# News

Aragorn restyles the whole news plugin — listings, the article view, the grid and every news menu — from Bootstrap 3 to Tabler markup. Nothing needs configuring for this to take effect: the theme's template overrides are picked up automatically once Aragorn is the active theme.

Where news appears in the theme:

| Page                                    | Layout    | Notes                                                                                                           |
| --------------------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| News listing (`news.php`)               | `sidebar` | Can also be the site's front page — see [news.php as front page](/e107-aragorn-theme/plugins/news/news-php.md). |
| Article view                            | `sidebar` |                                                                                                                 |
| News grid                               | any       | A menu, usually placed on the home page — see [News grid](/e107-aragorn-theme/plugins/news/news-grid.md).       |
| News menus (latest, category, archive…) | any       | Sidebar or footer menu areas.                                                                                   |
