Why Minion? I guess you are already familiar with the name Minion from the blockbuster Despicable Me. They are cute, smart and fun, and that’s what you would tell about our WordPress theme Minion.

Responsive WordPress Blog theme with minimal design

We know that vibrant and complex blog page is not a favour for everyone, thus we develop WordPress theme Minion with simple and minimal design in mind. Minion has a white background (unfortunately not yellow), light and bright colors for buttons and links. We minimize the number of subpage and only support essential pages needed for your blog. Also, social sharing is especially focused as we know you would want more people to get to connect you via your blog.

Let’s dive into significant features of this cutie.

Various WordPress blog formats support

Minion does its job as a WordPress blog theme well. Minion supports a variety of blog formats: there are 5 formats including Standard one, Link, Quote, Gallery and Video. Besides, we also focus on the details and make each blog page standout with minimal elements.

Here are screenshot of our blog pages.

WordPress Sidebars featuring Dynamic Widget

In this WordPress theme Minion, we support 2 sidebars: Main Sidebar on the left side, displaying all the main navigation and the Secondary Sidebar to the right side.

The Main Sidebar with main navigations

On the Secondary Sidebar, we have developed an exclusive Drag & Drop function for Tab and Accordion areas in backend. By dragging & dropping, you now can freely add and remove any widget you wish to have on these two sections.

Did you thinked about releasing a “plus” version of the theme too? Donno a pro version or something in between your premium themes and free ones with some more basic settings added to wp customizer like google fonts picker and few more styles(this one is b&w with green accent color, one could be with blue …etc)?

@BuleSolePhoenix !

To install the theme using WordPress installer, you need to use dw_minion_theme.zip file.

1. From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Appearance > Themes menu.
2. Click on the Install Themes button.

Hi there,
How do I make the secondary side bar empty? I don’t want anything to be displayed in it. And is there a way to remove social media bar on the right?

Absolutely cracking theme DW! Can I ask how you put the custom content into the about and contact pages? such as the timeline, the nice tabular layout for contact details etc?

Hello @ Mishka Plyushevy !
– To resolve this problem you can log in to Dashboard > Appearance > Widget > Secondary Sidebar > and then Remove all the widget here.
– To remove social media bar on the right, you can add the following code to the style.css file:

.site-actions .social {
display: none;
}

Regards,
Dominic
