Setting Serene (full screen) gallery settings for a specific page

If you wish to have different Serene settings than those set on Portfolio → Full Screen in the theme options panel, you will need to set up a filter hook PHP function that will modify them when a specific page is loaded. To do this you will need the unique post / page ID. See the table below for available options and the examples below the table for how to use them. To find your post / page ID, edit the post in WordPress and look in the address bar. Amongst other things it will have a section that looks like post=702, this
number is the post ID.

Change some options for all pages

This filter will only affect viewing single pages, any other page on your site such as single posts or archives will maintain your settings from the theme options panel.

}

Using multiple functions

PHP cannot have more than one function with the same name, if you try to use the same code to modify the settings for more than one page you will get a Fatal error. To avoid this you should change second parameter to add_filter and the function name so that they are the same, but different to any existing function, for example:
