What it does
Running a news or magazine site means publishing a steady stream of stories and presenting them in a way readers can scan quickly. This theme is designed around that job. It offers 8 article layouts and 5 featured post styles, sticky featured videos and headlines for top stories, and auto load posts so readers move to the next article without clicking back. Infinite scroll keeps feeds loading as visitors browse, and the design is responsive and retina ready for phones, tablets and desktops.
Setup starts with a one-click demo import that brings in templates, dummy data and configurations. From there, a theme options panel controls color schemes, layouts and custom CSS, and you can choose from over 900 Google Fonts. The theme supports Google AMP, Schema.org rich snippets, unlimited ad units and Google Adsense. It works with Gutenberg, bbPress and WooCommerce, embeds YouTube, Vimeo and SoundCloud media, and is translation and RTL ready for multilingual publications.
