Plan your gaming & esports publication
Gaming readers may follow a particular title, platform or competition. Use those recurring interests to organise the publication and distinguish reviews from news or tournament reports. Decide how evergreen guides and fast-moving coverage should share the homepage.
Check the gaming & esports reading experience
Compare a long game review with a match report and a release announcement. Check media placement, detailed titles and links to related coverage on mobile. Tournament feeds or live match services need separate verification.
Demos to compare for Gaming & Esports
Game covers console games, gaming news and game reviews. Its preview uses a black-and-red navigation area above tiled review and news stories. Esport covers tournaments, esports teams and competitive games. Its preview uses a purple-and-dark hero area with game shortcuts and a featured-news column. Compare a complete article as well as the homepage, using the headline lengths and image proportions you expect to publish.
Import your chosen gaming & esports 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 gaming & esports 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.

Top 6 Reasons Why You Should Use JNews
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Game or Esport?
Game is a starting point for console games, gaming news and reviews. Esport focuses on tournaments, teams and competitive games. Compare the prominence of reviews versus current competition coverage before choosing your homepage structure.
Can I group stories by game, platform or tournament?
Yes. Choose a manageable set of categories around the games and platforms you cover regularly. Use clear labels for reviews, guides and match reports, then compare how visitors reach related coverage from a complete article.
Does an esports demo include live brackets or match feeds?
The demo layout alone does not establish tournament management or live match data. Verify any brackets, team records or streaming integration separately. The preview shows how editorial stories are presented around your main competitive-gaming subjects.
How do I import a gaming & esports 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 gaming & esports 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 Game 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 gaming & esports 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 Game, Esport with your own publishing plan rather than judging only the sample photographs.
