Introducing Automotive
Automotive is a JNews Classic WordPress demo for car magazines and automotive reviewers. It covers cars, test drives, comparisons and buying guides and uses a dark magazine homepage with two leading car stories and image-based news cards. This gives you a starting point for presenting your own content in the same publishing style.
Explore the live homepage and its article navigation to judge how your headline length, story images and category labels would fit. The preview contains sample content; replace it with your own material after import.
Who this template is for
Automotive suits car magazines and automotive reviewers who publish cars, test drives, comparisons and buying guides. Choose this template when a dark magazine homepage with two leading car stories and image-based news cards matches the way you want readers to explore your content. Plan your own topic structure and publishing schedule around the sections you actually need.
Homepage and article layouts
The homepage uses a dark magazine homepage with two leading car stories and image-based news cards. Its content collections include Trending, Video, News Index and Buying Guide. These areas let you organise cars, test drives, comparisons and buying guides into distinct entry points for readers.
Open a complete example article alongside the homepage to assess the reading layout and navigation. The reviewed page also shows social sharing controls and previous/next story navigation. Check it with your typical text length and image proportions before choosing the demo.
