Theme JNews v10.0.6 latest update

Jnews WordPress Theme is a theme being used by wordpress to make blogs, news… the best today. So what are the highlights of the Jnews theme and what are the advantages and disadvantages. Today’s article I will evaluate the Jnews theme in detail to bring to you.

The JNews theme is developed by Newspaper’s team. With many layouts with beautiful design, simple, light, easy to use, standard Google PageSpeed ​​Insights.

Theme JNews is not inferior to its predecessor and entered the top selling wordpress theme on ThemeForest.

If you are looking for a light wordpress theme, easy to use, to make a news website, blog, satellite website, the JNews theme will make you absolutely satisfied.

JNews theme is very simple and cool. You can see the changes you have made and create your website easily using the Header Builder, WPBakery Visual Composer, Elementor & Customizer page builder.

And now, I can say that Jnews is the real counterweight to the Newspaper theme above.

So what’s so attractive about Jnews? First, click on the link below to see the demo.

Professional interface, easy homepage customization

With more than 50 demo skins, you can see that the Jnews theme’s demo pages are very beautiful and professional.

With Jnews, users can easily customize the homepage interface according to different themes very easily thanks to the powerful Visual Composer. Compared to Newspaper, Jnews is probably a bit behind in terms of this interface customization support tool.

Theme Newspaper has its own customization tool, which is TD Composer, basically still developed on the basis of Visual Composer, but much improved.

With Visual Composer, the Jnews theme allows you to create your homepage easily according to your wishes. And I noticed, although using Visual Composer to create the homepage, the Jnews code is very streamlined and light, lighter than Newspaper.

Reviews on Theme Panel

The most minus point in the Jnews theme is none Theme Panel

If you have used Newspaper, with a Panel theme that collects all settings in one place, then when using Jnews, you have a slight disappointment.

Theme Jnews has put all its settings into the interface Customize (Customization) in the Appeareance (Appearance) like simple WordPress themes.

With this Customize interface, each customization is to wait a few seconds to reload the interface for that customization, which is extremely heavy.

However, in return, customizing Jnews located in this Customize will help you quickly see your changes, so it’s okay, and each change affects any part of the web, Jnews will switch the quick view interface to the section. there. For example, if you edit the customizations related to Category, then Jnews will switch the quick view page to a certain category of yours.

Customizability

In this section, I will talk about the ability to customize the rest of the web such as Post, Category, archives… Compared to this section between Jnews and Newspaper, I think Jnews only gets 8 points, and Newspaper gets 10 points.

These 2 themes have the ability to customize the appearance of posts, categories, archive pages are almost the same. However, Jnews does not have the ability to customize the post interface of each article, that is, there is no option to customize the interface for that article alone, which Newspaper has and is very good. You can see that themes using Newspaper may have a different header for each post, but Jnews has only one.

Another weakness of Jnews, is that it is not possible to choose a separate sidebar for a certain category. My previous need was to use the sidebar to display articles about WordPress for articles in the WordPress category, Newspaper did a great job, but Jnews could not.
The Jnews theme only has general customization for the entire category, not for individual customization for each category.

Also, most of Jnews’ options are split into separate plugins, rather than adding them all at once. This is also the reason why Jnews does not have a Theme Panel. What parts do you need to customize, and how do you want to change the interface, you can download those optional plugins from the Plugins section of Jnews.

Support ad placement

A news WordPress theme, the ability to support ad placements is also one of the top criteria. And with this criterion, Jnews can be said to eat Newspaper.

For a specific example, the Newspaper theme only supports 3 ad placements inside the article content, which are top, inline and bottom. But with the Jnews theme, this number is 5, with 1 top, 1 bottom and 3 inline. Having 3 inline positions can help you spread your ads more evenly across the content, especially with long articles. At the same time, there are 2 more positions outside the post layout, that is, above and below the post, close to the top and bottom positions of the post.

In addition to the positions placed inside the article, Jnews also supports other placements such as in the Header, sidebar or footer.

Customize Jnews’ Header

It can be said that Jnew’s Header customization is quite similar to the famous Flatsome theme because of many design choices, and Jnews is similar.

Page loading speed to evaluate Jnews theme

A very important criterion when choosing a WordPress theme.

If you only evaluate the page load speed according to Google Pagespeed, you will probably find that both Jnews and Newspaper can be optimized to 100 points.

At the same time, Jnews already supports compressing js, css, html, moving js css to the bottom of the page… But Newspaper does not, you can only use the Autoptimize plugin to do this.

Standard SEO data structure evaluation theme Jnews

By default, the Jnews theme has optimized support for the web, SEO standard data structure through their Jnews Schema plugin. With this plugin, it will help you to declare complete information through the JSON LD Schema structure.

Now you just need to combine Jnews with an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO to be able to optimize SEO for the complete website. You can download the Yoast SEO Premium plugin I shared here to use: Share Yoast SEO Premium license for free.
