What’s new in Opta 1.9

What it does
Many creative portfolio sites end up crowded with menus, widgets and decoration that pull attention away from the work itself. Opta takes the opposite approach with a clean, minimal design and restrained typography, so photos and project images carry the page. The layout is responsive and adapts from desktop screens down to phones, and it is retina ready, so images stay sharp on high resolution displays. It has also been built for cross-browser compatibility across the major browsers.
Under the hood, the theme adds custom portfolio and gallery post types for organizing your projects, plus several slider styles: image sliders, text sliders and carousels. A shortcode generator helps you add custom elements without writing code. For sites in more than one language, it includes .POT files and works with WPML and Polylang. It also works with Contact Form 7 for contact pages and AddToAny for social sharing, and XML demo content with documentation is included to help you match the demo layout.
Best for
- Photographers building a clean online portfolio
- Designers and artists presenting creative projects
- Creative bloggers who want a minimal, image-led site

Questions about Opta
Can I use this theme for a site in more than one language?
Yes. The theme includes .POT files for translating its text, and it is compatible with both WPML and Polylang, so you can run a multilingual portfolio with either of those plugins.
Does it have a way to organize photo galleries and projects?
It adds custom portfolio and gallery post types, so your projects and galleries live in their own sections of the dashboard instead of being mixed in with regular blog posts.
Will my site look the same as the demo?
XML demo content is included, which you can import to start from the demo layout. From there you can swap in your own images and text and adjust fonts and other options.
Can I add a contact form and social sharing buttons?
Yes. The theme is compatible with Contact Form 7 for building contact forms and with the AddToAny plugin for social sharing buttons, so clients can reach you and visitors can share your work.
