Who keeps Purea Magazine updated?
Themes don't maintain themselves. WordPress core, plugins and PHP versions move on, and a theme that worked last year can break quietly on a live site. If you would rather not babysit updates, our WordPress care plan handles tested updates, daily offsite backups, uptime monitoring and two hours of small changes a month, from $99.

Purea Magazine is the news-oriented sibling of Purea Fashion, built for sites that publish frequently across several categories. It ships with a post category slider, trending news, highlight boxes and two- and three-column archives in the free version, which is the structure a news homepage needs to stay scannable as the volume of stories grows.
- News and niche magazines publishing daily or several times a week
- Multi-category sites that need a slidable category feed on the homepage
- Publishers who want trending content surfaced automatically rather than curated by hand
