For more than a decade, WordPress has been the backbone of online publishing. From small personal blogs to large-scale news platforms, it empowers creators to publish, manage, and share content with remarkable ease. Its flexibility, vast plugin ecosystem, and active community make it the ultimate choice for publishers who want full control without writing a single line of code. Whether you’re building a news portal, magazine, or multi-author publication, WordPress offers the stability, scalability, and freedom to grow your platform your way.
What Is HybridMag?
HybridMag is a next-generation WordPress theme designed for publishers who want performance, flexibility, and creative freedom in one package. It’s called “Hybrid” for a reason — the theme supports both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor at the same time. We recommend using the Gutenberg editor to take full advantage of modern features and design flexibility, but if you love the classic editing experience, or want to use both editors for different posts and pages, HybridMag gives you that freedom.
But HybridMag is much more than just editing flexibility. It includes extensive customization options that let you shape your site to perfectly match your brand. You’ll find:
- Color controls to personalize your site’s look and feel.
- Typography options for fine-tuning readability and personality.
- Header and footer settings that help you design with precision.
- Layout options to design every section of your website.
Built with the highest coding standards, HybridMag is optimized for speed, reliability, and SEO performance — ensuring your site looks professional and performs flawlessly.
Another thoughtful feature is the ability to use post excerpts as subtitles — or, if you prefer, add a custom subtitle through a dedicated meta box. On top of that, you’ll have a wide range of blog archive layouts, including flexible grids with adjustable column counts and clean list designs, each with detailed customization options to suit your vision.
The Magazine Companion Plugin
To extend the theme’s possibilities even further, HybridMag is paired with the Magazine Companion plugin — a powerful addition made specifically for magazine, news, and blog-style websites.
This plugin includes a collection of custom blocks that let you display posts in elegant and dynamic layouts. You can use them to design rich magazine homepages or even insert post sequences and related post sections directly inside your articles — all visually, with Gutenberg.
Another highlight is the one-click demo importer. With just a single click, you can install a professionally designed demo layout, helping you set up your site in minutes and start customizing right away.
Built for Creators Who Want Control
HybridMag and its companion plugin together offer a complete publishing solution — combining the creative control of the block editor, the familiarity of the classic editor, and deep customization tools. Whether you’re launching a digital magazine, running a news site, or starting a blog, HybridMag gives you the freedom to build confidently on WordPress — the most powerful publishing platform in the world.
