Ocularus – Minimal Photography WordPress Theme

Photo portfolios often get buried under busy layouts and heavy page furniture. Ocularus takes the opposite route with a quiet, horizontal design where images lead and the text stays out of the way. A custom portfolio post type helps you organize projects, and image and carousel sliders let you present a set of shots in a few different ways.

The theme also covers the practical side of running a photography site. The layout is responsive and made for retina screens. It works with WPML and Polylang for multilingual sites, and with Contact Form 7 for inquiry forms. A shortcode generator adds content without code, and Google Web Fonts give you room to choose type that suits your work. A child theme is included for safer customizing.

Features

• Horizontal scroll layout: Portfolio images move across the page in a minimal horizontal scroll, paired with clean typography so the photography stays at the center of the design.
• Responsive and retina ready: The layout adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, and images are prepared to look sharp on high-resolution retina screens.
• Portfolio post type: A custom portfolio section lets you organize and present your photography projects in a structured way.
• Image and carousel sliders: Simple slider options let you display images individually or in a carousel, giving visitors a few ways to move through your work.
• Shortcode generator: Add custom content and elements to your pages with generated shortcodes, so you do not need to write code to place them.
• Multilingual compatibility: Works with WPML and Polylang, which makes it possible to build a translated site for visitors in different languages.
• Contact Form 7 support: Compatibility with Contact Form 7 lets you add customizable contact forms so clients and visitors can get in touch.
• Child theme included: A child theme comes with Ocularus, so you can make customizations while keeping your changes separate from the main theme files.
