  • Featured images for every category: You can link an image with every category of the site. This image is displayed on the top of the category site.
  • Video covers for posts (version 1.2.2+): You can upload a video file to display it in the place of the featured image of the post. Check it out (In this case its a mp4 video so with Google Chrome better. No mobile).
  • Category templates: Literatum includes two different templates expandable for future upgrades. You can easily set up the design you want to display the items in every different category of the site.
