Best for: publishers and bloggers who want a low-cost Elementor magazine theme with a dark mode switch and many ready-made news demos
The Newsfy magazine WordPress theme comes from RivaxStudio, an Elite Author on ThemeForest. It targets news sites, online magazines and content-heavy blogs. A Regular License costs $35, a price we checked on 8 October 2026.
What the Newsfy magazine WordPress theme includes
RivaxStudio lists 48+ demos on the item page. On the author’s demo server we counted 16 demo sites, and each one offers three homepages. For example, there are sets named NewsRoom, FormalNews, DailyMag, Crypto, Sport and Fashion. As a result, a newsroom and a niche blog can both start from a close match. Every demo imports with one click, and all of them are edited in Elementor. In addition, the theme adds its own widgets for posts, navigation and off-canvas menus.
A template builder for headers, footers and archives
The template builder is the main reason to look at this magazine theme. You can design the header, the sticky header and the footer as Elementor templates. Moreover, the same builder covers category and tag archives, the mega menu and sidebars. Therefore, you can change the whole frame of the site without touching code. The item page also lists 38 post grid layouts and four post models: grid, carousel, masonry and slider. Besides, an advanced query builder decides which posts each widget shows.
Dark mode and reading tools on a magazine WordPress theme
Newsfy ships a dark mode switch as part of the theme. According to the item page, the default can be light, dark or based on the visitor’s device. There is also an always-dark option for sites that want one style only. In addition, single posts get a table of contents, a reading progress bar and a reading time estimate. The theme can also load the next post automatically when a reader reaches the end. Meanwhile, archives offer five pagination types, including Ajax load more and infinite scroll.
Speed, AMP and plugin support
RivaxStudio describes the theme as lightweight and AMP ready. The author also says it passes the Google Core Web Vitals assessment. However, the item page gives no test data, so measure your own pages. On the other hand, the compatibility list is concrete. It names Elementor and Elementor Pro, WooCommerce 8.x to 10.x, bbPress, Contact Form 7 and Jetpack. Consequently, you can add a shop or a forum to the magazine. Like many WordPress themes on ThemeForest, it is also translation and RTL ready.
