the WP-Post Ratings plugin from WordPress.org. Activate both the plugin and the widgets.
- To switch the type of images to transparent .PNGs, open
wp-content/plugins/wp-postratings/wp-postratings.phpin your favorite text editor and change the following lines ( located at line 31 ):### Define Image Extension define('RATINGS_IMG_EXT', 'gif'); //define('RATINGS_IMG_EXT', 'png');to match this:
### Define Image Extension //define('RATINGS_IMG_EXT', 'gif'); define('RATINGS_IMG_EXT', 'png'); - Then upload that file back into the plugins folder.
- In your WordPress admin panel, click the Ratings > Options link on the left sidebar.
- The transparent .PNG stars should be selected by default.
- Under ‘Ratings AJAX Style’ change ‘Show Loading Image With Text’ to ‘No’ and ‘Show Fading In And Fading Out Of Ratings’ to what ever your prefer.
- Click ‘Save Changes.’
- Now click the ‘Ratings Templates’ on the left sidebar.
- Replace the text in the ‘Ratings Vote Text’ box with the following code:%RATINGS_IMAGES_VOTE%
- Replace the text in the ‘Ratings Voted Text’ with the following code:%RATINGS_IMAGES%
- Click the ‘Save’ button.
- You should now see your star ratings show on the gallery single pages next to the title of the gallery item.
WTF lol! this is a copy paste of the theme “mixcss” lol! you only changed the design a bit.
That’s correct, I haven’t said that it’s not. Actually I haven’t even released it to the public, or announced notes. But, it’s a port over from Chris Wallace’s Gallery theme. Which was a child theme of Thematic. But, since I am a huge fan of Justin Tadlock’s Hybrid Theme, I decided to convert it with a few modifications.
I ensure you, that I’ve contacted Chris, and he is OK with it.
No worries Austin. Just to confirm, yes, I was contacted regarding this theme’s release and I have no problem with it.
Thanks bud!
Have you had a chance to download and test it? How do you like the demo?
Looks good, I think the background is a bit distracting, but that’s pretty easy for people to change.

How may i have 100px X 100px Thumbnails?
You would have to go into the style.css file and edit the img style, as well as your thumbnail size in the admin + the home.php file which shows the actual size. It may mess up the alignment of the columns as I haven’t calculated the smaller thumb sizes.
My large image is not showing up?
any suggestions?
Are you using the full path to the image?
yes…the thumbnail works fine but the large one does not.
Sorry I am not sure what the issues could be. If you’d like more help please use my contact form.
note: I will be off the computer from 7/21 – 7/28
How do I make this theme play nice with IE8?
Any suggestions??? I really like this theme (great work!!!) but after falling in love with it I just realized it doesn’t work well in IE8….
Will check this out sometime next week, I am currently out of the country.
Brian,
I tested it out in IE8 and saw no real issues. Can you tell me what problems your having.
I bought one domain last week for car-wallpaper niche. I think I will use your great theme (galleria). Can I modify your theme into white background, maybe?
Thanks,
Sure, you can do what you like! Send me link when your done.
