SecondLine Dixie WordPress Theme

When creating a podcast website, the Dixie Theme offered by SecondLineThemes comes highly recommended for an easy start-up. The best thing about this theme is the way it works with popular plugins such as Seriously Simple Podcasting and PowerPress.

Not only does it provide versatility with its ability to play audio from self-hosted MP3 to simple embedding from sites like YouTube, SoundCloud, or Mixcloud, but it also comes with Elementor integration and custom-made add-ons which enable you to customize the theme colors and fonts without any coding knowledge.

What’s Included in the Dixie Theme by SecondLine

• Dixie has an extremely useful built-in audio player that allows you to easily create attractive episode playlists. You have the option to easily place the audio player wherever you want on your site, whether it be in your post grids or as your page header.
• Dixie makes it easy to manage your audio files. You can upload your files to your WordPress site or grab audio files from other sources and embed them using the podcast player. You can also bring in audio files from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Libsyn, SoundCloud, MixCloud, or YouTube.
• Building an audience takes trust and that’s why Dixie comes with built in “About Us” and “Show Hosts” templates. These templates allow you to easily create pages that give your audience a behind the scenes look at the staff members of your podcast. These pages can include staff member bios and various social media links.

Layout & Visual Customization

Right out of the box, Dixie offers multiple display formats. With this theme, you can showcase episodes using a traditional 1-column list, a 2-to-6 column grid, a dynamic Masonry style, or an interactive Episode Slider.

For an optimal user experience, Dixie supports three different pagination styles. The theme allows users to choose from numbered pages, a “Load More” button, or infinite scroll.

You can adjust your site to complement your brand in just a few clicks. With this theme, you can choose from unlimited color schemes and over 900 Google fonts to edit your site typography and color scheme.
