I came across Snapshot and want to see if it’s the right one for my new photography site. I have a clear vision in mind, I want the slider to present images that resemble a category of photography, when clicked it should take me to a page containing a Nextgen Gallery of that category. Also those blocks on the front page that are seen in the theme preview should do quite the same (looks redundant now, maybe I’ll change this later). From what I’ve seen so far, the slider fills itself from post images, which is not what I need. I don’t need posts at all so far, this will be a portfolio site with only galleries. Did I chose the wrong theme?

Hi Lars
Thanks for reaching out and sending your request. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to use the Snapshot slider in the manner you’ve described above. The slider and the home page both use featured images from posts and don’t link to categories. In theory, you could use any of themes (North for example: https://siteorigin.com/theme/north/) and manually create your category slider using our Page Builder plugin and the SiteOrigin Slider widget: Page: Slider Widget Documentation
