Monarch

Monarch is an innovative theme that can be used on WordPress. It has been programmed to accommodate pages dedicated to community and social networking. Among its many features are three distinct homepage options. Users can choose the default homepage display, which combines small and medium-sized posts in three columns. There are also masonry and timeline options that offer a more symmetric display with two and three-feed columns respectively.  This particular WordPress theme is also unique because it has a widgets page where users can place any widgets of their choosing for easier content access. Then there is the live customizer, which makes interface customization a breeze. Choose color schemes, backgrounds and other display elements to make your page stand out even more.

Equipped with BuddyPress, this theme allows users to make use of special features that are reflective of social media networks from post feeds, user profiles, groups, notifications, and so much more. Additional cover page functionalities enable users to customize their pages even more with beautified headers.  Aside from ensuring that all important elements of social networking sites are made available on a page, BuddyPress also offers other support features like No Captcha reCaptcha, which adds Google’s Captcha confirmation box to the page’s registration form. What this does is prevent robot accounts from being created. It also has a liking component, allowing community members to like any post across the platform.

To foster engagement amongst community members, the theme provides access to bbPress, allowing developers to have an active discussion area within the page. With a translation tool in place, it is easy to utilize the theme for various sites catering to different audience nationalities. Finally, high-resolution content display and an infinite scrolling feature from JetPack automatically loads content when community members approach the bottom of the main page.

This is Scopic, a timeline theme that was pretty obviously inspired by Tumblr’s unique style.  It’s a great theme for creatives who want to display their work in a really unique, engaging and fun way.  With perfect responsive design, Scopic looks incredible on all sizes of screens, from the smallest handheld device to massive HD displays.  Share images, videos, photos, music, quotes and so much more, all with a chronological layout that shows when everything was published.  Scopic supports tons of great post formats, embed Tweets, Flickr, Instagram and self hosted images, embed video from Youtube or Vimeo and it has SOundCloud support too.

Everline

This is everline, which is mainly meant to be a wedding theme, but there’s a reason I’ve included it in this collection, the fun and unique timeline feature.  What that does, it tells the story, chronologically, of a couple’s journey to marriage.  I think it’s a fun and engaging way to help connect to your guests, some of whom have only known half of the happy couple for maybe only a few weeks.  Days even!  Now, even though this is styled as a wedding theme, there’s a lot that changing the images, maybe a few fonts and some of the overall design, can do to turn this into a sort of general purpose web template.  But really, it’s a wedding theme and in the event that you actually are looking for more Wedding themes for wordPress, check out our collection.


Postline

The Postline WordPress theme, from Themify.me, is a totally responsive timeline that that was quite obviously inspired by the Facebook timeline.  The design inspiration shows through, though it’s not derivative in the least.  Timeline is a template that was specifically tailor made to highlight a variety of different post format types, quotes and images, videos and links and of course image galleries.  Post Line lets you tell your story the way you want to tell it.  This theme is purely responsive, it looks amazing on any type of device.  Post Line is easy to edit, it’s user friendly on front and back end, the navigation is clear and easy to follow.   Your readers will find it easy and fun to interact with all of your content, no matter what post type and no matter what topic your blog is about. Built for any device, Post Line could be exactly what you want, assuming you’re looking for a timeline theme for WordPress.


 

Share It

Share It is one of those truly creative and interesting WordPress themes that come along only rarely, with a really unique layout that allows you to show off your content in a unique way, with a timeline.  It’s creative with it’s use of a unique and elegant timeline feature that helps tell your story in a way that will really gather a lot of attention.  This is a progressive WordPress timeline template.  Great for a video reel, a personal CV or resume theme, a wedding page, a blog about anything that could benefit from a wonderful and flexible time-line perfectly embedded in the page.  Use it for a wedding page, games reviews, culinary or foodie blog, maybe even a music blog.

Share It has well over 300 options and something over 30 separate post customizable options.  This theme is very adjustable and super simple and user friendly to work with.  You have absolute control over how you edit and customize the various timeline box sections, so you can change the look of the entire site with ease.  If you prefer them to look different than the logo, it’s relatively easy to change.  There are limitless color options too, so you can use the cool looking ‘glass’ effect you see in the demo-site.  That looks a blog modern and fun and will help your content jump off the page.

 

Share It is a creative and fun way to show your content in a really unique, novel way.  This theme has a progressive design, the timeline layout it really different than so many other themes out there.  This theme is great for vCards, personal portfolios, blogs, corporate timelines showing your company’s history and more.  It’s even really strong for creative works like portfolios for photography and more, culinary or music blogs, travel and gaming sites too.  I’d really like to see whatsomebody could do with Share It as a wedding theme too.  Share It is flexible, allowing full control over the timeline boxes, the entire look and feel, from fonts to colors, sizes and placement.
