A serious magazine theme, with AI baked in
Vamika is built for editorial sites that take their writing seriously. Underneath the AI layer, it's a full magazine theme — long-form typography, an opinionated editorial colour system, responsive layouts, and translation-ready markup.
Pair it with the IrisAI plugin and every template becomes a conversation: one-click summaries, per-article chat, semantic search, author voice profiles, and a conversational homepage. Activate just the theme and you still get a beautifully designed magazine — AI features light up the moment the plugin is installed.
Hero on the homepage
Read less.
Understand more.
Every prompt label and text is editable from Appearance → Customize → Hero.
Everything in the box
Vamika ships as a complete editorial system — not a starter theme you'll need to rebuild.
AI-aware on every template
Posts, authors, categories, tags, archives, search, and even the 404 page are wired for IrisAI — readers can ask about anything they're looking at.
Magazine-grade homepage
Featured stories, category grids, editorial sections, and a configurable hero with rotating AI prompts for instant reader engagement.
Immersive single post
Long-form typography, a reading-progress bar, sticky Iris AI sidebar, related posts, and reaction buttons — built for readers who stay.
Author profile pages
Dedicated author pages with bio, stats, and an essay listing — perfect for editorial sites with named writers and voice profiles.
Year-grouped archives
Archive and category pages render as issue grids grouped by year, making it easy to browse a deep back catalogue.
Services page template
Includes a complete services template for editorial consultancies, agencies, and freelancers — hero, tracks, work, stats, and CTA.
Full Customizer integration
Tune the hero headline, AI prompts, stats, header CTA, footer tagline, and newsletter copy from Appearance → Customize.
Locally bundled fonts
Bricolage Grotesque, Fraunces, and JetBrains Mono — all served from your own domain. GDPR-safe, no external CDN calls, no visitor tracking.
Optional Elementor widgets
Install the companion Iris Theme Kit plugin to unlock 15+ Elementor widgets — hero chat, featured stories, semantic search, services, about, contact.
Accessibility-ready
Semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, skip-to-content link, threaded comments, keyboard-friendly navigation, and full translation-ready markup.
Standards-compliant
WordPress 6.4+, PHP 7.4+, GPL v2 or later. No required plugins, no premium dependencies, and a clean classic theme architecture.
Graceful AI fallback
Without the IrisAI plugin, Vamika still runs as a serious magazine theme. AI features light up automatically when the plugin is installed.
Every template, AI-aware
Thirteen finished templates and partials — covering everything from your homepage to a not-found page.
