Though the number of premium WordPress themes being released seems to have slowed recently, one of the newcomers to the market is Mehmet of Gabfire Themes, who is the author of the popular NewsPro theme, as well as the WP-Showcase theme.
In honor of Mehmet’s release of NewsPro version 2.0, he is celebrating the occasion by offering our readers a chance to win a free single license copy of NewsPro for your private use! Before I get to the details, here is some of the features you get with NewsPro 2.0:
- Installation guide

- Built in Flickr Support
- Video Spot
- Ajax tabs
- Unique newspaper style design
- Easily customizable using CSS
- Advertising Space (125×125 sponsor ads)

Here are a couple screenshots of NewsPro 2.0 (which is available in Blue, Green, and Red colors)

NewsPro is normally available for $59.00 (single use), $159.00 (multiple use), and $259.00 (developer’s license), but as I mentioned above, Mehmet has a special offer for our readers. In order to obtain a single-use license of NewsPro (which includes all three colors), you simply need to leave a comment on this post! That is it. We will then pick two winners at random among all the comments. If you decide to comment, just make sure you use a valid email address so we can contact you if you win.

Thanks for releasing this version. 
As your site has a lot of widgets, so I think it will significantly reduce the server usage. 
I'd love to do the 301 redirect, but it seems that with Wordpress's canonical URLs, redirects create infinite loops that ...
Great gallery. But I wasted 3 months to find a good free wordpress template and finally no one was customizable ...
very nice theme – I thank you for making this available
I wish to have it
Hi Kyle
I really like the look and feel of this NewsPro theme. I would love to have a license for this theme.
Nice theme. Looks like is has some of the Mimbo features in it.
Great new theme. Would love to win a free copy for my site.
NewsPro looks impressive, I wish to get a copy.
very nice theme.
I like the way this theme looks. I am using revolution but this is the closest contender so far.
I have never win anything so I believe it is my time to win this theme.
I’d love to win one of these free licenses. I am currently using Justin Tadlock’s excellent “Options” theme and I would love to compare (and blog about) the difference between free (Mimbo, Options, etc.) and paid solutions, especially these magazine-like themes.
…But it will never happen, because I have no luck…
This is a theme I would love to have!
Great theme. I’d love to win a copy.
Giddyup! Nice theme, hope I make the cut for a copy.
I’d love to win a copy too. Let’s see if I’m lucky, good luck to everyone!
Had not heard of this one. Like the different look, and color option. I’m looking to replace WP Bliss, which i use on my vegetarian blog. But only if a suitable replacement comes along, such as this sweetie.
Nice contest. Good luck to all.
Nice job,
I wish i could win it!
Pick me, pick me!
Amazing, Nice theme!
I’d love to win the theme and creat something great with it;-)
This theme offers come at the right time, I’m now currently searching for a new themes for my new blog about car.
Hope that i can win this offer cause really need a theme for this blog and can’t find the one that suit my blog name…
Thanks.
Great-looking theme! Thanks for making it available.
I’m early on in the process of developing my new website http://www.happyvalleyheroes.com – i.e. building content at the moment. I used Arthemia as my theme but had to mod it some to add some features that I see are part of the NewsPro (cascading page memos for one, email subscription for another) and I’m still working on others (like tabbed features, and the video spot). I’d probably just cut over to NewsPro if I were to win the giveaway.

I bought a single license last month.It works fine in Japanese language ,too.
this is an elegant looking theme. i wonder if the contest is still running? i hope it is.
Very Nice template
Gabfire offers very great themes rich in features.
It’s a nice theme for any type of blog.
Very excellent theme.If I am lucky I’ll surely win a free licence of the theme!
Great theme, the best one i’ve ever seen
This is a great theme for my new personal web site.
It’s a great theme, which suits well with portal and information websites. The theme looks very professional and modern. A little thing is that ad format 125×125 (square) is not so popular in France at least so it’s great for us that we can convert this 4 square banners in only 1
Not only NewsPro, but also the rest of the themes I saw in Gabfire’s website have that professional look. Well done, Mehmet! Keep the good work!
very nice and clean theme
Chokh Guzel! Beautiful theme.
Not only the best magazine theme ever, but the nicest, humble and helpful guy around the blogosphere!
A real amazing theme, I see a lot of theme but I find this one the most appropriate for a newspaper use!
Keep the nice work
maybe best adsense compatible wordpress themes, adsense earnings will increase this themes
NewsPro looks impressive, I wish to get a copy.
Very very nice theme. Gabfire newspro is very suitable for being made for portal. Portal that has SEO friendly. I’m still finding it. And so I wish get a copy.
too expensive
Great theme – wish it will be mine
