What it does
Building a news or magazine homepage usually means arranging many posts in grids, sliders and lists, and keeping those sections filled with the right content. This plugin handles that by giving you ready-made elements built for post-heavy sites. You drop them into a page with Elementor or WPBakery, then choose which posts appear by filtering on categories, tags or authors, or by excluding specific posts.
The elements include sliders, carousels, hero sections, newstickers and YouTube playlists, and each one can be customized to fit your design. The layouts are responsive and retina ready, so they adapt to desktops, tablets and phones. Because it works with any WordPress theme, you can add it to an existing site and use frontend editing to preview your layouts as you build them.
Best for
- News portals and online magazines
- Bloggers publishing lots of articles and videos
