Plan your general magazine publication
A broad magazine needs a recognisable editorial identity even when its subjects vary. Plan a lead feature, supporting stories and a small set of recurring sections. Choose a hierarchy that gives interviews and longer features room alongside recent updates.
Check the general magazine reading experience
Test a feature article with several headings and photographs. Check that image placement supports the story and that related coverage is easy to discover. Assess the mobile reading experience throughout the article, not just its opening screen.
Demos to compare for General Magazine
Classic Magazine (Magazine) covers world affairs, lifestyle, business and entertainment. Its preview uses a white magazine masthead and black navigation above a mosaic of featured stories. Compare a complete article as well as the homepage, using the headline lengths and image proportions you expect to publish.
Import your chosen general magazine design
Open the selected demo’s detail page and live preview before starting. Install the JNews edition and required plugins listed for that demo, activate your licence and use JNews Import Demo & Style to review the available selections. Back up an existing website before importing. Replace sample articles, images and navigation with your own material, and check any external forms or media services you intend to keep.
Make the publication your own
Use the available JNews typography, colour, header and footer controls to establish your publication’s identity. Adapt section labels to the general magazine subjects you will cover regularly, rather than retaining every sample category. Review the homepage, a category archive and a complete article on mobile. Choose image crops and text sizes that suit your real content, then test navigation and related stories before launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which demo is the starting point for a general online magazine?
Classic Magazine (Magazine) is the focused starting point in this collection. Its broad editorial subjects include world affairs, lifestyle, business and entertainment. Compare the homepage hierarchy with your own lead features and regular departments before importing the design.
Can a magazine cover several subjects without looking like a news portal?
Yes. Build the section mix around a recognisable editorial point of view, and give features or interviews the strongest positions. Compare how the demo balances longer stories with recent updates instead of creating a separate homepage block for every possible topic.
Where should I look for a magazine about one specific subject?
Browse the relevant topic collection, such as Music & Movies, Art & Photography or Health & Wellness. Those pages group designs by audience and coverage. Use General Magazine when your publication deliberately combines several subjects under one editorial identity.
How do I import a general magazine demo into WordPress?
Choose the design and check its detail page for the JNews edition and required plugins. With your JNews licence activated, use Import Demo & Style to review and import the available selections. Back up an existing site first, then replace sample content and review your general magazine categories and navigation.
Can I customise the colours, typography and layout?
Use the controls available in your selected JNews setup to change branding, typography, colours, headers and footers. Start with Classic Magazine (Magazine) or another demo in this collection and adapt its section labels and images. Check the demo’s own requirements before choosing an editing workflow.
What should I compare before choosing a general magazine theme?
Open the homepage, a category archive and a full article in the live preview. Test your usual headline lengths, image proportions and amount of text, including mobile navigation. Compare Classic Magazine (Magazine) with your own publishing plan rather than judging only the sample photographs.
