Opinions about the best theme and plugin for displaying photos!!!
I will give 10 points to the first person that post the plugin and theme that gets used. If you post the plugin and someone else posts the theme you split the 10 points.
Here are the criteria:
1. Must display no less than five images per row.
2. Must have Facebook likes for every image.
3. All images must be clickable links to other URLs.
4. Header must have image with ability to link to other URLs.
5. Anything else that you think will make your selection over the top.
I hope my challenges are not "out of line", but I find so many good things from other members. So I figure before I start or plan a change to a website I could get some ideas. I also figure that everyone likes points, so why not offer them some for their input. Then I save the thread and in the future when another member asks the same question; I can dig into my folders for them.
Was planning to do that with the “how to seek advice thread”, but JamesDunn wrote a blog on it. So now I can just use that.
Going to try these combinations out and get back to you. Are these type of threads inappropriate for a "general" question in the community?
Looks like i am going to stick with the twenty-eleven theme. Will be trying to use the meteor-slides with it.
I tried the Ultimate Facebook plugin. Facebook is cramping my style agian. They wanted my cell # to create the app, so i gave it to them, then they wanted a copy of my goverment issued ID. So after i chose to do somthing other than the ID, and they blocked my account for 30 days. I think they are getting tired of me bending their rules.
So i am using another Facebook like/share plugin/method.
@ThePath
So far the NextGEN is in the lead.
I am going to give you both 5 rep points for the suggestions. :) But the 10 points for a final solution are still up for grabs!

Always with these challenges eh! lol
I have to be honest here, this is one of my least favourite questions and here is why. Themes are relative to the person making the site.
What I love you might hate and what you love I might.... well you get the point.
So I always find it hard to recommend one definitive design for someone.
2. Ultimate FB can do that:

3. Generally the image URLs would go to the article page unless you changed the code. Are you wanting custom urls for them?
4. Note sure I get this? You mean like a slide show?
If so then I do quite like this one:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/meteor-slides/
As a theme, I do like these:
http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/thestyle/
http://www.woothemes.com/2011/08/announcement/
http://www.woothemes.com/2009/09/object/
http://www.woothemes.com/2009/04/aperture/
Take care.

Absolutely... NOT out of line! :)
I don't mind a good challenge. ha ha
These types of threads are perfectly fine, especially when they encourage community involvement as this does.
Thanks.

Hi all
Photocrati has just bought next gen:
http://www.photocrati.com/
http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/
And they are integrating the two and adding ecommerce functionality to next gen which will be awesome.
Thats all you need dude, if the theme doesnt have built in FB then use one of the many out there or Ultimate FB from here.
Hope that helps

There was a Bible Teacher arrested in OK, USA for holding a church service in his home. Amazing times we live in here! lol
