Free Storyboard Theme for WordPress

This WordPress theme has reached end of life and is no longer maintained. The theme is stable, you can still download it, and it will work with up-to-date install of WordPress, but there won't be any updates.

Storyboard is a lean portfolio WordPress theme. This theme draws an inspiration from screenplay form. It tends toward a classic look, with an emphasis on clarity. Its galleries can work well for illustrators and photographers who focus on images. But also for programmers who like to write a simple blog in monotype font.

Features

•  it works out of the box, no complex setup needed
•  it uses WordPress built-in taxonomies so you don’t have to rely on custom post types or plugins to get your portfolio home page up and running

Getting Started

Upload and install Storyboard from your WordPress dashboard under Appearance -> Themes.

Create a new category, call it portfolio. Only label the posts you want featured on the home page under this ‘portfolio’ category.

Chose how to display the home page: Home 2 columns, Home 3 columns, or Home 4 columns.

By default the home page will pick the first image for each post, assuming post(s) exist in the category ‘portfolio’. Use feature image in your post to display an image of your choosing. For a post without image a blue placeholder image will appear, so you should also use a featured image, even if your content post is only text.

Customize this theme

The theme is provided with Sass files so you can easily make it your own.

Fonts are embedded into the theme so it doesn’t rely on a third party to load fonts.

You can use a custom SVG logo, an image logo or the default title and description. But not all three simultaneously.

If you want to use your own SVG logo, you will need to uncomment (remove the double slash) line 36 in the header.php file. (Right before get_template_part( '/assets/inline', 'logo.svg' ); )

Add your own SVG logo in BASE64 code into the inline-logo.svg.php file provided here as an example.

You can use a free online service to translate your SVG logo into BASE64 code, and paste it to replace the sample in inline-logo.svg.php. Your SVG logo will then appear in the left-hand corner of your site.

You can also add a custom image logo from the customizer. Go to site identity → logo, or use the site text title + description.
