Without warning, they added backlinks to the footer in the update that cannot be deleted…

A great topic for news and articles!

by don228·1 year ago

I use the theme on three sites, it is great for news sites and various articles, like games and so on. Convenient customization of the theme will help you adjust the design to suit yourself.

Chosen for our Operation Manual

by scumop·3 years ago

The format of X-Mag fits our needs for an online operations manual quite well. X-Mag is themed as an electronic magazine which is a structured document. And both are documents with regular updates and additions. A great fit.

I tried it out along with a few others in 2020 and it was both the easiest to work with and the best fit for our format. After three years and never an issue, I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
