Features
What the theme can do
Magazine home page
Main story, numbered editor’s picks, a topics strip, latest posts, newsletter and featured category sections — all toggled in the Customizer.
Long-read typography
Comfortable line length, drop cap, lead paragraph, big quotes, notes, captions, wide and full-width images.
Automatic table of contents
Posts with three or more subheadings get a table of contents: in the margin on desktop with the current section highlighted, collapsed on mobile.
Reading time and progress
“6 min read” on cards and posts, plus a thin progress bar at the top of the page.
Live search
The search window opens with / or ⌘K and shows results with photos as you type. Works per language.
Dark mode
Follows the device setting, and the header switch remembers the reader’s choice. No white flash on load.
Load more
More posts load on the home page, categories, tags, author pages and search without a page reload.
Authors and related posts
Author box with photo and bio, author pages, “Read next” from the same category, previous and next posts.
Newsletter
A subscribe form on the home page, in posts and in the footer. Connects to Mailchimp, Sendpulse, MailerLite or any other service without plugins.
Multilingual
Polylang-ready: language switcher, menus and categories per language, translatable theme texts. English and Ukrainian out of the box.
SEO basics included
Open Graph tags, BlogPosting schema and meta descriptions. If Yoast or Rank Math is active, the theme steps aside.
Fast and clean
A classic theme with no jQuery or page builders: one CSS and one small JS file. Block editor styles and 6 custom block styles.

FAQ
FAQ
Which WordPress versions are supported?
WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 7.4–8.3. Tested on WordPress 6.8.
Do I need Elementor or another builder?
No. The home page is built from your posts and set up in the Customizer; posts are written in the regular block editor.
Can the site be multilingual?
Yes. The theme works with Polylang: separate menus, categories and texts per language. English and Ukrainian are included; I add other languages on request.
Is it only for travel blogs?
No, the demo topic is just an example. Palette, fonts, home page sections and texts are changed in the settings without code.
Will you help move my blog?
Installation and basic setup are included. Migrating posts from another platform (Blogger, Medium, Tilda) or custom design changes are quoted separately.
