The Affair – WordPress Theme for Personal Blogs

Personal blogs and small magazines usually need a calm layout that puts the writing first. The Affair is built around that idea. It uses a clean, minimalist design with chosen typography for readability, and it adapts to phones, tablets and desktop screens. Seven demo designs give you different starting looks, so you can pick one that matches your topic and tone.

Customization happens through options rather than code. You can pick header types, choose layouts for the homepage and archives, adjust colors with a live preview, and set up featured posts and category sections. Multi-author sites are covered through guest authors and Co-Authors Plus compatibility. The theme also works with Gutenberg and WooCommerce, so a blog can grow into a community or a small store.

Features

• Seven demo designs: Start from one of seven demos in a single theme, each with its own look, so you can match the design to your blog's style and content.
• Featured posts and categories: Dedicated sections let you highlight chosen posts and categories on your pages, and you can exclude featured posts from the main archives to avoid duplicates.
• Multiple header types: Choose from several page header styles to suit your branding and the way you want visitors to move around your site.
• Smart colors with live preview: Adjust your color scheme and watch the changes appear in real time, which makes tuning the look of your blog quicker.
• Flexible archive and page layouts: Set different layouts for your homepage, archive pages and other pages, so the structure of the site stays organized and varied.
• Mega-menu and sticky navigation: A mega-menu, sticky navigation and sticky sidebars keep links and widgets within reach as readers scroll, and a slide-out menu with widgets serves mobile users.
• Google Fonts and AMP support: Pick from a large selection of Google Fonts to set your blog's personality. AMP support is included for mobile pages.
• Multi-author and store ready: Guest authors and Co-Authors Plus compatibility help teams of writers, while Gutenberg and WooCommerce compatibility let you build with blocks or add a shop.
