Sahifa 5.8.6 – News, Magazine & Blog WordPress Theme

Description

Sahifa has powered news portals and blogs for over a decade, and its appeal is simplicity: a drag-and-drop homepage builder with news blocks, sliders and carousels, plus clean article templates that are easy to read on any screen.

Publishers get a built-in review system with scores, breaking-news ticker, mega menus, ad management and a lightweight options panel. It is an older, classic design compared with TieLabs’ newer Jannah, but it remains stable and familiar. Version 5.8.6 was updated on 7 November 2025.
