Under the "Exclude RSS Link", tick the checkbox that says "Check here to exclude RSS icon/button in the header".
Hiding the Search Form
To hide the default search form in the header:
Go to WP Admin > Themify > Settings > Theme Settings.
Under the "Exclude Search Form", tick the checkbox that says "Check here to exclude search form in the header".
Content Alignment
There are two content alignment option: left or center (left is default).
To set Content Alignment:
Go to WP Admin > Themify > Settings > Default Layouts
Doing this will set the Content Alignment in the default blog index, single post, and static page (these settings will apply to the entire site)
To set the Content Alignment per post/page individually:
Add or edit a post/page, in the Themify Custom Panel, select the Content Alignment:
Theme Default = will take the Content Alignment from Themify > Default Layouts
Left = will set left content alignment (this will override the Content Alignment set in Themify > Default Layouts)
Center = will set center content alignment (this will override the Content Alignment set in Themify > Default Layouts)
Image Filters
There are 3 different image filters built in the theme: Grayscale, Blur, and Sepia.
To set image filters:
Go to WP Admin > Themify > Settings > Theme Settings, under the Image Filter options, select:
Image Filter = will apply the filter to the image (default is none)
Image Hover Filter = will apply the filter when the cursor hovers on the image only
Apply to:
Featured Images Only = will apply to the post featured images only
All Images = will apply the filter to all images on the entire page
For example, if you want to have grayscale images and show the Sepia image filter on hover, you would select Image Filter = Grayscale and Image Hover Filter = Sepia.
To set the Image Filter per post/page individually:
Add or edit a post/page, in the Themify Custom Panel, select the Image Filter and Image Hover Filter
Masonry / Grid Layouts
Masonry post layout (the post stacking layout) is enabled by default. Note that masonry layout only applies to grid4, grid3, and grid2 layouts.
To disable default masonry layout:
Go to WP Admin > Themify > Settings > Default Layouts, under the "Default Index Layout", check "Disable masonry layout". Doing so will disable the masonry layout in post archive.
Creating Masonry/Grid Blog and Portfolio Pages
To create masonry blog/portfolio pages:
Add a new page, in the Themify Custom Panel, select either "Query Posts" or "Query Portfolios" tab (depending if you want to query blog posts or portfolio posts)
Select "All Categories" or a single category
Select a post layout (note that masonry layout only applies to grid4, grid3, and grid2 layouts)
Select Enable Masonry = Yes
In the "Image Dimension", enter 294 width (image width can be any number) and 0 height (this will disable the image vertical cropping)
To create grid blog/portfolio pages:
In the Themify Custom Panel (either Query Posts or Query Portfolios tab):
Select Enable Masonry = No
In the "Image Dimension", enter a fixed width and height (e.g. 630 x 330px)
Custom Header Styling
The general header can be customized in the WP Admin > Appearance > Customize > Header.
To customize the header of each individual page:
Edit or add a new page
In the Themify Custom Panel, under the Header Wrap Background:
Click Upload or "Browse Library" to set a header background image
Background Repeat = select either repeat mode or Fullcover to make the image fill the header completely
Header Wrap Text = is the text color in the header area
Header Wrap Link Color = is the link color in the header area
Drop Cap
Because drop cap does not work well with center aligned text, the drop cap styling only appears on the single post that has left Content Alignment. You can also apply drop cap styling to any Builder Text module.
To apply drop cap:
On the Text module > Styling tab, enter 'drop-cap' in the "Additional CSS Class" and it will apply drop cap styling to the first letter of the text module (whether it is a paragraph or heading tags such as h1 to h6)
Designing Pages with the Builder
Step 1) To create the demo pages using our Builder as shown on our demo:
In WP Admin, go to Pages > Add New
Enter page title
On Themify Custom Panel:
Sidebar Option = No Sidebar
Content Width = Fullwidth
Hide Page Title = Yes
On Discussion panel, uncheck "Allow comments" to disable comments on this page
Publish the page and click "View Page" to view the page on frontend
Step 2) Using the Builder to construct the page content and layout:
From top WP Admin bar: select Themify Builder > Turn On Builder
Note: If you're not sure where or what a row or module is, refer here for details and to see a screenshot
Now you can drop any module on the page to construct the layout
Here are some basic Builder tips:
To start, drag & drop a module on the Builder grid.
Working with rows/columns:
To split the fullwidth row to multiple columns: hover on the right edge of the row (you will see a blue vertical bar) and drag towards the left to create different number of columns (ie. dragging to the most left will create 4-column).
Dragging the column dividers left/right can rearrange the column span/width.
Dragging the top bar of the row up/down can reposition the row
Each row can be styled differently:
To style the row: hover on the row menu icon (located on the upper left corner of the row) and select "Options"
Row background can be customized with background color, background image (either repeat, parallax scrolling, or fullcover), image slider, or a background video loop
Use padding or margin to control the spacing between rows (padding = spacing inside the row and margin = spacing outside the row)
When specifying the font, color, and link color in row styling, it will effect the appearance of all modules dropped in the row
Each module can be styled individually as well:
To style the module: double-click on the module to bring up the module option lightbox, then click on "Styling" tab
When specifying module styling, it will effect the individual module
You can export the Builder layout from the top Admin bar > Themify Builder > Import/Export > Export (it will prompt you to download a zip file which you may import to any post/page using the Import option)
The video below shows how to use the Builder such as dropping modules, controlling the grid, etc.:
FYI: There are more features available in the Builder. Please refer to the Builder documentation for more info.
ScrollTo Row Anchor
To achieve scrollTo row anchor:
First enter the Row Anchor name in Builder > Row > Options (e.g. "portfolio")
Then in the WordPress menu link (WP Admin > Appearance > Menu), insert the anchor name as link URL = "#portfolio" (basically add # in front of the anchor name)
When the #portfolio link is clicked or when users go the URL with the #portfolio anchor (eg. http://yoursite.com#portfolio), it will scroll to the row where it specified Row Anchor = "portfolio"
Full Height Builder Row
Full height row will set the height of the row in 100% viewport height and the row content will automatically align in the middle vertically.
To create a Portfolio post, select "Add New" under the "Portfolios" admin menu
Enter the portfolio title and content
In the Themify Custom Panel, enter the options as you like:
Featured Image = Upload or select an image from the media library for the project.

