Hello, I'd like to request some features in PenNews theme and also provide suggestions.
ADS
In customizer, please shift all the AD slots to a single page so that they are easy to find and easily accessible.
ADS Request: PenNews currently does not offer option to add AD's between the article (After 1st para or 2nd/3rd etc (with option to count them from post bottom)). Please add it with option to select AD size for responsive AD units (Auto/rectangle/vertical/300x250/336x280 etc.) Moreover. Also add option to align the ads to left / center / right (Texts wraps around left / right aligned ads).
Please add an AD Slot
for under the Post TITLE
Before Social Sharing buttons
After Social Sharing buttons
Before Previous / Next Posts
After Previous / Next Posts
Before Related / After Related
More AMP Ad slots
Please AD a dedicated widget to add Adsense / Amazons / Media.net etc scrips or Photos with Affiliate links (option to do these links rel="nofollow')
Feature Requests -
Please add option to set / customize width of total body width / left side bar / right side bar / content box (all at one place).
Add options to to choose different sidebar position options like Body / sidebar 1 / sidebar 2 or sidebar 2 / sidebar 1 / body etc.
Add features to add Affiliate products with visually appealing buy buttons
Please Please Please add feature to add specifications of products (mobiles, Tablets, gadgets etc). For example (Display / CPU / GPU / RAM / Storage etc.). Also integrate feature to compare specifications of two or more products.
Make the theme even faster with more SEO enhancements
Good too see you guys actually hearing me / us out.
I'd like to report some bugs, suggestions, requests which I think will better your theme.
Issues / Bugs -
1) All the ADS align to left side. They should align in center. See attached TA-AD-issue-1.jpg
2) There are several HTML Improvement errors in Webmaster tools (got them after switching to Pennews). There are several errors for duplicate titles (amp and non AMP) (/ and without /). I think there is some canonical issue with AMP (please check). See attached image HTML-Improvements-1.jpg
3) Site Width tool which was newly introduced is broken, at least for 3 columns. Whatever change we make don't happen. Please check TA-Sitewidth-1.jpg
4) After updating, AMP Ads have stopped working (Need urgent solution). (Working Now, May be its Google)
5) "View Desktop Version" button in AMP should open the particular page or article and not homepage.
Suggestions -
1) Site Width: Current tool with graphic visuals is great (with bugs though) but there is an easy solution. Simply add place holders where users can write pixels.
For Example - left side bar = 300 pixels / main body = 790 pixels / right sidebar - 300 pixels.
The number of pixels can be modified according to users choice thus allowing one to easily set widths of of sidebar and content area.
2) ADS: PenNews 6.0 also came with Ads Manage where one can include shortcodes inside article. Great. I'd suggest you guys to have your very own Ads Plugin. Which has all the add options and all the slots at one place.
Also please add feature to automatically include ADs / Scripts / photos (etc.) after X Paragraph / Headings or before X Paragraph / Headings (counting from up or bottom). This way, the script auto adds Adsense after X posts (like after 1st or 2nd para). Also please add a feature where users can set AD sizes (Auto / Rectangle / Vertical / 300 x 250 / 336 x 280 etc.)
3) Quotes are too big. I personally use quotes when someone has commented on a launch. Those are huge paragraphs which looks bad with current styling. To fix this i've to use simple italics and not use quotes.
Requests -

I will send that issues with our developers team to check it now.
About your suggestion, we're really need to consider. Currently, this theme has 1k customers and the features request is too much... We can't do all of that - so we need to consider what's features needed for the theme & most customers need
1) ADS aligning to left issue is still there. (need urgent fix as the bellow header AD sometimes is aligned at the left side). Does not happen all time but several times.
2) HTML Improvements duplicate errors are there.
3) Site Width tool seems to be fixed after i re-uploaded the Theme files (overwrite).

Hi,
1/ I see all the ads displayed on your site with center, can you tell me where it doesn't center?
2/ That's not bugs because It's your AMP pages & non-AMP pages:

3/ Thank you for let us know.

Ads align to left -
There is no particular URL. Any URL with Adsense has issue.
Update - Issues seems to happen mainly in Firefox Browser.
It works fine in Chrome / Edge (tried multiple times to reproduce issue but failed).
Hi,
I checked your site multiple times on Firefox and I see it working fine:
