Surround Vlog & Blog WordPress Theme

Creators who publish videos and articles often need a site that treats both kinds of content well. Surround is built around that micro-niche. It uses the Bootstrap 4 grid, works with Gutenberg and has a responsive, retina-ready layout, so pages adapt to phones, tablets and large desktop screens. Six predefined homepage layouts give you a starting point for a personal vlog, a travel blog or a multimedia portfolio.

Setup and control are handled through Redux theme settings and a one-click installation. You can pick from 10 blog page layouts, 8 blog post designs, 6 header styles and 5 footer styles. The theme is ready for WooCommerce if you want to sell merchandise, and it works with Gravity Forms, WPML and WPBakery. The code is clean, valid HTML5 and works across browsers from IE11 up.

Features

• Six homepage layouts: Start from one of six predefined homepages designed for vlog and blog niches, then adjust it to suit your own look and the kind of content you publish.
• Responsive, retina-ready design: The layout is built on the Bootstrap 4 grid and adapts to smartphones, tablets and large desktop screens, with sharp display on retina devices.
• Many blog and post layouts: Choose from 10 blog page layouts and 8 blog post designs, so your archive and single posts can each have a distinct structure.
• Header, footer and menu options: Pick from 6 header and 5 footer styles. Sticky headers and horizontal, vertical, drop-down and mega menus help visitors move around the site.
• Redux theme settings: A Redux-based settings panel gives you central control over the theme's appearance and options, so changes do not require editing code.
• WooCommerce ready: The theme supports WooCommerce, so you can add a store alongside your posts and videos, for example to sell merchandise directly from your site.
• Bundled sliders and maps: Revolution Slider is included for animated sliders, and MapBox and World Map plugins add interactive maps. Touch-enabled carousels display posts or products on mobile.
• Reviewer plugin and shortcodes: A reviewer plugin lets users submit reviews and ratings. A shortcode library adds accordions, alert boxes, counters, progress bars and call-to-action buttons to your pages.
