About Reader – News & Magazine Drupal Theme
Reader is a theme for the Drupal content management system, not for WordPress or an online shop. It is aimed at news, magazine and blog sites, and the store files it under blog, gallery, magazine and Drupal categories. Visitors find it by searching for Drupal magazine, news and newspaper themes.
A Drupal theme controls how the site looks: layout, typography, header, article lists and single-article pages. Content types, views and modules still come from Drupal itself. The listing doesn't state which Drupal version Reader targets, and that is the first thing to confirm, because Drupal themes are built for specific major versions and will not load on another.
The file on record dates from April 2020. Check the documentation in the package for the supported Drupal version, required modules and any demo content, and install it on a test copy of your site first.
Requirements
- A Drupal site (check the theme's documentation for the supported Drupal version)
Key features
- News and magazine design
- A layout intended for article-based sites such as news portals and blogs.
- Gallery category
- Also filed under gallery, so image-heavy content may be catered for; the listing doesn't detail it.
- Drupal theme package
- Installs as a theme in a Drupal site and is enabled from the Appearance screen.
- Blog use
- The legacy listing says it suits personal blogs and business sites too.
- ThemeForest origin
- Originally sold on ThemeForest, where themes normally include documentation.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Drupal sites that publish news, magazine or blog content
- Developers who want a themed starting point for a Drupal publication
Look elsewhere if
- WordPress, Shopify or PrestaShop sites, since this is a Drupal theme only
- Drupal sites on a major version the theme wasn't built for, which the listing doesn't state

Common problems and fixes
Blocks or menus don't appear where the demo shows them
- Why it happens

- How to fix it
- Open the block layout screen and place each block or menu into the theme's regions.
The theme appears but styles look unfinished after enabling
- Why it happens
- Drupal's cache holds old CSS, or a required module is missing.
