Tribune — Widgets & Widget Areas

This article refers to Tribune

Tribune’s homepage sections and sidebars are built with widgets. Manage them in Appearance → Widgets.

The Widgets screen

Widget areas

  • Featured Area — the column next to the featured slider (the demo’s Latest News).
  • Sidebar — the site sidebar (position configurable in Theme Options → General → Sidebar Settings); the demo shows the WPZOOM: Tabs widget here with Most Commented / Most Viewed.
  • Homepage — the magazine sections below the featured area; stack WPZOOM: Featured Category widgets, with Custom HTML widgets between them for ads.
  • Header Social Icons — the top-bar icons (Social Icons Widget by WPZOOM).
  • Footer (full-width) and Footer (column 1–4) — the footer areas.

Theme widgets

  • WPZOOM: Featured Category — the homepage category sections.
  • WPZOOM: Carousel Slider — a scrollable posts carousel.
  • WPZOOM: Recent Posts — a compact recent-posts list.
  • WPZOOM: Most Commented and WPZOOM: Most Viewed — popularity rankings.
  • WPZOOM: Tabs — the tabbed Most Commented / Most Viewed box from the demo.

The views counter

Tribune counts post views itself — no plugin needed — powering the Most Viewed widget and the optional views count on posts. Since version 4.2.17 the counter is accurate and cache-proof: each visitor counts once per 24 hours per post, editors and bots are ignored, and counting works with full-page caching plugins. On a new site the widget shows a short notice until views accumulate.
