New: Elementor integration
Another top theme that has chosen to cooperate with the Elementor page builder. Not a bad idea because Elementor is of course one of the best pagebuilders out there for WP. Definitely an improvement for the theme. It is nevertheless best to upgrade to the PRO version of Elementor.
The7 demo-websites
The7 has more than 40 ready-made demo websites that can be installed with one click. You will find several beautiful lay-ous for every conceivable niche from which you can start your new site. Adjust the images, texts et cetera to quickly achieve your own style.
The7 review: 1000+ theme options?
The-7 theme is one of the most versatile you can imagine. I have not checked them, but according to Dream-Theme, The7 has more than 1000+ theme options and 250+ page options as shown in the image below.
Shortcodes
The theme uses a full version of the WP Bakery pagebuilder, this plug-in takes care of the use of the short codes. This sought after pagebuilder costs a whopping 64 dollars. In The7 there are almost $ 200 worth of extra third-party plug-ins. In principle, one should always keep theme and shortcodes separate from each other. In this way the shortcodes still work after installing a new theme. With The7 this is not possible unless you purchase the plug-in separately later for $ 64. Adding shortcodes via the WP Bakery pagebuilder is very simple on the other hand.
Extra plug-ins
As a writer of this The-7 review, I was also impressed by the many free plug-ins in the theme. So this concerns the WP Bakery pagebuilder, but also the best add-on for it: Ultimate Add-ons. Furthermore you get Convert Plus (Pop-ups), Go Pricing and Slider Revolution 6. The Slider plug-in is my favorite when it comes to sliders and works extremely accurately, you can set the slides for all devices such as laptop or mobile.
Design Wizzard
Something few premium themes even offer is a Wizzard that lets you set all sorts of things such as header, footer, logo and so on. This is of course perfect for people who have never created a website, you can forget so little.
Import functions
The import function lets you install complete demo websites complete with images and slides. But the Importer is also able to import a single page of a demo via the URL you specified. You can use a few pages of different demos in your own design. Most themes that I know cannot do this.
Compatible with WPML
Ready for translation with WPML with which you can create multilingual websites. The theme itself is already available in 10 different languages so you do not have to translate these languages yourself, only your own content.
The theme is compatible with all known plug-ins including for example: WooCommerce, WPML, Yoast SEO, All in One WP Migration, W3 Total Cache and more.
The7 theme review final words
There is about this beautiful theme which is practically always discounted and available for only $ 39 much more to tell of course. But if your interest is aroused, you can use the button below to take a look at the theme page on Themeforest where everything is explained in scents and colors.

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.

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 [2023]. It is not yet in my top 10 of the best Wordpress themes, but maybe that will change for next year. Newspaper 11 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 11 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.
NEWSPAPER VS THE7 CONCLUSION
First of all thank you for reading this Newspaper vs The7 comparison till the end. Both themes are 100% compatible with Elementor page builder, which is great, although both themes also offer options for other page builders. If you have the money to install Elementor Pro I would do, the difference between free and pro is very big. The7 is a multipurpose theme with a lot of settings, one has to love this, some hate it because sometimes things are so hard to find. Newspaper loads a lot faster than The7 and is also very versatile and easy to customize. Both themes are definitely worth their money if it is bad for 1 single website.
In case you want to provide 2 or more websites with a theme, I advise against both these themes because then it will be much too expensive since a separate expensive license will be needed for each website. In that case, you're much better off Astra or Divi as it saves you money on multiple sites. In addition, these latter themes are ranked higher in my top 10 themes for [2023] than The7 and Newspaper.
