ColorMag theme for WordPress is bundled with a dozen of widgets. With the help of these widgets, you can display different types of posts along with their featured images. For instance, you can display the latest posts or posts of different categories on your front page.

However, when you use many widgets on the same page, some posts that fall into different categories might repeat on different widgets. And, if your posts are duplicated on multiple sections, users might think you’re running out of content. As a result, it may leave a bad impression on your visitors.

Hence, to fix such issues, the premium version of ColorMag offers an awesome feature of a Unique Post System. This feature prevents your articles from being repeated in multiple sections on your front page. In other words, it makes sure that your post is shown only once so that your page looks fresh and non-repetitive. 

Therefore, the Unique Post System is important in a WordPress theme for the following main reasons. 

• First of all, it makes sure your website professional. That’s because it doesn’t let errors like repeating a post happen. 
• The next reason is it increases viewers’ approval, thanks to the fresh posts. Ultimately, this helps to improve the SEO of your site.
