What It Is

Squaretype is a modern WordPress theme for news, blogs, and magazine-style sites, developed by Code Supply Co. and aimed at content publishing websites. The page states that Version 3 adds features such as dark mode, portfolios, Gutenberg integration, comment ratings, pop-up notifications, and post view counts. It also includes 9 demo sites, allowing users to quickly build sites in different styles through one-click import and demo switching.

Core Features

Squaretype focuses on content presentation and site configuration. The homepage Hero area, post headers, archive pages, headers, and footers all offer multiple layouts. It supports list styles without featured images, as well as video backgrounds, built-in galleries, automatic reading time, live search, and automatically loading the next post. On the technical compatibility side, the theme works with WordPress 5.0+ Gutenberg, supports Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, and custom fonts, and is compatible with WooCommerce, the official AMP plugin, Yoast SEO, Polylang, WPML, MailChimp, and Google Analytics view-count synchronization.

Pricing and Licensing

The page clearly states that purchasing Squaretype gives access to all current and future theme demos, with no hidden fees or monthly charges, and includes free lifetime updates. Each purchase includes 6 months of premium support. However, the page does not disclose the specific price, payment methods, number of licensed sites, or commercial licensing details, so buyers should still check the purchase page or ThemeForest terms before making a purchase.

Pros and Cons

Its main advantage is broad coverage of features needed for content sites: SEO, AMP, speed optimization, adaptive images, social sharing, ad placements, WooCommerce stores, and multilingual support are all addressed, which can help reduce the need for custom development. It claims to optimize CSS, use conditional loading, and serve adaptive images, and says it can achieve strong results in Google PageSpeed Insights. The limitations are that it is still essentially a WordPress theme, so it depends on hosting, WordPress maintenance, and plugin configuration. Some features require third-party plugins, and the page lacks information on access from mainland China, payment options, and refunds.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Squaretype is suitable for personal bloggers, online magazines, news sites, lifestyle/travel/food/design content creators, and teams that want to add a WooCommerce store to a content site. Access from mainland China is not specified in the page, so it is considered unknown. If the purchase channel is an overseas platform, buyers may need to consider network stability, international payment, and the English-language support experience. Alternatives include Astra, GeneratePress, Newspaper, Soledad, JNews, Kadence, and Blocksy.
