Plugins come and plugins go, but WordPress and Google are here to stay.

While many webmasters simply resort to using plugins developed by generous authors to include Google Analytics and Tag Manager in their WordPress websites, there’s no telling when said plugins can mess up the scripts or safety of your website (it’s not paranoia if more than 22% websites actually do get hacked via plugin vulnerabilities).

Made by Themify Flow guru, Michael Oglesby, this tutorial shows how to replicate the popular UK newspaper site, The Guardian, with the Themify Flow. Through the Flow framework he was able to recreate the 3 menu header layout, post category sections, and even the 4 column menu footer layout.

Update: Due to copyright reason, TheGuardian requested this post to be removed.
