Renkon is a photo blog theme with a flexible grid, an off canvas sidebar and a large header image. It is a classic theme, set up on its own options page.

This is the release post from 25 April 2013, kept as it was written. Prices, coupons and links are of their time; the theme itself is free and open source today.

The Renkon Theme Overview

Renkon is our newest Premium WordPress theme for photography lovers. Renkon has a minimal, responsive grid layout that makes it very easy to create a beautiful, modern photo blog with your pictures. The theme also offers a big header image feature with an optional intro slogan. The responsive, off canvas sidebar gives you lots of space to present your pictures in the Renkon theme.

Photo blogging made easy

With Renkon it’s very easy to publish your pictures, articles and image galleries and you can create a beautiful photo blog in no time. The theme supports the WordPress post formats „Standard, Image and Gallery“. Image and gallery posts will have a post thumbnail by default. You can use the WordPress featured image option to show thumbnails for your longer standard articles (e.g. travel photography articles) as well.

Big header image option

As an introduction to your website you have the possibility to show a big header image (measurements 1440 x 900px) together with an intro slogan text to greet your visitors on your blog front page.

  1. I try to set-up website that will involve few photo galleries, where each gallery will have sub-gallery, and possibly even sub-sub-gallery.
    Can your theme do that?

      Replying to Jan

      @Jan: I’m not quite sure what you mean by “sub galleries”. Are you planing on using the standard WordPress gallery function or are you using a plugin to create sub galleries? Do you need multiple galleries in one page or post? Please let me know, so I can try to answer in more detail. Best, Ellen
