Last update: Version 4.5.0 – November 12, 2021 The League is the premier sports news theme for WordPress. Add an instant, undeniable level of credibility and professionalism to your sports news site or blog with a SportsPress compatibility, a Custom Scoreboard, 8 Article Layouts, 4 Featured Posts Layouts, Mobile-First Responsiveness, access to over 800 Google Fonts, and so much more, including Theia Post Slider and Theia Sticky Sidebar included at no extra charge! More Key Features One-Click Demo Import – Quickly set up the theme like the demo with the One Click Demo Import plugin! Optional Custom Scoreboard – Enter and display scores in a matter of seconds with The League’s custom-built scoreboard. You can customize the scoreboard to fit your own team or league by entering the sport or team you need.

The League gives you the same option to spruce up your featured items in the Featured Posts section on the homepage and category pages.

Video/Audio Posts – Easily replace the standard featured image in posts with embedded video or audio from sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and SoundCloud. Retina Ready – The theme and its images look sharp and crisp on retina-ready devices! 800+ Google Fonts – Use any of the over 800 Google Fonts to set the fonts for the general text, navigation menu text, Featured Posts & Headlines, article title, and headings. Unlimited Colors – Easily change the colors of the main background, navigation background/text, the primary theme color, and links to any color from within the Theme Options. Unlimited Ad Units – The League takes full advantage of available ad space to give you a myriad of options to place your ads. The ad units include a main leaderboard area with adjustable height and width that can accommodate any size ad, an Ad Widget that can accommodate 300px wide ads of any height in the sidebar as well as any size leaderboard ad in the homepage widget area.

Support MVP Themes takes pride in its support! If you have any questions related to the setup of The League that are not covered by the theme documentation or if you run into any bugs with the theme, please submit a ticket at the MVP Themes Support Center. Unfortunately, MVP Themes cannot perform customization work for each of our customers, so The League comes “as-is”. Any customization you would like to make to the theme outside of fixing bugs will need to be done by you or a third party.
