Description

The Newspaper Theme applies a news portal layout to the AMP pages generated by AMPforWP, organizing headlines in a grid, highlighted category blocks, a latest posts area, and a sidebar with AMP-compatible widgets. It is aimed at those who run news sites, digital magazines, and editorial blogs and need an accelerated mobile version with a journalistic visual identity without losing the section-based navigation structure.
