About Zox News – Professional WordPress News & Magazine 3.13.0

Zox News is a WordPress theme made for news sites and online magazines. The store files it under blog, magazine, newspaper and business categories. Its job is to give a publication a front page with featured stories and category sections, instead of a plain list of posts.

People also search for it as ZoxPress. The listing says little about its demos, widgets and settings, so use the documentation in the package to see what is included. A theme controls the design only. Your posts, categories and media stay in WordPress.

The package is about 22 megabytes. The file on record is version 3.13.0, and the listed date, 02-01-2022, points to early 2022. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site before launch.

Key features

News and magazine design
Built for publications with many articles across several categories.
Blog and newspaper use
Filed under blog, magazine and newspaper categories, so it suits editorial sites of different sizes.
Multipurpose categories
Also listed as multipurpose and business, so it can carry other page types.
Premium theme package
A full theme zip that you upload and activate as a theme.
Demo and settings guidance
The listing doesn't detail them, so use the documentation in the package.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

  • Independent news sites and online magazines
  • Bloggers who publish many articles and want a magazine-style front page

Look elsewhere if

  • Online shops; the listing doesn't mention a store layout
  • Sites that need a minimal portfolio or single-page design

How to install Zox News – Professional WordPress News & Magazine 3.13.0

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Upload it to WordPress

    Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.

  4. 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 name bundled or required plugins. Install any plugins the theme asks for after activation, before importing a demo.

Getting started: using Zox News – Professional WordPress News & Magazine 3.13.0

  1. Activate the theme and its plugins. Activate Zox News and install the plugins listed in any notice that appears.
  2. Read the documentation. Open the package documentation to see the homepage setup, widgets and ad areas it offers.
  3. Set up categories and menus. Create the categories you will publish in and assign them to your main menu.
  4. Build the front page. Use the theme's settings or widgets to choose which stories and sections appear on the home page.
  5. Test speed and mobile. Check the home page and an article on a phone, then test loading speed.

Common problems and fixes

The home page doesn't look like the demo
Why it happens
The demo uses its own posts, images and widget layout, which come from setup rather than the theme files.
How to fix it
Add your own posts and set up the home page sections as described in the documentation.
“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.
