[i]can anyone tell me why the text appears on the images or how to solve it via css[/i]
What text does appear where on which images?

[i]can zenphotos work with phpfox.com cms script?[/i]
Never heard of that, the both solutions I posted above are the ones to go with in any case. The first of them works always...

Okay its resolve the text no longer appears on the images
I installed Zenpage
How do I get it to work with the current template

The text on your image is a problem with the stopdesign theme which is corrected in the nightly build.

Integrating zenpage with `stopdesign` will be a bit more of a problem because of the theme. There are two themes which integrate zenpage--`zenpage-default` of course, and `Effervescence+` each uses a different technique of integrating. However, there is a conflict with the `stopdesign` theme with both methods, so you will have to come up with a customized approach.

if i use wordpress which theme will be the default theme

the wordpress theme or the zenphotos theme

also is there more than 2 option

Slideshows dont work at all with any theme

http://www.alexduvot.com/index.php?p=slideshow&album=my-1st-month-on-earth

see area where it says images x of x

http://www.alexduvot.com/index.php?album=My-2nd-Month&image=Picture+018.jpg

notice the smug words

again the text over the image on the top of the image

it says image x of x

http://www.alexduvot.com/index.php?album=my-1st-month-on-earth&image=baby-057.jpg

The x of x image display is optional, you can turn it of in the options. The theme is actually not set up to have space for that. If you want that to be displayed you need to change the css of the theme.

About the slideshow, I have no idea why that is not working actually.

Themes in wordpress and zenphoto are independent of each other. Each can have its own default.

i tried all the themes
not one works with the slideshow

seems that is my final issue

does any one why the slide show does not work
please help

Sorry, I have no idea nor can I reproduce it on my server. Please check your error log.

i give up
i can not resolve this and this is not working for me
if your a developer and you can not solve it
imagine me who was trying to give my son a personal web gallery for xmas
too bad
i got him some toys as a replacement

I got the slideshow to work by turning off auto-height and setting a height of 600 (default theme) and 800 (Effervescence+).
