About Newspaper Press
Newspaper Press is a powerful WordPress theme built on the Di Magazine parent theme, designed for news websites, online magazines, and content-driven blogs. It adds a suite of presentation-layer features — all individually toggled from the WordPress Customizer — without modifying the parent theme: Breaking News Ticker — Display the latest headlines from any category in an eye-catching animated ticker strip at the top of every page. Customize the label, accent color, and number of posts. Reading Progress Bar — Keep readers engaged with a sleek progress bar that tracks scroll position on single posts. Adjustable color and height. Related Posts — Automatically surface relevant content below each post using category matching. Increase time-on-site and reduce bounce rate. Author Bio Box — Build trust and authority by displaying the post author's avatar, display name, and biography after each article. Dark Mode Toggle — Give readers a comfortable reading experience in low-light environments. The chosen mode persists across sessions via localStorage — no cookies, no server requests. Custom 404 Page — Replace the default error page with a branded 404 template that includes a search form and a grid of recent posts, keeping lost visitors on your site. All features are independently enable/disable-able under Appearance → Customize → Newspaper Press Options.

Why use a child theme for Newspaper Press?
Every time Newspaper Press ships an update, any direct edits you made to its files are overwritten. A child theme isolates your changes — custom CSS, template overrides, additional functions — so the parent can update freely while your customizations stay intact.
- ✓Survive Newspaper Press updates without losing your edits.
- ✓Override any Newspaper Press template file by copying it into the child.
- ✓Add custom hooks, shortcodes, or enqueue your own scripts.
- ✓Roll back to the parent at any time by deactivating the child.

Generate Newspaper Press Child ThemeFrequently asked questions
What is a Newspaper Press child theme? +
A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from Newspaper Press (its parent). You make your customizations in the child so they survive updates to the parent theme.
Do I need to know code to use this generator? +
No. The generator creates a complete, valid Newspaper Press child theme with style.css, functions.php, screenshot.png, and README.txt. You can customize via the form fields, and if you want to add custom CSS or PHP later you can edit the files directly.
Will the child theme break when Newspaper Press updates? +
That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. Newspaper Press can be updated freely without losing your customizations, because they live in the child theme files.
Is this generator really free? +
Yes. There is no signup, no payment, and no limit on how many Newspaper Press child themes you can generate. The zip is built on demand and downloaded directly to you.
