Solar Weebly Magazine Theme

Live Demo

Introduction

Amazing is what you need, so amazing is what you get! Introducing Solar, a state of the art magazine theme for Weebly. Forget everything you know about how a Weebly theme can operate.

​We wanted to build a theme that would carry features and capabilities the Weebly community didn't think was possible. So stand back and get ready to experience and learn about one really cool Weebly theme.

Let's say you have a blog. You write a lot, have a few different categories, but want the style of your theme to be more modern and magazine-like. Well, Solar can pickup that tab! Solar will take your latest posts and automatically organize them into a clean and trendy magazine layout. We're not done! Solar will additionally do the same for 3 categories of your blog, and all without touching a single line of code.

Features

• 100% Responsive - Yes, Solar is 100% responsive.
• Weebly 4's Customizable Header - Weebly 4's customizable header gives you a drag & drop banner area, which you can add a background image or solid background color to. You can also adjust the banner's height, or choose to make the background image parallax, reveal, or a video background (pro accounts only).
• Accent Color - Solar comes with an accent color that you can choose under "ThemeTheme OptionsAccent Color". The accent color is the color used by the Owl carousel slider's information content and navigation, the information content of the 3 category section, the scroll bar (webkit browsers only), active links, the ticker's label, blog comment's background, and the background of the banner's h2 tag.
• Blog Automation - Blog automation is a feature that automatically pulls content from your blog and displays it on other parts and pages of your website. Solar automatically pulls your 7 latest blog posts and displays them in a global new ticker at the top of the page. Those 7 same blog posts are also split on the "Solar" page layout, with 4 appearing in the Owl carousel slider, and 3 below the Owl carousel slider. 5 of your latest blog posts and the categories for that blog will appear in the global sidebar. Additionally, Solar will pull 5 of the latest blog posts from 3 individual blog categories of your choice and display them beneath the Owl Carousel Slider on the "Solar" page layout (homepage). Setting up blog automation is as simple as entering your blog's and category URLs in to the automation drop down in the Weebly Editor.

You can also choose to individually shut off the desktop, and the tablet and mobile ad space under "Theme Options".

After inputting the URL of 3 category pages from your blog in to the automation drop down, 5 of the latest blog posts from each of those 3 categories will appear in the 3 individual category sections.