To create a Portfolio single with the Builder:
In admin, select "Add New" under the "Portfolios" admin menu
In the Themify Custom Panel:
Featured Image = Upload or select an image from the library
Hide Post Title = Yes
Hide Post Date = Yes
The above will hide the elements in the Portfolio single because we will use the Builder to layout the content
Then publish and view the portfolio post on frontend
From the top admin bar, select Themify Builder > Turn On Builder
Now you can use the Builder to add modules on the page (this process is very similar like above on how to build pages with the Builder)
Setting the Portfolio Layouts

You can categorize the team posts by assigning categories in the "Team Categories" panel (e.g. Billing Department, Support, Executive Level). The team posts are then displayed separately by categories.
Team Social Icons
Use the Themify Icon shortcode to display social icons in the team post. To insert a Themify Icon shortcode:
You can use the Themify Smiley icon on editor to generate the [themify_icon] shortcodes. The shortcode will then be inserted in the content editor. Cut the generated shortcode and paste it anywhere you want to insert the icon.

As a general rule, always escape when you're outputting the data. Don't store it in a variable even if you must use it more than once. It's not certain how ThemeForest checks the theme to know that there were attributes without escaping, but, if they didn't made an "optical" check they run some regular expression search to check if esc_attr, esc_url or similar was used within an attribute (the first doc linked above says that WP.com runs automated checks).
This is in case in the future we need to add a link or set something in bold or italic or something. In the past, we added to Lightbox Link and others a link pointing to a document. If we use esc_html this becames text instead of a link since basically esc_html transforms the html to plain text.
Always check that user intends to do the action. In WP Admin, use check_admin_referer for form submitting and saving. Users can be easily tricked to click a link when they're inadvertently logged in and they can perform an action they didn't meant.
When checking number input for sensitive operations, don't parse the input with intval before using it since for strings like 123somemaliciouscode it will return true. Instead use first is_numeric or ctype_digit.
Always use nonces to check origin and user intention. See Nonces in WP Handbook for reference.
Translation
Make all strings available for translation using esc_html__ or esc_html_e since in 99% cases the string won't have HTML in it. If you need to include HTML it can be done using sprintf( '<a href="%s">' . esc_html__( 'Link', 'themify' ) . '</a>', 'http://themify.me/' )
Make plurals properly available for translation using _n.
If you introduce new custom fields in the plugin or theme, make sure you list them in the wpml-config.xml file in each plugin or theme root directory. If there's no such file, create one following the XML file in themify-builder plugin or themify-infinite theme as reference.
Date & Time
Always use the WordPress standard options date_format and time_format so users can change them. To use them in JavaScript, you can fetch the format, pass it through wp_localize_script and use it to format any date with date.js library.
Code Formatting
Follow the conventions of styling used by the Themify team:
For indentation, use tabs, not spaces. Each tab must have a size of 4 spaces.
Add phpDocs and jsDocs for functions, classes, methods and properties. A good documentation will make clear what something does for the rest of the team. Follow WordPress standards for PHP documentation and JS documentation.
Follow WordPress standards regarding code style: PHP, JS and CSS.
Code Documentation
Always document your code by add proper PHP comments (so other developers can understand your code easier)
If it is CSS, then add CSS comment to document the code.
File Structure
Always follow the same file structure as existing structure.
When adding code, keep them nicely organized and group them (ie. do not just keep on adding new code at the bottom). If there are existing functions and the new code is related, add the new code to below the existing functions.
Admin and public CSS/JS should be enqueued accordingly (ie. do not enqueue admin JS in every admin pages).
Do not enqueue unnecessary JS/CSS for every little feature (try to add to the existing core CSS/JS files).
Please welcome our first theme designed by our developer Elio Rivero - Fullscreen (demo). It started with a simple discussion about fullscreen galleries and Elio suggested to take responsibility to design it. We agreed to it because we thought it would be fun to have a theme designed from a developer's perspective. After hours and hours of hard work and collaboration, Fullscreen turned out to be a gorgeous photo gallery theme. The entire process was very fun and we are extremely happy with the outcome. It is the best responsive theme to showcase your photos in a complete fullscreen mode.

Responsive Design
The layout automatically adapts to the viewport width so it displays beautifully on any resolution whether it is large desktop display or small mobile screen.
Minimal Homepage
We minimized the elements homepage so your photos are put in center focus. It only contains the logo, description, social icons, and an optional welcome message.
Fullscreen BG Gallery
The fullscreen gallery can be individually assigned to any WordPress Post or Page. You can insert optional image caption to each image. Users can toggle to fullscreen mode by clicking on the fullscreen button and pressing escape key to exit the fullscreen mode. The fullscreen gallery has swipe support on mobile devices (ie. users on iPhone can swipe through the photos).
Regular Gallery
For the regular WordPress gallery, there are two display options: photoswipe or lightbox. It can be either displayed in fullscreen swipe or popup lightbox mode.
Video & Multimedia Lightbox Content
Fullsscreen can also be used to display video embeds and multimedia lightbox content such as image popup, video, or iframe window.
