Fully Responsive – ZoxPress delivers the same amazing layout and functionality on all devices and is built with a Mobile-First design.

ZoxPress gives you the same option to spruce up your featured items in the Featured Posts section on the homepage and category pages. Retina Ready – Easily upload separate retina logos to maintain a crisp, sharp look on all retina-ready devices. Sticky Featured Videos – ZoxPress comes with an optional feature to allow the featured video on posts to shrink and stick to the bottom of the screen while scrolling down the page so it stays visible at all times, as seen on major news sites. The user can then click a button to close the video. Unlimited Ad Units – ZoxPress 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. ZoxPress also comes with a Wallpaper Ad that spans the width of the screen and site behind the content area.

If you have any questions related to the setup of ZoxPress 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 ZoxPress 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.
