Wordpress Magazine themes

Jamie101 · Jul 19, 2013

Thinking about starting a new site over the weekend, but firstly I need to find a nice Wordpress magazine type theme. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I know of a few but would be nice to see what other people think. Would like if the theme a "trending" widget or something similar just like on this site.

The site will be about mobile phone news and maybe some reviews if it makes any difference

Looking to build my first site that's based around a brand!

Thanks. Never thought of using StudioPress actually. Will check out their themes now, from what I've seen so far they are very nice.

This one looks nice. Seems you can do reviews on it also.

That is quite nice - thanks.

Just had a quick look around on Theme Forest and spotted this theme. I really like it and it even looks like it has an option to do review pages.

I'm in the process of testing out http://reportage.wp-theme.pro/ which you can get from themeforest.

Hope that helps.

Be aware that elegant themes will charge you a licence fee annually and their support is virtually non existent.

I made the mistake of using them for a couple of customer websites and I wished I hadn't.
