I have some suggestions , If it would be better applied at the level of Themes and WordPress in the world , I hope that this theme up to the highest sales take place after this suggestions applied .
First, I want users to Support my request , In order to apply by Newspaper theme team.
suggestions are :
1- Action buttons post on the subject across Facebook & Twitter to share the news, similar to picture attached , This theme is for the news ! So we need to spread the news through it
2- Avatar show writer named imilar to picture attached
3- Since the theme of the news and reading, especially Fonts zooms that some readers are senior age and are difficult to read them in line with normal size < All modern news sites have this feature !!!!
4- Separator between the columns , Gives the appearance of a beautiful Theme ,
similar to picture attached
I hope that these suggestions apply in the next update
Example via the following link :

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately not all of them can be achieved within the theme and i’m referring to the forth suggestion here, those separator between columns can’t be added because the grid was not designed to support that.
Regarding other suggestions they can be done trough the use of a plugin for that buttons for sharing you can use this plugin which I think it’s the same with the one used in your example https://wordpress.org/plugins/mashsharer/
The avatar can be added with some custom work or try to find a plugin that dose just that.
About the font size/zoom buttons you can also use a plugin if you want that, like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/zoom-widget/ or similar.
I will also add this suggestions on our feature requests list but because we have over 150 feature requests we have to pick very carefully what we implement. If more people request this feature we will try to do it within future theme updates.
Thanks for the message!
I like the idea of separator, it looks much better!
About the only way to get a separator line with boostrap 3 grid is to end up using one of the grid columns simply for spacing and having a border element on right side. It’s a pain.

The fact this theme has no separators is one of the main things it appealed to me in the first place and I suspect I’m not alone so please don’t change it!!
Hello,
The grid doesn’t support border between columns, to do that you need a custom grid. Of course somehow can be added a border with content property element, via CSS but is not a good practice :).
We working on the new theme that have a custom grid and have borders between columns.

we need Fonts zooms too ^_^ thank you all
Most sites got rid of font zooms — basically style sheet switching via javascript — since it’s built into all the web browsers now and became a nightmare for responsive design — meaning, you have to make zooms for each break point. We did the same on our business site. You’ll notice MOST major newspaper and magazine sites no longer have this function on the page. 🙂
However, you can easily create an alternate style sheet and simply enlarge all the font sizes in the .css then put the javascript to switch between style sheets into a box, such as top of sidebar. Simple.
ok!
So what about the Facebook & Twitter to share button!!!!
it’s in MOST major newspaper and magazine sites !!!

and what about BREAKING NEWS bar ?
like this one :
Hi, the theme layout would have to change for most of those social media options. You could certainly hack this theme, but in one example, you’d have to redesign the layout to have a wide layout for post top, for image and headline, then a skinny column on left for that, and then that would end up going above the story box for mobile devices.
For breaking news, you can obviously add a text box on your home page and use CSS to style a breaking news box – you have that ability right now. It would not be on ALL pages site wide, but you could easily add that to the single post template by calling a “breaking” file, and leave that empty if no breaking news, or populate when you have something earth shattering if your site actually breaks news in realtime. Simple to do. I think this might be on the list of 150+ “requests” for the theme, but not a hot topic for most, and so doubtful you’d see this anytime soon, unfortunately. But easy to add yourself within a few minutes of work.
For the social media stuff, you could create a php file with the social media elements you want, then add that in a float left div with right margin in the single post template at start of the post text, for example, or put a widget on top right of your post custom sidebar – you could hardcode by making a custom sidebar to load for the posts where the social media stuff is hard coded to query current post meta, and then still have the widget areas below that.
But don’t assume I’m being contrarian or negative in any way. Many “custom” things are pretty easy to do with existing plugins, or a couple of quick hacks to the single post template.
