You have the following **options** from the **cheapest** to the **most expensive**: - **Free blog or magazine themes** – it’s probably going to be **hard** to find a **free theme** with the kind of **functionality** you need **advertised** as a **video blog theme**. For this reason, a **blog** or **magazine** theme will be best, as they all have the **functionality** you described. - **Paid video blog or magazine theme** – there are several **marketplaces** for these, the most popular being **ThemeForest**. You can also find themes from **companies** that **market** and **sell** their themes on their **own sites**, such as **Elegant Themes**. **Most** of these companies charge a ** yearly subscription** fee or a pricier **lifetime one-time purchase option**. Some **ThemeForest** themes are **regularly** updated; many are **not**. There should be a theme with all of the **functionality** you’re describing **built- in** to the theme. - **Paid blog or magazine theme** – these themes will **also** contain the ** functionality** you need, even if they’re **not** specifically **advertised** as video blog **themes** **or** having video blog **capabilities** (most ** do** advertise that). Again, **ThemeForest**, **Elegant Themes**, and other major **theme marketplaces** and **theme developers** will be your best bet. - **Customization of a free theme** – you could **pay** someone to help you ** customize** a **free theme** and your **WordPress** site to your needs - **Customization of a paid theme** – you could also **pay** someone to help you **customize** a **paid theme** and your **WordPress** site to your needs.** Some** theme developers offer **customization services** of the themes they** develop** and sell. - **A custom-developed WordPress theme** – this option will be the **most expensive** if you find a **good and trustworthy** developer (please **don’t** get **scammed** by someone doing one of the above options and charging you a **small fortune** for it!). The **custom theme** will also need regular **maintenance** by the developer, so you’ll **probably** need them on some form of **retainer**. For that reason, try to **find** a developer that **uses** a **trusted** and** popular** theme development **framework** like the **Genesis Framework** ( its developers also have a marketplace with themes available for it). * Just **make sure** that the theme **works** with **WordPress 5.5 or newer** and that it is **updated regularly**. After the **5.5 update**, **some** WordPress themes that use **older code** do not function correctly and require **updates**. And older code can **sometimes** create **security vulnerabilities** for your site, making it **more susceptible** to hackers. * Remember that as long as you are **embedding video content** from somewhere like** YouTube** and **Instagram**, **any** blog or magazine theme will **work** for you because the rest of the **functionality** you describe is available on every** decent** WordPress theme. WordPress has **built-in support** for **embedded content** like **videos** from **YouTube** and **social media**: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/embeds/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/embeds/) and [https://wordpress.org/support/article/video-shortcode/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/video-shortcode/). * I recommend **searching** for a **theme** based on the following **criteria**: - Price - Regularly updated - Ability to change colors easily with some form of customizer - Support for page builder functionality to make it easy to customize your site’s layout. Page builders should **work** with **all** themes. **Paid themes** usually **customize** the **styles** and offer **prebuilt** templates and layouts for use with the page builder they support, which makes it **easier** for you to **create** and **edit** your site. - Works with WordPress 5.5 or newer - Video blog theme, video magazine theme, multipurpose blog theme, multipurpose magazine theme * A **custom theme ** will require a developer, which needs **another** post to explain! * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Align occordion title in WPBakery Page Builder](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/align-occordion-title-in-wpbakery-page-builder/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/align-occordion-title-in-wpbakery-page-builder/#post-13451401) * Hello [@no-clue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/no-clue/), * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mega-addons-for-visual-composer/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mega-addons-for-visual-composer/) so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Fix wordpress errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-wordpress-errors/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-wordpress-errors/#post-13451298) * Hello [@cindeevandijk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cindeevandijk/), * I recommend that you **contact** your **web host** to help you with this issue, as this issue seems **related** to your **hosting**. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Image didn’t show up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-didnt-show-up/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-didnt-show-up/#post-13451293) * Hi [@agnesding](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agnesding/), * I replied to your other thread here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-not-working-52/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-not-working-52/) * I think if you follow the solution on that page, it may fix the image problem too. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Centered Images not sizing correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/centered-images-not-sizing-correctly/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/centered-images-not-sizing-correctly/#post-13451262) * Hello [@maxkim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxkim/), * The first image is missing the `wp-block-image` class that the other images have. That is why it displays differently. On the first image, it is set on a `div` rather the `figure` element. Some of the other images have it set on the `figure` element, while others do not. * **First image:** [ * **Second image:** [ * **Third image:** [ * That means they will display differently, as they have a different element set to the same `wp-block-image` class. * Looking at the html output of your code, all the images are set to be 400×400. They all follow the img element set to `max-width: 50%;` on line 219 of your style.css file. * If I remove the max-width: 50%; or set it to `max-width: 100%`, the images resize. Using the `max-width: 50%;` rule gives the 200×200 sizing. * The first image is also larger because the `aligncenter` element has a `max-width: 100%; width: 100%"` setting. The default alignment,`alignleft`, and `alignright` do not specify any widths. This width is necessary for the centering to work correctly. So this image displays at the 100% of 400×400, meaning 400×400. The others display at 50% of 400×400, meaning 200×200. * As far as I can see, the Gutenberg code is working correctly. Some of the HTML elements and classes need to be changed for the alignments and sizing to work correctly based on how your theme is set up. * My guess is that your theme overrides the style.css file automatically, which is why changing that file does not work. A better way to add or override CSS in WordPress is to use the **Additional CSS** option in the **customizer** under** Appearance > Customize**: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/appearance-customize-screen/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/appearance-customize-screen/) * I recommend setting up the images again so that they have the same HTML structure. You will probably need to set the images inside a placeholder to ensure that the alignments work correctly without affecting the image sizes. * If not, then set the figure classes to `aligncenter` then you can add `.wp-block- image img {max-width: 25%}` to the customizer to get the images to display at 200×200. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Drop down menu not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-not-working-52/) * [Niall Madhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nm1com/) * (@nm1com) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/drop-down-menu-not-working-52/#post-13450827) * Hello [@agnesding](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agnesding/), * After the **5.5 update**, some **themes** and **plugins** that use **older code** may **not** work correctly.
