What it does
Running a publication on WordPress means organizing a steady flow of articles so readers can find them, while leaving room for ads and other site sections. This theme is built around that job. It offers flexible page and post layouts, support for multiple post formats and a responsive design that adapts from desktop screens to phones. It suits e-magazines, travel blogs, food recipe sites, fashion publications and personal editorial journals, so you can shape the look to your niche and brand.
Beyond articles, the theme works with several well-known plugins. WooCommerce lets you add a shop to your magazine or blog, BuddyPress and bbPress add social communities and forums, WPML handles multilingual sites and TablePress covers data tables. Pre-designed ad spots give you places for Google AdSense and similar networks, and schema microdata is included in the markup. Retina ready support keeps images and graphics sharp on high-resolution screens.
