8. Hueman

The Hueman theme is one of our favorite free magazine WordPress themes since it’s completely responsive and provides high-resolution images and layouts for the ideal magazine interface. The theme comes with unique toggle sidebars so that you can easily browse around on tablets and phones.

The customization options are endless, which is nice considering this is a completely free theme. To start, you receive unlimited widget areas, 10 post formats, and unlimited colors for areas such as the top bar, footer, and header. All of this assists in your magazine branding, but the main reason we like the magazine theme is that it lets you feature certain stories at the top of the site. You can also choose to include a slider instead of a stagnant story image.
