I installed ZP through cPanel/Simple Scripts. But I'm well versed in FTP file transfer and uploading files and sych. I tried using the Zenpage add-on but I could not get it to do exactly what I wanted so I installed Wordpress for the main site and ZP as an add-on for our pictures. So I tried 3 themes. One was the Zenpage Default, The Stop Designs theme and Finally Effervescence+. Now the problem that I have is that no matter what I do I can't get the gallery part of the site (ZP) to have the same theme on everypage. If I finally get the EFFevescence theme to show on the index page then when I click on a thump it might show the Stop Designs theme and then clicking on another image might show the Zenpage default. I am at wits end here. No matter how I try to fix this I can't get it to be themed correctly on every page.

The only way this can happen is that either the install is somehow not correct/complete or you accidentally set album themes for certain albums. Check that on the album in question, there is a drop down menu to set that on each album edit page and also on the themes page itself.

Regarding Zenpage: Would you mind to tell what you tried and what did not work? Not that it can everything or not that I can fullfill all wishes (nothing wrong with using Wordpress if that fits better), but I still would be interessted in the details.

Thanks for responding acrylian:
No I checked the theme setting fo each individual album and each one that was set to the default gallery setting and as I said before I tried 3 different ones in default but all with the same result except of course with the first one that I tried. The other thing that I forgot to mention was that when I try to use the lightbox feature the it seems to start normally but then hangs for about a minute and when the picture is supposed to show it just shows a jumble of letters and numbers. I have tried to install and reinstall 3 times I think with th same results.

As far as what I couldn't seem for Zenpage to do what I wanted. I wanted for the home page to be a page with a list of albums on the right side of the page. But I just could not to get it to do that. I either got the page or the thumbs for the albums or I would have to click on a page in the right side bar but even then the output was not correct as it would not show all the albums in the right side bar.

I hope I am making sense.

I would like to close this topic as I have started from scratch and I am attempting to use Zenphoto with Zenpage to achieve what I want. I did however start another topic http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4219 with the original problem I was having.
