What it does
Running a content-heavy site means arranging a lot of posts in a way readers can follow. Extra handles this with a category builder that uses post-based modules such as Post Feed, Post Carousel, Tabbed Posts and Masonry layouts. You decide how each category page presents its articles, and you can design individual posts and pages with the same drag and drop tools. The theme is responsive, so layouts adapt to desktop, tablet and mobile screens.
The Divi Builder sits at the center of the theme, with over 40 content modules suited to magazine-style sites and access to over 800 pre-made layouts. Fonts, colors and spacing are adjusted through design settings, and custom CSS is available when you want finer control. Extra also adds a built-in rating and review system for articles, portfolio modules for creative work, and WooCommerce support with styling that matches the theme, so a publication can sell products alongside its content.
Best for
- Bloggers who publish frequently across many categories
- Online magazines and news portals
- Publications that want to sell products with WooCommerce
