WordPress Theme: KYAN News

KYAN News is the most recent theme to be added to our ever expanding collection of WordPress themes available to download for free. With this theme, we wanted to keep it as light and fast as possible, and I am happy to say we have achieved that. For us as usually it’s all about the small details that make the world of difference.

This idea behind KYAN is to help you create a news or blog website like Upworthy, Distracityify, which focuses on the content and to have visitors clicking through and staying on the page longer.

It is no secret that a masonry layout is proven to increase pageviews which is what you get here. We have set the default post page to a full width that is extremely popular these days not only that, but it helps keep readers on page longer thanks to not having a distracting sidebar.

Many of you might not know this, but we use to create themes for clients in a variety of niches and have taken all the tips we learn along the way to give you all for free.

If you want more on-site engagement and earnings, then try our KYAN theme, it’s free! Tip: if you wish to earn from advertisement then check out this plugin to insert ads withing your article. Let me know how you get on.

NOTE: This theme is hot off the press, so we have yet to create the documentation, please give us a day or so.

Highlights of the theme includes:

  • Built of the Bootstrap framework v3
  • Responsive across all devices
  • Ultimate colour variation
  • Super fast loading thanks to the removal of unnecessary coding
  • SEO ready if you follow our blog you will know that I know a thing about search after over six years in the field
  • Optimized layout to increase pageviews and engagements
  • Adsense friendly for those wanting a boost in adverting revenue
  • Featured post slider to promote popular articles

      We have updated Kyan to address the responsiveness on smaller mobile devices.

    I found it hard to customize (can’t change the colors using “personalize”, for example – so I guess I will have to change by CSS code). No documentation and the header image isn’t being showed up.

    The idea of the theme is really really good, but it should be tested more before get released. Whats the plugin you mention to show ads up? Thanks

      Hi Rodrigo,

      Thank you for choosing KYAN, no I have yet to create the documentation. To have the featured image show up on the homepage simple tick the featured box on the post you want to display. I will double check the issue on selecting a custom color. We tested this numerous amount of time but as with most version one release there will always be ongoing tweaking.

        Thank you for the answer. I’m using another theme as I’m not pro enough to make such changes with css and I needed a sidebar in single posts, but I will keep an eye on your project. Cheers

          Hey Rodrigo,

          I debated whether to add the option for a sidebar but in the end decided not to. I am currently press for time but will try to create an update with the option to enable and disable sidebar. And fix CSS issue a 5 minute job.

          Again thank you for visiting and your feedback which helps us out a lot 🙂

      Hey Luis,

      Thank you for choosing KYAN, nice to meet you also.

      Give me little time to upload the update that should have the colours selection working 🙂

      You can add your logo via the live customizer at yourdomain.com/wp-admin/customize.php

      3. is the mobile issue on your site(if yes can I have your URL) or our demo?

      No plugin is necessary unless you want to inject ads within your post then I recommend https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-adsense/

    Hey Brian, really nice work. To get involved with wordpress more and get your theme approved faster, think about joining the wordpress theme Slack community. There is such a glut of themes to be reviewed and yours is one that seems cool. GL https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/themereview/

    Hey Brian – cool theme, like the idea a lot. How do I make the top image stretch to fill the page?

    This might sound like a silly question, but would this be a good theme to use with a page builder such as Live Composer?
