What it does
News and magazine sites carry a lot of content, and readers need to find it quickly on any screen. This theme handles that with responsive layouts, wide and boxed site styles, and a smart sticky sidebar that keeps widgets in view as people scroll. A one-click demo importer lets you start from a ready layout and swap in your own stories, which makes it easier to get a publication running.
Page building runs through Visual Composer, which is included and offers 60+ content elements, plus 25+ custom page builder components made for news and magazine layouts. A theme options panel controls colors, fonts and layouts. The theme also works with Gutenberg, WPML, UberMenu and WooCommerce, and it supports right-to-left languages, so it fits multilingual publications and sites that want to sell products alongside their content.
Best for
- Digital newspapers and news portals
- Online magazines and content-heavy blogs
- Review and publishing sites in multiple languages

Questions about Pressroom
Do I need to know how to code to build pages with this theme?
No. Pressroom includes the Visual Composer drag and drop builder with 60+ content elements and 25+ custom components for news layouts. Colors, fonts and layouts are set through a theme options panel, so most design work happens without touching code.
Can I add a shop to my magazine site?
Yes. The theme is compatible with WooCommerce, so you can add e-commerce features such as a product store alongside your articles while keeping the same design across the site.
Does it work for sites in more than one language?
It does. The theme is compatible with WPML for multilingual content and includes right-to-left language support, which makes it suitable for publications serving readers in languages that read right to left.
Can I use the block editor instead of the page builder?
The theme is compatible with Gutenberg, so you can write and edit content in the WordPress block editor. Visual Composer remains available when you want to build more complex page layouts.
Is Pressroom free?
The code of Pressroom is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Pressroom is this?
Version 7.7, released Sep 19, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.

Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Pressroom automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
