Kolyoum (stylized as Kolyoum!) is a high-performance, multipurpose magazine WordPress theme developed by Bdaia. It is specifically designed for content-heavy websites that require both social community features and extreme mobile speed.
As of late 2025, it remains a preferred choice for news portals, tech blogs, and community forums due to its native integration of the three major industry standards: BuddyPress, AMP, and RTL Support.
Native AMP Support: Kolyoum is built with Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) as a core feature rather than an afterthought. This ensures your news articles load almost instantly on mobile devices, which is a critical ranking factor in 2025.
BuddyPress Social Networking: Unlike standard magazine themes, Kolyoum includes full design support for BuddyPress. You can turn your news site into a social network where users can create profiles, send messages, and join groups.
10+ Predefined Demos: Includes one-click demo imports for various niches, including:
Breaking News: A high-density traditional newspaper layout.
Gaming/Esports: Dark-themed, high-visual layout.
Tech/Gadgets: Focused on reviews and technical specs.
Political/International: A sober, authority-focused design.
Advanced Ad Management: Features responsive Google AdSense support and built-in ad slots across headers, sidebars, and within article content to maximize revenue.
Full RTL Support: One of the strongest themes for Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Persian languages, with pixel-perfect right-to-left layout mirroring.
