Today we have a fantastic exclusive freebie for everyone — a free to use WordPress theme called ‘The Scoop’. It has been designed by Sven Salmonsson from wpStyles.org and it is a four columned minimal magazine-styled theme with its main focus on elegant typography and aimed towards content heavy web sites.
You’ll love it!

License

The Scoop has been licensed with a GPL General Public License, meaning you can freely use this theme for both personal and business use with no limitations.

Features

The Scoop WordPress Theme

Putting The Scoops visual beauty aside, here are some of its key features:

• Four Columns for content-heavy websites

• jQuery Dropdown menu that supports the new WP 3.0+ custom nav menu function

• Widget-areas in the third sidebar and in the footer

• A theme options page where the user can change the logo, add analytics code, add Twitter username, Facebook fan page and the RSS Feedburner URLs (for the social icons within the header)

• The theme options page also allows users to choose which categories to show posts from the two central columns. This will automatically exclude the category from the main loop from the main content area.

• Thumbnail support which means the user only has to set one image as the featured thumbnail and it’ll automatically re-size for the smaller sizes.

Thanks to wpStyles.org

    Hi there,

    thanks for your fabulous theme. I would like to add 2 more sidecategories on the right side, I wonder where it’s declare in the database (then i could change the code). Could you help please ?

    Thank you in advance

  • Gonzalo

    hi!, thanks for the theme….I have a question, how do you turn the background in black, just how it looks in the picture? 

    • Ali

      In admin, go to Appearance > Editor > It should automatically pull up the stylesheet style.css > you’ll see a css tag “body” just add in the body tag “background-color:#000; “

  • http://www.rundadrun.com Aaron

    I am having trouble getting my images to pull up on the main page. I recently switched to this theme from another, how can I get the images to show up with each post on the main page to look like the demo? Thanks in advance.

    • Tmartin

      I second this, how can the image on the homepage in the left column populate without clicking?

  • http://www.gearaffiti.com Bilal Shaheen

    I wish it was more clean looking. It just seems so cluttered

  • http://www.gearaffiti.com Bilal Shaheen

    the theme looks so clutterd. I would say that there are better themes than this
