Here’s a quick look at the before and after.
The Photos Directory now uses a block child theme alongside the shared WordPress.org parent theme. This update involved converting all elements to blocks and standardizing the layout, typography, and colors. Now, all directories across WordPress.org share consistent aesthetics and functionality, which simplifies any site-wide enhancements that may be considered in the future.



Next steps
So, now that the new Photos Directory theme is live on WordPress.org, take a look around and perhaps consider contributing a few photos of your own. At the time of writing, the directory is getting close to 20,000 photos!
