PHLOX THEME (Newspaper vs Phlox)

Phlox is pre-eminently a WP-Elementor Theme...

Phlox Theme review


In this Phlox Theme review we check out the many great features that Phlox has. I think they copied a bit from Divi and deliver more or less the same though Divi is of course in a class of its own. The Phlox Pro Theme is sold through their own website and also through another marketplace. It is also downloadable as a free version from Wordpress.org.

PHLOX THEME REVIEW: RATING

Phlox theme review rating


When we check Phlox's rating on Wordpress.org, we see that most raters gave 5 stars on a couple of haters after that. The image above also shows that the theme has now been installed on more than 40,002+ websites. That is a high number for a relatively new theme.

PHLOX THEME REVIEW: DEMOS

Phlox Theme review demos


The Phlox theme offers a series of beautiful demos that can be installed with 1 click. The choice is already huge. I saw a list of 170+ demos that can be installed with 1 click. Phlox is a real Elementor Theme, so all these denos can be edited with Elementor. The theme also has no less than 40+ special Woocommerce demos, which is absolutely great.

The nice thing about demos is that you can make a quick start with them. The website is already but with the wrong photos and texts in principle. So place your logo in it, adjust texts and photos and you are well on your way to having your own site.


PHLOX THEME REVIEW: WEBSHOPS

I just said it, 40+ demos for webshops, amazing and very nice design. The theme is 100% compatible with Woocommerce and offers all possible features that are available for shops. I will soon put Phlox in my top 10 for webshop themes because it is really one of the best themes to build a shop with.

When we talk about the real shopping area, where shopping is paid, it looks very professional. Attention has been paid to this and you have all kinds of different of these beautiful layouts.

EDD Support, Amazon Vender, Quick View, Multi-Vendor, the Phlox Theme gives you it all and much more. Even for an elite theme it is not necessary to offer all this. Again, something they put a lot of effort into.


PHLOX: SPEED

Phlox Theme review laadtijden


The Phlox theme is one of the fastest themes out there for Wordpress, although it just doesn't make it to my list for fastest WP-themes. The bare theme with no extra plugins with just a well-configured cache plugin produced the result presented above. Of course you can optimize your website yourself for loading time. Follow this tutorial here.


PHLOX THEME REVIEW: PAGEBUILDERS

Phlox Theme review Elementor pagebuilder


The Phlox theme is one of the best so called Elementor Themes out there. In addition, it also offers the well-known Bakery-Pagebuilder as an encore for free. Above is the Elementor pagebuilder in action in Phlox.


PHLOX: PORTFOLIOS

As for Portfolios, it's all beautiful too. With Phlox one can build a great portfolio website.

PHLOX THEME REVIEW: HEADER LAY-OUTS

Phlox Theme review Header Layouts


There is a choice of 12 different header layouts. There is also such a choice for footer layouts, although I will not give a screenshot of that.

PHLOX: HEADER EFFECTS

Phlox Theme review Header Effects


I say header again, we are not talking about the header bar but the sliders in the header that can be equipped with videos and parallax. Very suitable for making a website look good.

PHLOX: ANIMATIONS

Phlox Theme review Header Effects


Just like Divi, it even offers quite a few animations, it all contributes to making your website look perfectly professional.

PHLOX: MORE FEATURES

Phlox is just a great theme and has many more features. I can certainly recommend that you take a look at the rest on their own site via the button at the bottom of this article.

PHLOX THEME REVIEW: CONCLUSION

I can immediately say that I am impressed by the quality, the many features, and the many demos of Phlox. They really did their best to create a complete theme that works great and is suitable for every type of website and they succeeded. If you would buy their pro version, do so via their own site and not via Themeforest, that way they earn more and Themeforest is best avoided anyway because of suspicious practices.

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.

NEWSPAPER 11 REVIEW CONCLUSION

We are dealing with one of the better themes for [2024]. 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.

PHLOX VS NEWSPAPER CONCLUSION

First of all, thank you for reading this Phlox vs Newspaper comparison to the end. Both of these themes load quickly and are both great for creating sites, blogs and web shops. Phlox comes with the Elementor page builder free version, upgrading to Elementor Pro is definitely recommended. Newspaper has with the the TagDiv-Composer also a good page builder. Both themes are recommended if you want to build 1 single website.

The problem these themes have is that there are much better themes like Astra and Divi who also be sold at more attractive prices. Before you decide, I recommend that you read my best themes for [2024].
