So, there is no need to have any related plugins, because you can easily place these widgets where you want on your website, but I recommend using the following structure as in following image:
Some important things to note regarding automatic image resizing The theme uses the TimThumb PHP script to automatically create and resize the thumbnail images, and in order for it to work properly you need to take note of the following:
 TimThumb requires the GD library, which is available on any host sever with PHP 4.3+ installed.
 The theme has a cache folder for the thumbnail images located at \zenko\scripts\cache which requires proper write permissions. If your host server doesn’t allow this by default, be sure to manually change the /cache/ folder permissions to 777 (or 755). In addition, make sure the \scripts\ folder (zenko\scripts\) is set to 777 (or 755).
