I would like to announce a new theme here at Nicerightnow. No that does not mean we’ve decided to move into men’s apparel. What it does mean is that we have switched to a new WordPress website theme – the Newspaper 9 theme.

How Will the New WordPress Theme Help Me?

The Newspaper 9 WordPress theme offers improved loading speeds, so the website should load quicker for a better user experience. It also offers a few nice little ‘widgets’, like the weather widget you see displayed on each page. Overall the theme is intended to offer more sophistication than the previous theme, which should ultimately result in a more enjoyable experience whilst you consume the content.

Why Change Themes?

I’ve been planning to upgrade the WordPress theme to Newspaper on for some time. Ever since my blogging mentor Brandon Gaille from the https://theblogmillionaire.com/ recommended it to me in his outstanding blogging course. Brandon uses this theme on his website and it has blistering fast load speeds.

Then one day, out of the blue, my old theme suddenly became sick. Mysterious code started appearing at the top of the home screen where beautiful photographs are supposed to appear. I contacted the theme creators to find a solution. I managed to get it half fixed, but it was still showing ugly code on the homepage. This was just 2 days ago that I first noticed the problem.

This turned out to be a great opportunity to upgrade to the Newspaper theme. So on 17th August I loaded up the theme after work. Yes I still have to work 14 hours doing my day job. I was very happy to get it up and running after 3 hours of work.

End Result

The website is functional using the Newspaper 9 theme as of 17th August 2018; however there are quite a few links and functions which are not quite working properly. For instance, the “about me” page shows some random guy who came with the Newspaper theme. Some of the buttons and menus don’t quite work properly. I know about these, and will fix the problems over the following days.

Thanks for Your Patience and Understanding

Thanks for being patient and understanding, whilst I get the Newspaper theme running smoothly. If you notice any bugs I’d be grateful if you contact me at ramon@nicerightnow.com. The website should gradually get up to 100% functional over the next week or so. However, there are bound to be some little bugs lurking around that I miss.

Happy travels.
