Coney – Blog WordPress Theme Overview
Published by Select-Themes, this is a design led blogging package rather than a newsroom grid. Twelve prebuilt front pages ship with it, backed by eight list templates covering masonry, centred, chequered, full width photo, metro, narrow and split column arrangements.
Layout work happens in WPBakery Page Builder, included in the download with Slider Revolution. Blog specific shortcodes place post lists, a slider, a post calendar, category blocks and a video list on any page, and three pagination modes offer numbered paging, a load more button or continuous scrolling.
Presentation options are generous: five header types with separate logo versions for sticky, mobile, dark and light states, a configurable mega menu, a side area and parallax title areas. WooCommerce is supported with a dropdown cart widget, and WPML handles translated editions.

Who Coney – Blog WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Lifestyle, fashion, food and culture writers are the natural audience, along with small Canadian publishers wanting a styled magazine grid rather than a dense wire service front page. The commerce layer suits a writer who also sells a book or a short product line.
Editors who prefer composing in the WordPress block editor will find the layout tools sit elsewhere, since pages are built with the bundled builder, and that choice should be tested on the demo before a build is committed.
Important Notes About Coney – Blog WordPress Theme
The Select Core plugin is a dependency of the finished site rather than an install step: deactivating it removes the custom post types and the shortcodes the pages are built from. Updates arrive through the marketplace update plugin, which withholds new releases only and leaves a running site untouched.
The feature list still advertises Twitter and Instagram feed widgets, while the February 2026 entry records both plugins removed after those platforms changed their interfaces, so neither should be counted on. Version numbers agree at 1.9, but the description inside the delivered style.css reads only the word Description, a placeholder shipped to buyers. Demo photographs cannot be reused.
There is no metered access, membership billing, editorial workflow or newsletter sending here, whatever the tag list suggests. Commenter details, and customer records if the shop is used, are personal information under PIPEDA and Quebec’s Law 25, any sign-up must meet the consent, identification and unsubscribe duties in Canadian anti-spam law, and a publication serving Quebec needs French at least equal to any other language. AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
Once the customer holds the licence, AppiAppi installs the theme with its core plugin, selects the front page and list templates that suit the publication, and rebuilds them with the owner’s own articles, categories and photography instead of the demo content. The mega menu, sidebars, related posts and pagination behaviour are set to the owner’s preference.
Ongoing work covers plugin and theme updates, performance checks on image heavy pages, structured data and feeds, moderation of reader comments, and AI-assisted SEO and content help, scaled to the subscription plan the customer holds.
