Theme Description
Sideways 2, a premium photography and creative portfolio WordPress theme. It is the follow up to the best selling Sideways Portfolio Website WordPress Theme. The theme features a unique combination of responsive fullscreen and horizontal layouts, clean contemporary design and elegant typography.
The theme has been designed around ease of use. The theme and template options are concise and clearly labeled with descriptions explaining exactly what they do. There are also no excessive meta boxes on the page edit screen for adding featured content such as video embeds. Instead just copy the video url (from an oEmbed provider supported by WordPress) into the page content area and the theme will do the rest via oEmbed.
