About this product
Newspaper Theme 12.7.9 is a WordPress theme for news sites, online magazines and blogs that publish often and earn from ads, with room for a WooCommerce shop next to the articles. It suits editors and small publishers who want a news layout running fast from a pre-built website and then want to change headers, category pages and article templates themselves, without code. Local news portals, niche magazines, review blogs and hobby sites fit it well, and so do publishers whose readers mostly arrive on phones.
What's in the Newspaper Theme download
Our download is the original Newspaper theme ZIP for version 12.7.9, with the license key already activated. The theme ships with its frontend page builder, a separate mobile theme and widgets for weather, exchange rates, social counters and newsletter signup. The cloud template library is not inside the theme's files: its templates load from the developer's servers through the theme's cloud library plugin. Version 12.7.9 is a security release that fixes XSS vulnerabilities.
Good to know
Newspaper needs WordPress 6.5 or later, PHP 8.0 or greater and MySQL 5.7 or greater. The developer also asks for WP_MEMORY_LIMIT of at least 256M, max_input_vars of 2000 or more and max_execution_time of 60 or more. After activation, install the required plugins from the Welcome screen: when a pre-built website's Install button is grayed out, one of its plugins is missing. Imported demo content is removed when you switch pre-built websites, so copy any page you want to keep first.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the original file?
Yes. Every product on GPLGuide is the developer’s own release, unchanged. The license key comes already activated. If a product does ask for a key, the activation steps appear on its page once you have it.
Is it legal to use a GPL plugin or theme from GPLGuide?
Yes. WordPress plugins and themes are released under the GPL, which lets anyone use, share and change the code. The developer’s support desk and the developer’s own update service are not part of the file; those stay with the developer.
How do I install it?
Log in, open the product page and click Download under Your downloads. For a plugin go to Plugins, Add New Plugin, Upload Plugin, choose the ZIP, then Install Now and Activate. For a theme go to Appearance, Themes, Add New Theme, Upload Theme.
How do updates work?
When a newer version is listed on GPLGuide, download it from the product page and upload it over the installed copy; WordPress offers to replace the old version. Updates are manual.
Can I use it on more than one site?
Yes. The GPL lets you use it on as many of your own sites as you like.
What if the file does not work or a newer version is out?
Tell us on the Request Item page or through Support. We check the file and add the newer version when we have it.
