StudioPress News Pro Theme Review: Best Publication Theme?

A few days back, we have got shared the Magazine Pro theme review. Magazine Pro is an awesome Genesis child theme when you re creating an online magazine. I know that some folks are also creating an online publication.

It can be a news website which is optimized for Google news or local readers. All you need to consider is, use a theme which is specially built for news websites. There are so many WordPress themes for an online publication available. As a Genesis Framework and StudioPress lover, I will always use and recommend Genesis child themes.

There’s one theme is which is optimized for news websites. The name of the theme is News Pro.

In this post, we are going to show you the complete StudioPress News Pro review and why you need the theme.

StudioPress Genesis News Pro Review

Why are we writing this review? Is it a paid one? Will StudioPress pays us for writing this review? What’s the catch?

There will be too many questions. But, here’s the deal.

Let me point out that this is not a sponsored post or paid listing. At this time, we are not accepting paid reviews and this one is from the real user experience. Yes. I have tried the News Pro theme personally.

Now let’s look in the theme features which you will love.

Is News Pro Free?

No!

News Pro is a premium Genesis child theme made by StudioPress. At this time, they do not have a free version theme or typically, they don’t offer coupon codes. So, you might want to pay the full amount for the theme.

News Pro Is Responsive

In 2019, you must consider using a responsive WordPress theme on your blog or website. Folks are browsing through a mobile phone every time. So choosing a responsive design will help you a lot.

Mainly if you are running a news website.

Optimized For Ads

Most publications are making money online by using Google AdSense, Media.net ads and other display ads. if you are planning to, this theme is highly optimized for ads.

Got an ad widget in the header right.

It’s a great spot for adding Media.net ads. You will get higher Media.net RPM in that case.

WooCommerce Ready

Do you want to run an online store using WooCommerce? n that case, you must consider using a WooCommerce optimized WordPress theme. Here it is.

News Pro is 100% optimized for WooCommerce. You will be able to sell physical products or services in person through your blog.

6 Layouts

The theme has 6 layout options. Some Genesis child themes will only give you access to 3 or 4 layouts. News Pro will not limit it.

The layout  options are,

• Content/ Sidebar.
• Sidebar/ Content.
• Content/ Sidebar/ Sidebar.
• Sidebar/ Sidebar/ Content.
• Sidebar/ Content/ Sidebar.
• Full-width Content.

You will be able to choose your favorite layout style from them. In our case, we mainly pick the Content/ Sidebar layout option. This will help you to increase your ad revenue if you are making money from display ads.

However, the choice is really up to you.

Inbuilt Schema

The schema will help you to improve the rankings and driving more traffic, sales, leads, and revenue. The theme got inbuilt schema markups. Not like product review schema or recipe schema.

They are,

• WPHeader Schema.
• WPSidebar schema.
• WPFooter Schema.
• WebPage Schema.
• CreativeWork Schema.
• Person Schema.

Also, you could use a plugin like WP Rich Snippets, All in One Schema.org Rich Snippets or WP Review Pro by MyThemeShop for adding more schema markups.

For verifying the schema, use the structured data testing tool. That’s how we test schema markups. For monitoring the schema, you could use Google Search Console.

News Pro Pricing

If you just want the News Pro theme and the Genesis Framework, you can get them for $99.95.

It’s a one-time purchase fee. You don’t need to renew it.

On the other hand, if you wish to get all their current themes, future themes, you can pay them $499.95. That will be a great investment if you are a developer who develops websites for your clients. The plan is known as Pro Plus.

I repeat, the best investment. You can save more than $1200.

Support and Updates

Most WordPress theme shops come with a 1-year contract. When you pay for their themes, probably you will get 1 year of support and updates An example is Elegant Themes, CSSIgniter, MyThemeShop etc.

Here at StudioPress, when you pay for a theme, you will get support from them for the lifetime! Also updates. No additional renewal fees. That’s the main advantage of StudioPress themes.

Let’s take Elegant Themes as an example. For a year, the all theme pack costs $89. On the next year, you need to renew the plan for receiving updates and support. We highly recommend keeping the WordPress installation, themes, and plugins updated to the latest version.

Here at StudioPress, no worries.

Is News Pro Worth To Try?

Hell yeah.

You know that we are using a Genesis child theme on our blog and got the pro-plus theme pack. In the pro-plus pack, you will get access to all the current themes, future themes, and lifetime updates and support. I mentioned that above.

As a result, we have used the News Pro theme for client projects (we help you to set up your website absolutely free) and the outcome was awesome. A clean and awesome WordPress theme.
