Hi,
Could someone please tell me the difference between Newsmag and Newspaper? I’ve tried searching the forum, Theme Forest and Google but can’t find an answer. They look pretty identical to me.
… just in case I need to buy another license and I’m confident I’ve bought the right one.
Many thanks.
Robin
One is more narrow and one is wider (e.g., Newspaper is “wider”, more like a newspaper); NewsMag is more narrow like a news magazine.
Thanks Chris.
That’s it?!
It’s $10 more expensive (not that that will break the bank)!
I only came across Newspaper after I’d installed Newsmag.
What would be really helpful is for tagdiv to perhaps display a chart: ticks, crosses, same same etc. like other themes do with different products.
If what you’re saying is correct it could actually be quite useful – perish the thought …
Regards,
Robin
Well, they did that previously, I think back with Newspaper 4. But, NP keeps evolving since it’s one of the more popular themes out there — so, NP7 very different from NP4. Usually looking closely at the demos of both themes on themeforest with two tabs open in browser for desktop set to “wide” and then something like an iPad are good ways to compare. Differences in layout, modules, navbar, footers, category/archive pages, fonts/sizes, “preset templates” are different, etc.
Newspaper is the flagship, Newsmag is the alternate take.
Hi
We get often this question regarding the differences between our themes. I can tell you that the both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another. Newspaper’s grid width is 1068px while Newsmag’s width is 1021px and the newsmag’s theme grid has been designed to support the borders you notice between sections of a page: http://screencast.com/t/pNkgzN1Kn8Y5
Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, for example you could check the Features menu items from each theme live demo and see blocks, modules, post templates… are present in each theme and the design differences – http://screencast.com/t/p87JJpieJd
Speaking from a development point of view Newspaper theme is more complex then Newsmag. Among the differences I can enumerate these ones:
– Newspaper have more blocks, grids and another widgets which arenot included in Newsmag yet.
– Newspaper have more smart-lists available. There are 8 types of smart-lists while Newsmag have 4.
– more posts templates are available for Newspaper, 14 and for Newsmag are only 9 at the moment.
– ad system offers more options fro Newspaper then for Newsmag
We are constantly working on multiple updates for both themes. Adding further features is always a goal of ours. At the moment we work on a major update for Newsmag theme, new features will be added which will make the theme more complex and also its flexibility will be improved.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
