WordPress 6.6 Compatible. Last Update on: 17 July 2024 | version 5.6- Change Log

Extinct is a WordPress Portfolio theme delicately handcrafted to meet the needs of a creative agency or similar businesses. The name Extinct is derived from the fact that this theme is a celebration of old style, popularly known as Vintage and Retro style designs and incorporates various unique design elements inspired by these styles. It’s a result of our extensive study of design of countless actual Retro/Vintage style websites, posters, prints.

Extinct Theme Features

The theme pages are built using popular SiteOrigin page builder which powers nearly a million sites on the web. Extinct comes bundled with 20+ custom page builder elements/widgets that are accessible for easy insertion and configuration in the page builder. In addition to the custom theme widgets, we support 17+ page builder elements that are part of our popular SiteOrigin widgets plugin.

Extinct features an attractive and unique blog design and can be used to power blogs just as easily as portfolio or other content sites. Includes a number of shortcodes for embedding multi-column portfolio entries or blog summaries in any post/page. Additionally, there are advanced WP widgets included for listing recent blog posts, for featuring blog posts belonging to a specific category, listing popular blog posts etc.
