The Voxel WordPress Theme is a dynamic content, conditional logic, content restrictions, membership, booking, directory and multivendor split-payments, all-in-one framework, used for building complex dynamic websites.
Voxel excels in use cases where frontend user accounts, post management, multi-vendor booking/sales, and user-to-user messaging are concerned.
With the ability to create and manage custom post types, user profiles, save collections, social wall post feeds, bookings, memberships, subscriptions and map geolocation, all with dynamic visibility and full design control, Voxel is a dynamic content powerhouse.
The Voxel WordPress Theme is developed by the team at 27 Collective, the same team that developed the MyListing directory theme. While many of the early adopters came from a directory use case, the Voxel Theme can be used for much more than just directories.

Voxel Theme Performance
The Voxel Theme boasts outstanding query performance for advanced filtering and faceted search options. This is accomplished through the use of custom index tables dedicated solely to searching and filtering.
Each post type has its own index table, containing only the essential data required for the filters of that specific post type to function. This approach eliminates the need for queries to the wp_posts/wp_postmeta tables, thereby overcoming the traditional limitations of searching the entire wp_postmeta index in WP searches.
Will Voxel use WooCommerce?
No. The Voxel Theme will not require WooCommerce.
Instead, Voxel has a built-in payment system that handles both one-off payments and subscriptions.
Voxel will natively support subscriptions, memberships and bookings, saving users potentially hundreds of dollars each year compared to WooCommerce’s integrations.
Subscriptions, Membership and Bookings will be native to the Voxel Theme
WooCommerce will still work if you choose to install it, as it would with any other theme, but the theme devs do not recommend it.
By removing the reliance on WooCommerce for taking payments and managing the login account, website owners can expect to see a significant reduction in script sizes and requests needed to load each page. This will result in faster page load speeds and a better user experience.
Payment Gateways
Stripe is the only payment gateway currently supported. PayPal is expected to be added in late 2024.
Other payment gateways will be considered in the future.
Supported Page Builders
The Voxel WordPress Theme uses the Elementor page builder (the free version).
Other builders may be supported in the future.
