Magalla Magazine – News and Business Blog Theme Overview
Magalla Magazine is a news and business magazine layout published by EA-Studio and first released in 2015. Presentation relies on coloured category labels, a flat and deliberately readable article design, and a back end options panel, with demo settings supplied as a restore file.
Two things set it apart from a plain blog shell: its own drag and drop editor for arranging page content, and a scored review system for articles that rate something. Right to left layouts are supported, with Arabic and Persian cited by the vendor, and the record declares WPML handling and markup on the sixth Foundation release.
Age needs weighing honestly. The record shows the last update in May 2019, declares a ceiling in the WordPress 5.1 series and does not declare block editor optimisation. The vendor nowhere calls it retired, but the demo and the download should be tested on a current installation.

Who Magalla Magazine – News and Business Blog Theme Is Suitable For
Bilingual Canadian publications are the interesting case, since right to left layouts and translation handling are both declared, and coloured section labels help readers navigate many departments.
Business titles running scored reviews of products or services also fit. Anyone requiring current block editor behaviour, paid access, member accounts or a shop should treat the declared compatibility as the deciding factor.
Important Notes About Magalla Magazine – News and Business Blog Theme
The packaged style sheet credits a studio name different from the seller account, so the file delivered does not match the shop front; judge the package by the live demo. That packaged version, 2.0.0, agrees with the newest entry, which records a rewrite in May 2019 adding a page builder and forum support. Neither appears in the current feature list or the declared record, so treat both as questions for the demo. The published entries are also out of date order, and because the drag and drop editor belongs to the theme, layouts built with it will not carry over to another theme.
Defamation law here gives publishers less latitude than American law, and a publisher can carry responsibility for material in comments it moderates, so a moderation policy, a corrections process and a named contact matter early. Review scores must be genuine, since fake reviews are specifically targeted by recent Competition Act amendments. Commenter records are personal information under PIPEDA, Quebec’s Law 25 and the Alberta and British Columbia acts, and Bill 96 requires French for a publication serving Quebec. AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
Once the customer has licensed the theme, AppiAppi installs it, tests it against a current WordPress, and builds the publication with the owner’s own sections, articles, reviews and branding. Category labels and colours, the home arrangement, archive and article templates, the options panel, widgets and any translated version are configured as part of that work.
AppiAppi then maintains updates, feeds and structured data, provides AI-assisted SEO and content support, publishes new articles and reviews, and answers enquiries at the plan’s level.
