ZUM - Personal Blog WordPress Theme 2.0.0

ZUM (developed by iDoodle) is a premium, high-end WordPress theme designed specifically for personal blogs, luxury lifestyle magazines, and affiliate marketing sites. It stands out for its "Material Design" aesthetic—using clean lines, subtle shadows, and a focus on high-quality typography.

In 2026, it is favored by bloggers who want an "extraordinary" look that feels more like a custom-coded luxury site than a standard template.

Core Features & Design Options

Advanced Header System: ZUM offers multiple unique header styles and background variations, allowing you to switch between transparent, sticky, or centered navigation with a single click.

WPBakery Integration: The theme includes the WPBakery Page Builder ($64 value), enabling you to create complex layouts using a drag-and-drop interface without coding.

Affiliate-Ready Layouts: Specifically designed with bloggers in mind, it features dedicated areas for banner ads and stylish ways to integrate affiliate links.

Post Format Support: It handles diverse content types beautifully, including Standard, Gallery, Video, Audio, Quote, and Status posts.

Unlimited Color Customization: Includes a backend color picker that lets you globally change the theme's color palette to match your branding.

Why Choose ZUM?

Luxury Aesthetic: While many blog themes are minimal to the point of being plain, ZUM uses "Luxury Design" elements that give your content a more premium feel.

Performance: Despite its visual flair, it is coded using the latest standards to ensure fast loading times, which is critical for 2026's Google Search rankings.

Flexibility: It functions equally well as a simple "one-column" personal diary or a complex "grid-style" online magazine.

Important Distinction: The XD/PSD Version

When searching for ZUM, you may find the "ZUM Interface Adobe XD Template" or PSD version. These are design files only for developers. Ensure you are purchasing the WordPress Theme if you intend to install it on your website.

Implementation Tip

If you are migrating from another theme, use the One-Click Demo Import feature. ZUM’s luxury look relies heavily on specific spacing and header settings; importing the demo data allows you to simply replace the text and images rather than configuring the complex header logic from scratch.
