Tips for Best Results
- Use Blocksy theme or Elementor plugin for optimal spacing and layout
- The plugin archive container is designed for full-width display
- Combine multiple shortcodes on the same page for varied layouts
- Use category filtering to organize content logically
Theme Recommendations
For the best experience with Arewa APK Apps Manager, we highly recommend using themes and builders that work seamlessly with the plugin’s layout system.
1. Blocksy Theme (Highly Recommended)
- Provides optimal spacing and padding
- Works perfectly with the plugin’s archive container
- No excessive padding or spacing issues
- Clean and professional appearance
2. Elementor Page Builder
- Native widget integration
- Drag-and-drop functionality
- Full style customization
- Perfect shortcode display inside Elementor layouts
Why These Work Best
The plugin’s archive container
(arewa-apk-archive-container) is designed for full-width display.
Blocksy and Elementor are optimized to work with the plugin’s CSS, ensuring:
- Proper full-width layout
- Minimal padding that does not interfere with grid layouts
- Clean and professional appearance
- Responsive behavior across all devices
Working with Other Themes
The plugin includes CSS overrides to ensure compatibility with most WordPress themes. However, if you experience spacing or layout issues, we recommend:
- Using the shortcode display mode instead of the archive page
- Adding custom CSS to override theme-specific padding
- Using a page builder such as Elementor for better layout control
