Title: Newspaper theme Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Newspaper theme * [gighen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gighen/) * (@gighen) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/) * Hi, I’ld like to build a small online newspaper, i have some good experience with WordPress so i thought it should be ok also for this. I’m looking for a theme that display the first posts of every category in homepage.. i found once a theme like this for wordpress but i cannot find it anymore 🙁 🙁 Searching for newspaper all the themes looks like newspapers but i don’t really care about it.. Thank you * PS Does somebody know online newspapers made with wordpress?

You will need to learn Multiple Loops on the Codex, or, ask here for someone to write your Multiple Loops code for you. * The section that you’re concerned about (top headlines from each category), could go into any theme, really. For practice you can put it in the default theme. First get The Loop(s) you want, then apply the CSS to style it. * I’m not sure you can get it to magically pull the latest headline from ANY category( anticipating categories you haven’t added yet), but you can say specific categories. Example, Loop to get Category 1 headline: NEWS Loop to get Category 5 headline: FEATURE Loop to get Category 3 headline: SPORTS Loop to get Category 8 headline: CLASSIFIED * Good luck & please post back here when you get something working. By the way there are other custom WP sites, newspapers and online magazines, like you want. * Thread Starter [gighen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gighen/) * (@gighen) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-372886) * thank you… for sure i’ll post the code if it’ll works 😉 Do you have any example of newspapers and online magazine? I’ld like to see some possibles results 🙂 * [Dgold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgold/) * (@dgold) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-372887) * [Here is a Google search for magazine OR newspaper “powered by WordPress”](http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&num=10&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=powered+by+wordpress&as_oq=newspaper+magazine&as_eq=&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=images) * There are many results. Enjoy the possibilities! You can also search this Forum and look in the My WordPress section for more examples. * In my view WordPress can be much more than personal blogging software. It is appropriate for any database-driven web representation of text. It is great for an online newspaper, or the website of a real newspaper. * Thread Starter [gighen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gighen/) * (@gighen) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-372935) * [http://www.mudsugar.com/](http://www.mudsugar.com/) looks really cool and seems to have the structure with categories…. * [lontanodagliocchi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lontanodagliocchi/) * (@lontanodagliocchi) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-372993) * Ehi!

I am trying to use WP as the CMS for a small online magazine with sections like stories, essays, poetry, translations, book reviews etc., I really like WP, because WP liberates me from designing individual pages but allow me to concentrate on the structure of the data. * My categories are organized as follows: 1 category i 2 — child i1 3 — child i2 4 — child i3 5 — child i4 6 category f 7 — child f1 8 — child f2 9 — child f3 10 –child f4 * Each post belongs to **only one** of the child categories i1 or i2, or i3 or i4. It also belongs to **one or more child categories f1, f2, f3 and f4. * Example of posts. post categories ——————– post1 i1, f3 post2 i1, f1 post3 i1, f1, f4 post4 i1, f2 post5 i1, f1 … * I want to create a category template for the children i1, i2, i3 and i4. However, the standard category template sorts the posts by id and the categories f1, f2 and f3 are all mixed up. I would like to be able to sort the posts in the category i1 so all posts are also sorted by categories f1, f2, f3 and f4. this is what I have in mind: * Archive for Category: i1 f1 post2 post3 post5 f2 post4 f3 post1 f4 post3 …. * I know I need to loop on each of the child categories of category f. (id = 6) Is it possible to get posts that belong to categories (i1, f1), (i1, f2) etc. in the category template? * I am just gettig started with WP and any help or pointers is greatly appreciated. thanks * [lellie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lellie/) * (@lellie) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-373054) * I do something similar on [http://www.student-direct.co.uk](http://www.student-direct.co.uk) which is our student paper. I’m currently redesigning it to make it pretier but the loops work in that way. * [WPChina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordpresschina/) * (@wordpresschina) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-373055) * lellie: your student-direct theme looks great! It would be great if that was available for others to use–I’d like to test it out 🙂 * [thepawspa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thepawspa/) * (@thepawspa) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-373066) * lillie- I too as well would love it if you shared your theme. It really is great. Good job * [Dgold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgold/) * (@dgold) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-373069) * Nicely done lillie, I like your category archives pages with the large featured story, then 2 “boxcars” (teasers), and then under that a list of just-plain-headlines for older stories in the cat. * This may be a cultural thing, but why do you write “Latest Sport” instead of “ Latest Sports Story”? Latest Sport does not make sense to me. Midnight Basketball would be the latest sport I can think of. * [lontanodagliocchi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lontanodagliocchi/) * (@lontanodagliocchi) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-theme-2/#post-373073) * Good, Lillie!!
