Paper Plane Theme GPL – Modern WordPress Blog Theme Features:
9 Beautifully Designed Demos in One Theme
Thanks to our signature feature, the Demo Switcher, you may apply a new demo any time without affecting your content. If you feel bored with one of the demos, simply apply a new one and get a completely different appearance of your blog or magazine.
Dark Mode
Turn on Dark Mode for a great viewing experience, especially in low-light environments.
Dark Mode is a dramatic new look that’s easy on your eyes and helps you focus on the content. It uses a dark color scheme and is activated automatically based on the browser’s preferred settings or manually with a toggle.
Turn on Dark Mode to give your eyes a break.
Smart Colors
When you select a dark background color for your header or footer, the text and links color will automatically change to white. You don’t need to set up a lot of color options, as most of them will work automatically based on your selection.
Customize with Instant Live Preview
All theme options can be configured with the native WordPress customize feature. Forget the outdated settings pages and manually refresh your page to see the changes. Preview all the changes live while configuring your perfect blog or media.
We have added styles for the AMP pages to match the main styles of your website. Simply activate the official WordPress AMP plugin to enable Google Accelerated Mobile Pages on your website.
Google Fonts
Create different styles with 800+ Google Fonts supported. Simply select the desired font from the dropdown and preview it instantly on your website – no more confusing CSS rules or code snippets.
Additional Content
Ever wanted to place an ad spot underneath your header? A subscribe form below post content? With our signature feature you may insert any content into different template parts without changing template files or overriding templates with a child theme.
Smart Sticky Navigation
Increase mobile users’ viewport by displaying the main navigation only when they scroll up. Or force the menu to stay sticky all the time. Or disable the feature completely, it’s up to you! Enable either of the three options in theme settings with a single click.
Sticky Sidebar
Make your widgets sticky when scrolling the page. Select from two options: either stick to the bottom edge of your sidebar or the top edge of the last widget. Increase your ad’s conversion by setting the ad as your last widget and selecting the latter option. Unlike other themes’ sticky sidebars, ours is enabled and doesn’t flicker on tablets or mobiles. By using the native browser’s sticky positioning, we created a sticky sidebar that animates gorgeously not only on desktops but on mobiles too.
Paginated Posts
Divide your posts into multiple pages and add properly styled pagination at the bottom of your posts.
Guest Authors and Multi-Author Posts with Co-Authors Plus Support
Involve guest authors without creating separate user accounts or add multiple authors per post with the integrated Co-Authors Plus plugin support. All post authors, including contributors and guest authors, can have social accounts and a bio too.
RTL
Built-in support for RTL (right-to-left) languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Persian or any other RTL written language.
Post Views with Google Analytics synchronization
Display number of post views among other post meta with the integrated post views support.
Post Reading Time
Easily add post-reading time to encourage your users. The reading time is calculated automatically based on the average reading speed of an adult.
Retina-Ready
Your website will look amazing on Retina screens thanks to vector scalable elements, clear Retina-ready images, and typography.
Adaptive Optimized Image Sizes
A small number of generated thumbnails will save your disk storage space on your hosting provider and make the thumbnail regeneration process quick.
We never downscale images and serve them in the original size or close to it, so that users will not download more than they need. Google likes optimized image sizes too.
Ultra Responsive
We tested our theme on multiple physical devices and emulators to make sure we deliver the best quality.
Feature-Rich, yet Simple
Despite a lot of great built-in features, it’s extremely easy to use. All options support live preview, and you may instantly see all the changes before saving them.
We made sure that all theme options and features are seamlessly blended into the WordPress user interface and feel very natural and intuitive.
Of course, no coding is required to setup up your website.
Live Search Results
Get instant search results while you type the search request and easily navigate between them with keyboard support.
Built-in Styles for WordPress Galleries
The default WordPress galleries (or the shortcode) will look nice right out-of-the-box thanks to the integrated gallery styles.
Related Posts
Increase the page per visit ratio by enabling recent posts beneath your single posts. Related posts will appear automatically, as soon as there’re enough posts in the same category.
Optimized CSS without Dependencies
There’re no dependencies (for example Bootstrap), so no extra bloat or third-party assets. Your users and Google will love the loading time of your website pages.
Coded with WordPress Coding Standards
WordPress Coding Standards help developers maintain a consistent style so that the code is clean and easy to read at a glance. We keep it in mind when writing code for our WordPress themes.
Super-Fast
Enjoy the fast browsing experience with performance optimization. We check our theme with the Query Monitor plugin to avoid excessive requests to your database.
Google Structured Data Support
We make sure that the structured data is correct by adding special classes to elements. It helps Google understand your content better and rank your website higher.
Built with Hooks & Developer Friendly
There’re numerous actions and filters, which enable you to hook into theme functions from a child theme to create awesome custom solutions for your clients and make the website update safe.
Translation-Ready
There’s a .pot file, included with the theme, that allows you to use POEdit or Loco Translate to easily translate our theme into your native language.
WPML and Polylang compatible
Would you like to have a multilingual website for a broader audience? Our theme supports both WPML and Polylang plugins and allows the creation of a multilingual website in no time.
Numerous Ads and Banner Spots with built-in AdSense Support
Easily monetize your blog with versatile ads and banner spots available right in the WordPress Customize section. Place your ads or banner snippets in several predefined template locations without ever touching the template code.
One-Click Demo Import
Feeling like you need a change in your website design? Apply a different demo anytime, even if you have existing content, without getting numerous duplicate copies of dummy posts and pages.
