Nouvelles Child Theme for Divi
$95 USD
Let Nouvelles and Divi help you get a multi-author news magazine site up and running quickly, with many custom blog features.
The Home Page – the Hub of Your Blog
Scrolling Recent Posts
Prominently feature your latest posts with this eyecatching scroller in the header.
Flexible Layout
The beauty of Divi is that you are not limited to a fixed layout. Nouvelles includes 7 different blog module layouts that you can mix and match to set up your home and category pages the way you want them.
Horizontal Recent Posts Blog Module Layout
This layout will show the most recent post in the selected category as a large thumbnail on the left, with the next 3 posts as smaller thumbnails on the right.
Tabbed Blog Module Layout
This layout features the horizontal layout displayed in tab form – great for showing a lot of information in a smaller space. In our example, we have a parent (‘lifestyle’) category, with the sub-categories displayed in tabs.
Vertical Blog Module Layout
Similar to the horizontal layout, this layout features the main blog image at the top, with the secondary blog images below. This allows you to give more prominence to the featured images in each category.
Slide-out Search Bar
Allow visitors to easily search your site with a handy search bar that is available in the fixed header at the top of your site at all times.
Slide Up Blog Modules
These attractive slide-up blog modules are one option you have to feature your blog posts. In our demo site, as shown here, we are featured the 5 most recent posts on the site. Hovering over the image will trigger the post excerpt to slide up into view.
Sidebar Recent Posts with Thumbnails
The WordPress default recent posts widget does not show images. Nouvelles brings you a customized version with thumbnail support, helping your content attract more attention.
Sidebar Content
While many websites no longer display sidebars, this continues to be important real estate to many blog sites. They allow you to present additional navigation options to visitors, maximizing their visit. And they allow you to feature advertising content, as seen here, newsletter signup, etc.
Newsletter Signup
Two newsletter signup modules are included – one styled for the sidebar, and the other for the footer. Simply edit the modules in the Divi library to connect with your email provider and list.
Custom Blog Post Layout
Blog Like a Pro
The default Divi blog post template may not have all the bells and whistles – but we have decked it out with some great features so that you can blog like a pro!
Category Links
The category (or categories) are shown at the top of the blog post, making it easy for people to find more content of interest.
Tag Support
In addition to categories, you can also tag your posts, and the tags will be shown at the bottom of the post content – again making it easy to help people navigate to other content that may be of interest to them. You can also include a tag cloud elsewhere on your site (we have included it in the footer).
Author Bio
Perfect for a multi-author blog, every post includes the author bio at the bottom, with their photo and links to their social media profiles.
Previous & Next Post Links
The unique previous and next post links feature the thumbnail image of the post in the background.
Mega Menus
The Nouvelles theme includes two options for mega menu layouts, which include Divi modules featuring recent posts from the menu category. The Mega Menus are created using the Max Mega Menu plugin. You can learn more about Max Mega Menu plugin here.
Monetize Your Blog
Many people want to monetize their blog through posting ads – either through Google Adsense or another advertising network, or by selling ads directly. The top area of a site is often a sought after spot for advertisers. Nouvelles includes an optional Ad Space widget area below the header. You can add your ad network code to a widget in this area, or use any other widget. In our example we used the ET Advertisement widget.
Author Archives and Profile Pages
You can have a special Authors page on your site, displaying all the authors on your site who have published posts, with links to their profile page.
Each author will also get their own page on your site, with their profile and links to all their articles. Their profile (managed through the standard WordPress User admin), can also include links to their website and social media profiles. This is an added benefit that you can offer them as your authors, as it provides excellent exposure for them.
Category Pages
Two category page layouts are included – with 3 additional blog module and blog slider layouts. Again, you can mix and match these with the ones on the home page to make the ideal layout for your site.
The custom styled post slider module at the top of the layouts scrolls through recent posts for your chosen category.
The first layout includes a custom designed horizontal blog layout.
The second features a grid layout of posts. Please note that CSS grid layouts are new, and not supported by all browsers. Internet Explorer does not support grid layouts (the blog posts will show as full width), Edge will be getting support with the Creators Update in Fall 2017. So use this layout with caution if you need to ensure maximum browser compatibility.
