Omago News - User Profile Membership & Content Sharing Theme 3.2

Omago News is a specialized, "viral-ready" WordPress theme designed to turn a standard news site into an interactive community. Developed by An-Themes, its core identity revolves around User-Generated Content (UGC) and social membership, making it much more than just a place to read articles.

While Hot Topix is for professional news desks, Omago News is for building a community-driven content portal like BuzzFeed or Reddit-lite.

Core Community & Sharing Features

Ultimate Member Integration: This is the "brain" of the theme. It uses the powerful Ultimate Member plugin to provide beautiful front-end user profiles, registration, and login pages, keeping users away from the clunky WordPress backend.

Front-End Submission: Registered members can submit their own articles, videos, or images directly from the site's interface. This is essential for "viral" growth, as your audience helps create your content.

Fake Share Counter: A unique marketing tool that allows you to display "simulated" social share counts. This creates Social Proof, making new visitors more likely to share content that already looks popular.

Content Restriction: You can restrict specific "Premium" news or videos so that only logged-in members can see them—a great way to grow your email list or membership base.

Top Authors Widget: Features a custom module that highlights your most active or popular contributors, encouraging a sense of competition and "status" within your community.

Why choose Omago News?

Choose Omago News if you want your readers to be participants. If you are running a niche news site (e.g., "Gaming News" or "Local Life") and you want your users to talk to each other, follow their favorite authors, and submit their own stories, this is the perfect framework. It bridges the gap between a "News Site" and a "Social Network."

Important 2025 Note

As of late 2025, Omago News (Version 1.1.x+) remains highly compatible with WordPress 6.7+. Because it relies on the Ultimate Member plugin, it is vital to keep that specific plugin updated to the latest version to ensure your user registration forms remain secure against spam bots.

Would you like me to show you how to set up the "Front-End Submission" form so your users can start posting their own stories, or are you looking for a news theme that is more focused on video (like Netube)?
