PAGES AND CATEGORIES

The theme offers a large number of elements and shortcodes, numerous large grid style combinations, ready-made category page templates and 25 predefined blocks. There are also five Flex Block elements that provide additional flexibility and allow you to publish and customize articles in a versatile way. You can emphasize the "above the fold" section by using large grids that are displayed across the entire width. Your website will have a professional look with its custom features such as image slider gallery, lightbox effects, social media counters, news ticker, video menus, and many different widgets.

The Tag-Div Composer recently introduced a Fonts Style tab that allows you to create custom typography for any existing block or element. You can combine nice fonts, size or line height. So the process is natural, without implying code knowledge, or additional font customization plugins to slow down your website's performance. Another handy tool is the Translation Panel, which helps you load one of the dozens of available translations and automatically convert a list of strings. Practically every other theme needs extra plugins for this.

INTELLIGENT ADVERTISEMENTS

In this Newspaper 12 review, we also caught sight of Tag-Div's modern ad system that allows you to monetize ads without compromising the reader's experience. You can easily earn money with your website by placing ads in the 18 permanent advertising spaces. These are in prominent places such as the header, footer, article, and sidebar areas. Moreover, the Newspaper theme comes with an option to display ads on individual posts or pages, using Tag-Div Composer's page editor and the Single Post Content or Ad Box elements. You can use AdSense or HTML code.

NEWSPAPER 11 REVIEW CONCLUSION

I would like to start by thanking you for reading my Newspaper 12 review to the end. We are dealing with one of the better themes for [2025]. It is not yet in my top 10 of the best Wordpress themes, but maybe that will change for next year.

Newspaper 12 has proven to be the best theme for blogs and news sites for me. Well there are other very good themes that are certainly close. Newspaper 12 is equipped with the WP Bakery Pagebuilder which is another thorn in my side. This is a good but very outdated page builder, it could be much better. Apart from that, I only see very good qualities for the rest. With this theme you can go in any direction. It is not only a news theme but just a multipurpose theme. The theme costs $ 59, a more or less standard price for good themes and the theme is definitely worth the money.
