Twelve designs
One theme. Every kind of newsroom.
Each design brings its own header, colours, fonts and front page. Switch any time in the Customizer — your stories stay as they are.
Newspaper Dark header, bold sans headlines and a dense front page — the classic daily.

Everything a newsroom needs. Included.
No paid extensions and no hunting for plugins: the theme and News. Core do the work together.
Premium & reader accounts
Premium articles behind a paywall, sold through WooCommerce as days of access. Readers sign in on the site itself, save stories for later and comment.
Breaking news, live
A breaking ticker, a live blog that updates while you type without saving the post, and web push notifications through OneSignal.
Markets, scores & weather
Currencies and crypto from free sources, no key needed, a scores bar for your matches, and a weather page with seven days and 14-day trends.
Video, Shorts & podcasts
Vertical Shorts in their own rail, video stories, and a podcast player with a mini player that remembers where the listener stopped.
Advertising that pays
Your own ad server for direct campaigns in every size, wallpaper takeovers, Google ads as fallback, and an advertising page for your sales team.
Newsletter, polls & contact
Newsletter sign-ups to WordPress or Mailchimp, polls with results and CSV export, and a contact desk where readers send tips.
AI help, with your own key
Captions, summaries and writing help right in the editor, with Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. You use your own key and only pay for what you use.
Fast, dark & translated
Light and dark mode for every design, critical CSS per page type, and WPML-ready strings for a site in any language.
