It is most suited for food blogs or fashion blogs, but can be used for a variety of purposes. Elara has a special front page that features multiple sidebar positions (top or bottom), a banner or a posts slider, featured categories, and a highlight post. You can also optionally hide the banner/slider completely. It supports a special category template, a full width page template, post sidebar positions (top or bottom), and video format posts. Elara comes built-in with social media icons / menus, as well as Instagram feed integration (with Social Images Widget). You also get several widget locations, such as two special full width widgets on the front page, sidebar widgets, header and footer widgets. The theme comes with built-in support for two of the most popular contact form plugins: Contact Form 7 and WPForms Lite. Elara is backed by world class, one-on-one support, and a super active team of developers and designers ready to help! ## Features [Blog](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/blog/), [Custom background](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/custom-background/), [Custom colors](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/custom-colors/), [Custom header](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/custom-header/), [Custom logo](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/custom-logo/), [Custom menu](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/custom-menu/), [Featured images](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/featured-images/), [Flexible header](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/flexible-header/), [Food & drink](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/food-and-drink/), [Footer widgets](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/footer-widgets/), [Full width template](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-width-template/), [Grid layout](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/grid-layout/), [One column](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/one-column/), [Photography](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/photography/), [Post formats](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/post-formats/), [Right sidebar](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/right-sidebar/), [RTL language support](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/rtl-language-support/), [Sticky post](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/sticky-post/), [Theme options](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/theme-options/), [Threaded comments](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/threaded-comments/), [Translation ready](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/translation-ready/), [Two columns](https://vec.wordpress.org/themes/tags/two-columns/) ## Downloads per day Active Installations: **600+** ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 15 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/elara/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/elara/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/elara/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/elara/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/elara/reviews/?filter=1) [Add my review](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/elara/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/elara/reviews/) ## Support Got something to say?
