Since there’s a growing community of YAPB-Users maintaining and posting on beautiful photoblogs, it was only a matter of time until the first YAPB-Ready WordPress themes would appear. Beside of creating some themes on my own (just need some time for that), my intention is to publish links to all available YAPB-ready-themes on this page:
YAPB Ready WordPress Themes
Grain
![]() |
Author: Mac Page: http://mac.defx.de/grain-theme Preview: http://www.defx.de/ Type: Classical photoblog, dark |
The first released YAPB theme: Grain. A very nice classical photoblog theme with a homepage presenting the latest image. Does have an image-mosaic feature (like my one ;-) ). Very straight layout accenting the image and not distracting the visitors eye through graphical tinsel. I do highly recommend it.
phT
![]() |
Author: Fran Simó Page: http://pht.inhubi.com/ Preview: http://justpictures.es/ Type: Base Theme, dark |
The second theme i’ve found: The phT Theme from Fran Simó. According to the author it’s a base theme that you can take to develop your own style.
Monolit
![]() |
Author: Kim Nørgaard Page: http://blog.jasen.dk/monolit Preview: http://blog.jasen.dk Type: Classical photoblog, bright |
The third theme in the collection: Monolit from Kim Nørgaard. I do like light and straight themes very much – A pitty it doesn’t support exif. Nevertheless a very nice theme for photographers. Thumbs up!
Reflection
![]() |
Author: Dave Page: http://xyloid.org/projects/reflection/ Preview: http://photoblog.xyloid.org/ Type: Classical photoblog, dark |
This one will get some attention for sure: Reflection by dave. Pro: Very nice and clear dark theme pimped up with stylish JavaScript reflections. Con: Doesn’t look exactly the same in IE as stated out on daves todo list. Maybe someone out there helping him with that small issue?
Elegance
![]() |
Author: Daniel O’Connor Page: http://dodesign.us/design/elegance/ Preview: here Type: Classical photoblog, light gray |
A very straight and elegant photoblog theme: Elegance. The theme is presenting the latest image in a modern web 2.0 style.
Phlogin’

Author: Squarefour Page: http://blog.squarefour.net/2009/05/28/introducing-new-wordpress-photoblog-theme/ Preview: here Type: Magazine style home, Classical photoblog single page |
Fresh new idea to present photos: A magazine-style homepage featuring some images – If you click on them, you land on a classical photoblog page featuring the single image. I like that idea very much!
You have a YAPB-Ready-Theme?
Just drop a note to the forum or a comment to this page and i’ll include it in the list.
Please make sure to include the used version of YAPB with your templates .zip so users may even use it if i’d decide to implement big changes in newer versions.
Happy photoblogging!

I'm surely no macpro, but maybe this link helps?

Have a look at the fourth position.

You can create zip files, by selecting the file/folder you wish to create, go to File > Create Archive. This will create a file with a .zip extension with the compressed file enclosed.
You upload using an FTP client.
I use Fetch For Mac - It's the best one I've found for Mac.
OR
FileZilla for Windows (Just do a google) - It's free and very fast.
OR failing this, my provider allows me to upload zip files via ftp, and then uncompress them on the server, using their control panel system.
You will need to contact your ISP for details on your ftp settings etc.

I've worked on a lightweight and minimalistic theme and the first useable version is now ready. You can find it at http://blog.jasen.dk/monolit or watch a demo at http://blog.jasen.dk/. It's documented and tested with the latest YAPB version (1.5.2).

Loved your theme so decided to play around with it a bit. You can take a look at the concept (a lot of quick and dirty coding though)

Now I've got WP upgraded and YAPB activated, I have a question for you. My objective is very simple: homepage at riabacon.com contains regular blog. Tab link at the top will link to YAPB. YAPB will have a different theme (I like Grain a lot) and will be used in the one-photo-a-day style. Do I need to install a second instance of WordPress, dedicated to YAPB and its theme? The address would be riabacon.com/galleria, for example.
Advice appreciated, and greets from the Netherlands!
