== Description ==

The WordPress Author: Writer WDA is a responsive and multipurpose theme with many great features. Our theme offers a variety of options, such as different layout sizes for different pages, a custom search overlay, font families, primary button settings, a preloader, a top bar, a sticky header, gradient colors, banners, a custom comment box, a custom homepage, patterns, footer themes, and much more.

The WordPress Author theme is integrated with the WooCommerce plugin. This means you can use the WooCommerce plugin and turn your website into an online store, selling books or publications online. Our theme extends WooCommerce functionality by adding a shopping cart in the header, breadcrumbs for store pages, a search bar, and other options that give you complete control over your shop pages. Store pages are fully customizable, so you can change colors, layouts, and more.

The main advantage of our Author: Writer WDA theme is that it is fully customizable. You can change almost any element of the WordPress Writer theme and set your own design.

The theme also allows you to manage your blog page. You just need to create a page with the title/slug "Blog" and our theme will automatically recognize it as your blog page. You can configure your blog settings on the Theme Customize page > Blog/Archive/Search section > General tab. You can change the blog page layout, banner background colors, post description block background color, metadata color and position, category list design, and more.

The WordPress Author: Writer theme is available in two main versions: free and premium. The free version is good enough, but the premium version offers even more features and customization options.

The WordPress Author: Writer theme is ideal for individual authors (fiction or non-fiction) who want a professional website to present themselves: their bio, achievements, story, and upcoming works, writers who publish multiple books or e-books, and want to showcase their catalogue or sell books online (using WooCommerce).

The theme is also a good solution for self-publishing authors or small publishing houses who want a clean, book-centric layout with the ability to sell directly (or link to purchase) from the site, and authors looking for a sleek, modern one-page or multi‐page presentation (the demo shows a streamlined, elegant layout that focuses on brand, storytelling, and books).
