In the Newspaper theme there are two different types of options to customize your posts:
- Global settings – These options will be applied to all posts, and you can find them in the Theme Panel > Post Settings
- Individual post settings (called Page Options) – you can apply them individually for each post. You will find these options under your post while editing.

Sharing buttons
All the articles of Newspaper have share buttons at the start (usually under the title) and at the end of the article (after tags). Each article’s share section is made out of share buttons for the most used social Networks like Facebook, Twitter, and more.
To enable or disable the share options, go to the Theme Panel > Post Settings > Sharing:
The settings allow you to select the sharing options you like and choose the style of the buttons to show on the front end.
You can specify a different Twitter username and choose the exact social networks you want to show on your front-end:
The theme will show only one line of social icons to not occupy a lot of the article available space so depending on the style of social icons chosen, more or less icons will show up at once. The rest of the icons will be ‘minimized’ under the + symbol:
Related Articles settings
The Newspaper theme is designed to display similar posts at the bottom of every article. In the Related Articles section, the theme displays three or five articles per row, depending on the selected layout.
In Newspaper >Theme Panel > Post Settings > Related article, you can customize the way these articles are displayed.
- Based on the layout setting:
- on the layout with sidebar are shown three articles
- on the full-width layout, there are five articles shown
- Show related – In the Theme panel, you can enable or disable this function.
- Related articles – type – This option allows you to decide if the related post should be selected by category or by tag.
