Today I am going to review Bunchy viral wordpress theme. It’s a new theme with great reviews. Based on 13 plus reviews it has received 5 stars out of 5, and that’s kind of cool.
One of the most important features of Bunchy wordpress theme is its support for the open list. The open list allows visitors and your subscribers to edit an already published post or upload their own list post, article, video or gallery to your site. This feature is very similar to Wikipedia or wikihow. I will discuss in detail later in this review.
Bunchy Viral WordPress Theme Review
By looking at the theme, anyone can say that it looks very similar to BuzzFeed or viral nova. And I think you are absolutely correct.
Bunchy is a theme designed especially for websites which posts contents in the field of entertainment, fun, music and everything “Viral”. It has a very catchy homepage and single post design which makes your visitors keep exploring your site. And I bet that’s what you want.
Below I will try to explain all of its outstanding features in details. And if you really want to explore the elegance of this theme, then I will suggest clicking on the button below.

Header
In the header area, there are mainly four different blocks. I have found it by inspecting the elements on the site.
The first one consist of the post carousel. I think you can use it to showcase your latest or featured posts.
The second one consist of secondary navigation. Over here you can add links to your trending, most viral or most shared posts. On the same block but on the right-hand side you can place buttons for social follow and search.
The third block consists of the main navigation which is customizable through the control panel. You can add category links, login button or create post button. Everything can be customized from wordpress default menu management area.
The fourth block allows you to generate revenue from your visitors. It offers you a 970px wide advertisement block. Over here you add Google Adsense responsive ads or adverts from other companies.
Content Area
Bunchy wordpress theme supports four different types of homepage content layouts. I have listed all of them below.
1. Classic design with one featured post along with sidebar. The classic layout consists of a big thumbnail ( featured image ) along with the post excerpt below it.
2. Grid layout with one featured post and sidebar. It’s a two column grid if you have enabled the sidebar option.
3. List post along with sidebar and featured post. List post layout consists of a small thumbnail on the left-hand side and the post excerpt on the right-hand side.
4. Full width grid layout. Since there is not sidebar enabled, so it’s a 3 column grid.

Single Post Layout – Additional Features
On the single post, you will first find the post header area. Over here you will find author name, total comments, time of publishing. You will also find the post title along with subtitle just below it. Just as you scroll down the post, you will find big attractive social share buttons along with total share count.
At the bottom of the post, there are many different things. You once again have a social share button, author biography box and link to the next and previous post.
Just scroll a bit down and you will see a clean subscription box along with related posts with big thumbnail and post titles.

Comment Area
Bunchy viral wordpress theme makes it easier for your visitors to comment on your blog by allowing them to log in through Facebook or Twitter.
Once they log in, they can comment on any of the posts on the site without entering the common form details again. I think that’s one more cool feature which you will find in this fantastic theme.
Open List
The open list is a feature which is integrated within the bunchy theme, and it is powered by a plugin named Snax. Snax is a premium plugin developed by the same team who developed this theme, and that’s why it comes free with it.
The main feature of this plugin is to add openness to your blog by allowing your readers to contribute to your blog. Your readers can edit the already published posts, or they can upload they own by easy to use frontend editor.
This plugin also adds the functionality of post voting, advertisement, social media and advanced pagination.

Bunchy theme comes with SEO friendly content structure. It is also optimized for Google page speed and mobile devices, which means it is a mobile friendly theme. It also supports popular SEO plugins like Yoast, SEOpressor along with caching plugin like wp super cache, w3 total cache o wp-rocket.
With the help of this theme now you can create beautiful list posts. You can create galleries with gifs, pictures and videos along with facebook and twitter embed.
In order to make your site optimized for social networking; it comes with one of the most popular social share plugin named Mashshare. If you are going to purchase this plugin, it will cost you more than $50 ( including all add-ons ).
