  1. @Ferdy Korpershoek – Undoubtedly, great video tutorial on Newspaper theme ever. I would request you to recreate another video on this theme. Presently, this theme is upgraded to version 11.

  2. Thanks for awesome videos! I would like if you make one video for only blog posts for newspaper theme? Like, how to make big forum, how logins work and user settings and all kind of things like forum where you can login

  3. Question — first of all this is the greatest theme and video for WordPress ever.

    My desktop and tablet version has the header background color as white. But my mobile color won't change from black. How can I fix this?

  4. Hi Ferdy, thanks again for this tutorial. I have a problem with my contact page. When I go to the tag composer and click on edit the wp editor doesn't come up it's just loading. I've got nowhere to put the wp form code. How can I fix this my contact page is a mess but the rest of the site looks great

  5. Hey Ferdy, I remember that you commented about 8-9 months ago that a new updated "How to Create a Blog or News Website | Newspaper Theme" video tutorial was soon to be completed and released – any updates as to when? Thanks for all your great work!

  6. Hallo Ferdy, allereerst bedankt voor deze zeer leerrijke video. Ik ben bezig met het bouwen van een blogwebsite met de magazine pro theme maar ik vind nergens terug waar ik de header kan wijzigen. Waarschijnlijk door een update van wordpress zit deze functie ergens anders verstopt. Wanneer ik naar theme panel ga krijg ik alleen dit: logo & favicon, sign in / join en ios bookmarklet.

  7. Hi Ferdy, thank you so much you’re such a darling. Could you also do a tutorial on how to have one website with multiple languages please ? I need to have a French and English website on the same website and people just need to choose English or French

  8. I used a theme before for my blog but i was denied AdSense , I checked and I found I had a lot of dublicate content some of which I didn't create ,,, will this theme not give me problems in AdSense approval??

  9. Thank you very much for this, i will be surely create a site like this for my organisation which I work for, it's a magazine site. One thing i need to know how can the older publications be archived? And go back to a perticular edition of needed? Appreciate your support.

  10. Great Video & Brilliant production. The background score in the OVERVIEW time block is setting the entire mood for giving it a try. Amazing content design. Subscribed with BELL icon. Thanks brother for such great content!

  11. I already have a site. Is there anyway I Can insert my newsletter, not email newsletter but like a schoolblad of zo, in my site? Is hat possible?
