About Whizz | Photography WordPress for Photography 2.2.6

Whizz is a WordPress theme made for photography websites. It was originally sold on ThemeForest, and in the store it is filed under photographer, portfolio, blog and business categories. That mix suggests a photographer's portfolio with a blog, and room to present services.

The listing says very little about layouts, gallery styles or included demos. Read the documentation in the package before you plan a build, and look for which gallery and portfolio layouts it offers and whether it includes a demo import.

The file on record is version 2.0.8, released in April 2019. The product title mentions a different version number, so check the version shown under Appearance after installing. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP on a staging site first, because themes from 2019 can show errors on newer PHP.

Requirements

  • WordPress

Key features

Built for photographers
Filed under the photographer category, so the design is aimed at showing images.
Portfolio use
Also filed under portfolio, which fits galleries of projects and shoots.
Blog support
Filed under blog categories, so you can publish articles next to your work.
Business pages
Filed under business service, so it can carry services or contact pages for a photography studio.
Premium theme package
A premium-style theme, so expect a documentation file and possibly demo content in the package.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

  • Freelance photographers who need a portfolio site
  • Studios that want a gallery plus a blog and service pages

Look elsewhere if

  • Online shops that need a full store layout; the listing doesn't mention WooCommerce

How to install Whizz | Photography WordPress for Photography 2.2.6

  1. 1

    Download the file

    Open My Account β†’ Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.

  2. 2

    Find the installable theme zip

    Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.

  3. 3

    Upload it to WordPress

    Go to Appearance β†’ Themes β†’ Add New Theme β†’ Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.

  4. 4

    Install the recommended plugins

    Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.

Notes for this product

  • The listing doesn't state which plugins the theme needs. Check the documentation in the package for a required-plugins list before importing any demo.

Getting started: using Whizz | Photography WordPress for Photography 2.2.6

  1. Install and activate the theme. Activate Whizz and install any plugins its notice asks for.
  2. Read the documentation. Open the guide in the package to see the gallery layouts, header styles and demos.
  3. Import a demo or build your pages. If a demo is included, import it to see the intended layout, then replace the sample content.
  4. Upload your photos. Add your own images to the gallery or portfolio pages and set your logo and menu.
  5. Check speed and mobile. Large photos slow pages, so compress them and check the key pages on a phone.

Common problems and fixes

Gallery or portfolio pages show empty grids
Why it happens
Portfolio items come from the theme's content type, and the demo images and posts are not part of the theme files.
How to fix it
Add your own portfolio items and assign them to the categories the page template uses.
β€œThe package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
Why it happens
The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
How to fix it
Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.
β€œThe link you followed has expired.” when uploading
Why it happens
The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it
Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.
Demo import stops part-way or times out
Why it happens
The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
How to fix it
Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.
Pages look broken right after activating
Why it happens
The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
How to fix it
Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.
