What it does
Running a news or magazine site means handling a lot of content at once: breaking stories, product reviews, longer tech pieces and category archives. This theme gives that content a tidy, readable home. Its homepage is assembled with the BKNinja Composer plugin, which works with modular sections you drag into place. You can mix and reorder blocks of posts to suit your editorial focus, and the layout adjusts to desktops, tablets and phones.
To get started quickly, you can import one of several pre-built demos with a single click and then swap in your own posts and branding. Writing happens in the Gutenberg block editor, which the theme supports. For readers, mega menus display posts right inside category menus, and Ajax loading pulls in more articles without a page refresh, either through a load more option or infinite scrolling.
Best for
- Technology news sites and tech blogs
- Online magazines covering current events
- Product review and trending gadget websites
