Infinite Photography Theme Review

General design

The design of Infinite Photography is mainly based on straight line and squares, which makes it looks strong, sharp and solid.

The most stunning temperament is the homepage where the posts are displayed in the grid structure extremely neatly. It's like many small photos hanging on a whiteboard, and that board is on a grey wall.

Overall, this theme is well-organized and looks quite "serious" to me.

Other elements

The dark background of the wall is the core factor that makes me feel so "serious" when first seeing it. When switching to the other page, this dark wall is replaced by a white background so I feel more "relaxed". Some users may approve this dark grey color, but I guess that some may like me. If you agree with me, unluckily for us, we can't change this color. You just can choose the different colors for 2 elements below.

Customizing color

The typography is chosen quite well. The font size is large, clear and the default family font is readable and "solid" as the main spirit of the theme.

The author frequently uses straight lines to decorate this theme. These lines, slim or thick, are used to emphasize and highlight the special part or divide the different parts. Yet sometimes, I suppose that they may distract readers while contemplating the photos or reading the texts.

Straight lines used in the design

There is a very interesting feature that allows you to view the photo so clearly. The full-screen image will appear when you click the "eye", which absolutely gives you a big "wow". It's so amazing, right?

Notably, you are able to decide which size do you want to show your featured images on the front page.

The image sizes

These sizes won't affect the images on the home page much if you choose the Photography layout. But if you change to the Normal layout, your photography theme will turn to a blog with a list of posts. In this list, the size of your images can be seen much more clearly so you should choose a large or full size to make it beautiful and prominent.

Blog layout

More interestingly, if you choose the Middle sidebar, the layout will change a bit like this. It's narrower and quite small so I don't encourage you to use it.

Responsive

On every viewport, this WordPress photography theme shows up very beautifully. I see no mistake in the design when using this theme by laptop, tablet or smartphone.

There are two ways for you to have a similar-look website like the demo. The first one is using the one-click demo import. In the Recommended Actions, the author already guides you on how to use Acme Demo Setup to import the dummy data. It's simple and you don't have to wait long until the importing process finishes.
The second method is the traditional setup by using Customizer. After installation, your page is nearly like the demo and you just need to set a header image, sidebar, and social links.

Whichever method you choose, it's still simple even with a non-professional user like me.

All the necessary features for a blog and photography are available. Besides, the One-click demo import makes this theme a premium one.

But if you want to have some more interesting things like Instagram Feed, Sticky Menu...there is no recommended plugin from the author so you have to find one by your self.

There are a lot of things to custom, both the minor and the important ones like color, background image, header image, layout and more. All are in the Customizer and very easily editable.

The header image can be cropped to any size you want properly.

If your URL is correct, the media icon will show up very prominently in the footer. But the author restricts the number of media links to 6. Although they are the most popular and common social site, I think that they are not enough to use. If you have another channel, for example, Linkedin, it's impossible to add.

Customizing social media

You can change the layout or structure as I described in the Design. All the layout can be rendered properly and also the widgets. There are two widget areas: the left sidebar and primary sidebar and no footer widget. All the common widgets from WordPress for you to choose from.

The Edit Post, with the Gutenberg compatibility, is now helping you edit post much more easily. Especially, you can customize the sidebar position directly here.

All the standard formats are available and easy to use.

The full-width single image is the most attractive.

And this is the full-width video.

The gallery is also prominent and well-arranged.

After checking by some special tools, I realized that this photography theme hasn't been effectively optimized for SEO yet. Therefore, if you want to have this feature, you must install a plugin. Unfortunately, in all the useful plugins that the author suggests, there is no plugin for SEO.

The speed is not so good, but I think it's quite acceptable to a photography theme. The result is taken by PageSpeed Insights.

Documentation is written clearly and understandably. To help you learn it easily, the author includes a video tutorial and many annotated images.

Before looking for help, you should read the F.A.Q section to know the support policy. The support forum is available for both free and premium theme. Premium theme support is only visible to premium theme users so you just can use the free Infinite Photography forum. At first, you have to subscribe to Acme Themes to register an account. Then, you are able to create and respond to the topics here.

Plus, I see that the author response to all the topics in the WordPress support forum.
