About The Writer – Modern WordPress Blog Theme
The Writer is a WordPress theme for blogs. The store files it under Blog, Multi-Purpose, Premium Theme and Blog News Magazine, so it fits writing-led sites and could stretch to a magazine layout. The listing gives no version number for the file.
Beyond the categories the listing says nothing about layouts, demos or bundled plugins. Read the documentation in the package before you plan a build. The file on record dates from September 2018, so test it with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site before using it on a live blog.
Key features
- Blog-first theme
- Filed under Blog and Blog News Magazine, so posts are the main content type.
- Multi-purpose category
- Also listed as multi-purpose, which suggests it can carry non-blog pages; the listing doesn't state how.
- Modern styling
- Named a modern blog theme, though the listing gives no design details.
- Documentation in the package
- Layout options, demos and widgets are not listed; check the files in the download.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Writers and bloggers who want a theme built around posts
- Small magazine-style sites that don't need advanced features
Look elsewhere if
- Online shops, since the listing doesn't mention WooCommerce layouts
- Sites that need a documented list of demos before buying, as the listing doesn't give one
How to install The Writer – Modern WordPress Blog Theme
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Find the installable theme zip
Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.
- 3
Upload it to WordPress
Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.
- 4
Install the recommended plugins
Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.
Notes for this product
- The listing doesn't state companion plugins. If an install notice asks for any, install them before importing demo content.
Getting started: using The Writer – Modern WordPress Blog Theme
- Test on a staging copy. Install and activate the theme on staging first, because the file dates from 2018.
- Read the documentation. Open the documentation in the package to see its layouts, widget areas and options.
- Set the blog page and menus. Choose your posts page, assign menus and set the site logo in the Customizer.
- Publish test posts. Add a few posts with images and check the archive, single post and mobile views.
Common problems and fixes
“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
- Why it happens
- The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.
Demo import stops part-way or times out
- Why it happens
- The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
- How to fix it
- Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.
Pages look broken right after activating
- Why it happens
- The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
- How to fix it
- Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.
