About Theme Junkie Channel WordPress Theme 1.2.0
Channel is a magazine theme from Theme Junkie, made for building a news portal. The listing is a single sentence and the store files it under blog, news and magazine. That fits a layout built around featured stories, category sections and article lists rather than a business brochure site.
The file on record is version 1.2 from September 2017, which is old. The listing doesn't state the layouts, widgets or plugins involved, so read the documentation in the package, and test the theme with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site before using it on a live publication.
Key features
- News portal theme
- The listing describes it as a way to create your own news portal.
- Magazine layout
- Filed under blog, news and magazine themes.
- From Theme Junkie
- Part of a Theme Junkie range that includes other news and magazine themes.
- Details not listed
- The listing doesn't state widgets, demos or page templates, so confirm them in the documentation.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Small news sites and online magazines
- Blogs that publish many articles across several categories
Look elsewhere if
- Online shops, since the listing doesn't mention WooCommerce
- Sites that need a modern page-builder workflow, which the listing doesn't mention
How to install Theme Junkie Channel WordPress Theme 1.2.0
- 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.
Getting started: using Theme Junkie Channel WordPress Theme 1.2.0
- Install on a staging copy. Because the file dates from 2017, activate it on a staging site first.
- Read the documentation. Check the package for theme options, widget areas and the home page setup.
- Create categories and posts. Add your categories and a handful of posts with featured images so the home sections have content.
- Set menus and widgets. Build the main menu and fill the widget areas, then check the layout on a phone.
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.
