Puzzles | WP Magazine / Review with Store WordPress Theme + RTL 4.2.4

Puzzles is a highly versatile and uniquely designed WordPress theme by ThemeREX, specifically built for magazines, review portals, and online stores. Its hallmark is its "grid" or "puzzle" style layout, which is particularly effective for sites with high content volume like gaming blogs, movie review sites, or tech news portals.

One of its most significant advantages for global businesses is its full RTL (Right-to-Left) support, making it an excellent choice for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.

## Core Review & Magazine Features

Advanced Review System: Includes a robust built-in rating system where you can set your own criteria (e.g., Graphics, Gameplay, Price) and allow users to submit their own scores.

3 Rating Styles: You can choose to display ratings as Stars, 1/10 Numbers, or Percentages.

Niche Layouts: Comes with several premade homepages including "Metro" style, "Slider" style, and "Standard Stream" for classic blogging.

Hub System: Allows you to associate related news, videos, and products with a central "Review Hub" for a specific topic.

It also features 100+ shortcodes and widgets to help you build complex sidebars or post content easily.

[!WARNING]

Security Update: As with many long-standing themes, ensure you are running the latest version (v4.2.2 or higher). Older versions were susceptible to input validation vulnerabilities that have since been patched by the developer.
