Overview
A data-dense block theme for business and finance news: ledger paper, navy ink, tabular numbers, a market strip, frosted key-number cards, explainers and live coverage.
Bourse is built for markets, money and the economy: ledger-cream paper on a faint grid, deep navy ink, Literata headlines and Manrope text with tabular numbers everywhere, thin double rules, and a market strip under the header that turns the breaking ticker into a quotes bar. Cards are translucent and ruled in their section's color, key numbers sit on frosted glass and count up, and small up and down triangles mark the movers.
Made for newsrooms
- Section colors. Give every category a color (and an image) and Bourse uses it across cards, kickers, section headings and section pages.
- Breaking and live. Flag a story as breaking for the ticker band; run live coverage with timestamped entries, key events and a pinned summary. New entries appear for readers without reloading ("Show 3 new updates"), and the story is marked up as a LiveBlogPosting for search engines.
- Reviews. Score out of 10 or 5, criteria bars, pros and cons, a verdict, an "Editor's choice" badge and score rings on the cards, with Review structured data.
- Story formats. Standard, feature (a full-height cover), video (the video first), gallery (a full-width carousel) and opinion (the writer leads), each with its own template.
- Bylines that fit a newsroom: several writers, roles, datelines, reading time, "Updated" times, an author box and author pages with photos, beats and social links.
- Trust: key points, sources, corrections, image credits, a link to your editorial standards and honestly labelled partner content.
- Filters: readers narrow any archive or search by section, format, period and score and sort by newest, trending, most discussed or rating.
Built in
- Patterns: heroes (markets open with key numbers, the data band, today's briefing, lead story, live coverage, statement with the newest headlines), key numbers, explainers, partner insight, ask the expert, story grids, rows, opinion walls, forms, footers and page layouts.
- Templates for the home page (front page built from story sections, or the blog home), single stories in every format, sections, tags, authors, search and 404, plus Landing page, Wide page and Front page (no title).
- Style variations: Default (ledger cream and market green), Night trading (dark navy first), Mint and Bordeaux, each with its own light and dark palette.
- Forms, galleries with a lightbox, featured video, gentle motion, reading progress and share buttons, light and dark schemes. No page builder.
Questions
Do I need a plugin?
Live updates, review scores, section colors, sponsors and author profiles are entered with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin; Bourse offers to install it with one click. Without it every page still displays, but the extra fields can't be edited.
How do I run a live blog?
Open the story, set "Live coverage" to Live in the story's details and add entries (time, title, text, key event). Readers on the page see new entries without reloading. Set it to Ended when coverage is over.
How do I give a section its color?
Posts → Categories → edit the category and choose its color (and an optional image). Cards, kickers and the section page use it.
Where do messages from the forms go?
Every message (tips, contact, newsletter) is saved under Messages in the dashboard and emailed to the site's admin email address. Change the recipient under Messages → Settings or in the form block's settings.
How do I get the demo newsroom?
Appearance → Import demo imports "Coastal newsroom": six sections, fourteen stories (live, breaking, reviews, opinion, video, gallery, sponsored), the Home, Reviews, About, Standards and Contact pages and a menu. You can remove it again from the same screen.
How does dark mode work?
The moon/sun button in the header switches between the light and the dark edition and remembers the choice on that device; until then it follows the device setting. The Night trading style variation is dark for everyone.
Can I turn off the animations?
Visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a calm site automatically (the ticker stops). To remove an animation from a block, open the block's Motion panel in the editor.
