What it does
A default WordPress theme often shows posts as a simple list, which can feel flat on a site that publishes many stories a day. This plugin gives you 39 layouts to choose from, plus 10 post display types with 20 layout variations and 5 header post display types with 10 layout options. You can build a front page with a featured header area, grouped story blocks and a scrolling breaking news ticker, so readers can see what is new at a glance.
Everything is placed with shortcodes, so you can drop a layout into a page or post without writing code. Custom color options let you match the displays to your branding, and 8 custom widgets, such as recent posts and popular topics, fill out sidebars and footers. The layouts are responsive and retina ready, and the plugin ships with .po and .mo files for translation. Video tutorials are included to help you learn the options.
