Appearance and Theme Customization

Dark Mode

Turn on Dark Mode for a great viewing experience especially in low-light environments. Dark Mode is a dramatic new look that’s easy on your eyes and helps you focus on the content. It uses a dark color scheme and is activated automatically based on the browser’s preferred settings or manually with a toggle. Turn on Dark Mode to give your eyes a break.

Multiple Page Header Types

There are different page header types for your posts and pages. Display your featured posts’ header with an image overlay or a smaller page header.

Smart Colors

When you select a dark background color for your header or footer, the text and links color will automatically change to white. You don’t need to set up a lot of color option, as most of them will work automatically based on your selection.

Customize with Instant Live Preview

All theme options can be configured with the native WordPress customize feature. Forget the outdated settings pages and manually refreshing your page to see the changes. Preview all the changes live while configuring your perfect online media.

Layout Options

Multiple Archive Layouts for Homepage and Archive Pages

Choose from different post archive layouts for your homepage and archive pages. Display your posts in grid, list, or full layouts.

Multiple Page Layouts

Select the matching page layout for your homepage, archives, posts, and pages. Display a sidebar on either the left or right side or use the full-width page layout for your content.

Navigation and Menus

Super-Fast Mega-Menu

Showcase your recent posts with a thumbnail right in the menu dropdown. Don’t worry, the menu will not slow down your website, as the content is requested dynamically, only when a user hovers over the parent menu item.

Smart Multi-Level Menu

It’s you who decides how to structure your content. Our theme supports unlimited levels in your main menu. If there’s not enough space in the viewport to display a dropdown submenu, it will appear on the opposite side instead. And it supports mobile touch devices, too.

Mobile Slide-Out Menu with Widgets

Display the mobile menu upon clicking the hamburger icon on mobile devices. You may also place social links, subscription form, Facebook fan page or any other widget on your mobile menu, just as in a regular sidebar.

Paginated Posts

Divide your posts into multiple pages and add properly styled pagination at the bottom of your posts.

Performance, SEO, and Accessibility

AMP Support

We have added styles for the AMP pages to match the main styles of your website. Simply activate the official WordPress AMP plugin to enable Google Accelerated Mobile Pages on your website.

Exclude Duplicate Posts

Everybody knows, and Google, in particular, that duplicate content is bad. Avoid having duplicate content on your homepage by excluding featured posts from the main archive with a single click.

Google Fonts

Create different styles with 800+ Google Fonts supported. Simply select the desired font from the dropdown and preview it instantly on your website – no more confusing CSS rules or code snippets.

Post Views with Google Analytics synchronization

Display number of post views among other post meta with the integrated post views support.

Post Reading Time

Easily add post reading time to encourage your users. The reading time is calculated automatically based on the average reading speed of an adult.

Retina-Ready

Your website will look amazing on Retina screens thanks to vector scalable elements, clear Retina-ready images, and typography.

Adaptive Optimized Image Sizes

A small number of generated thumbnails will save your disk storage space on your hosting provider and make the thumbnail regeneration process quick. We never downscale images and serve them in the original size or close to it, so that users will not download more than they need. Google likes optimized image sizes too.

Ultra Responsive

We tested our theme on multiple physical devices and emulators to make sure we deliver the best quality.

SEO by Yoast Support including Breadcrumbs Styles

Activate breadcrumbs, a powerful SEO addition to your website, with a single click in SEO using Yoast plugin and it will automatically appear in the right place with the right styles.

Google Structured Data Support

We make sure that the structured data is correct by adding special classes to elements. It helps Google understand your content better and rank your website higher.

Translation-Ready; WPML and Polylang compatible

There’s a .pot file, included with the theme, that allows you to use POEdit or Loco Translate to easily translate our theme into your native language. The theme supports both WPML and Polylang plugins for multilingual websites.

Content, Social, and Advertising Features

Additional Content

Ever wanted to place an ad spot underneath your header? Or a short description before the featured posts section on your homepage? A subscribe form below post content? With our signature feature you may insert any content into different template parts without changing template files or overriding templates with a child theme.

Numerous Ads and Banner Spots with built-in AdSense Support

Easily monetize your media with versatile ads and banner spots available right in the WordPress Customize section. Place your ads or banner snippets in several predefined template locations without ever touching the template code.

Share Buttons

Make your content go viral by enabling share buttons on single post pages. There’re three locations available: before and after post content and in the floating post sidebar for better user engagement. Choose between different social accounts and customize the order. Enable share counts for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest; counts are fetched dynamically via REST API.

Social Links

Help your visitors easily find and follow you on social media with built-in social links with counters. Integrate social accounts into your header, footer, and sidebar widgets. Multiple layouts and color schemes are available, with dynamic follower counts.

Facebook Integration

Easily embed and promote any Facebook fan page on your website by placing it in your sidebar or post content. Replace WordPress comments with Facebook comments widget if desired.

Pinterest Integration

Let your users pin images from your media to their Pinterest boards by adding Pin It buttons on all single images and galleries, with captions supported.

Twitter Integration

Embed your Twitter feed in a widget or post content via a shortcode.

Instagram Integration

Opt-in Forms

Integrate subscription forms on your website and grow your subscribers’ list. The MailChimp module supports one-click subscriptions via AJAX and the MailChimp API. Add a caption regarding personal data and make the opt-in form GDPR compatible.

Typography, Galleries, and Visual Content

Enhance your media site or magazine design by adding support for Typekit fonts. Control your fonts right in the WordPress customize section with live preview. No more CSS selectors or custom code for your Typekit fonts.

Usage Notes, Documentation, and External Considerations

Disclaimer and Adobe Fonts

Some demos use Adobe Fonts (formerly Typekit). If Adobe Fonts fonts aren’t available, they will be substituted with default fonts or Google Fonts. See our documentation for more details.

Site-Specific Options

While demo content mirrors the demos closely, a few site-specific settings require manual configuration for convenience (social accounts, widgets, and other options).

Image Credits

The sample images viewed in the live preview are for demo purposes only and are not included with your purchase. Images may be provided by Shutterstock or licensed under GPL & Creative Commons.

Landing Page

The starting preview is a landing page to promote the product and showcase different demos. It’s not included in the theme.

Page Speed

The page speed score is for reference and depends on the selected demo, theme, server configuration, and content. Some features may impact load times.

External Service Providers

Some features rely on external service providers (social counts, feeds, etc.). These are beyond the control of the theme and should not be the sole basis for a purchase decision.
