If you’re already using the free version of the Toocheke theme, you know it’s built specifically for webcomic creators. It gives you the foundation you need to publish, organize, and present your comics in a clean, reader-friendly way.
But Toocheke Premium is where things move from “I have a comic website” to “I run a professional, monetized webcomic platform.”
Toocheke Premium adds powerful tools that are not available in the free version — tools designed to improve reader experience, increase engagement, and open up multiple monetization paths for your comics.
Here’s what you unlock when you upgrade.
1. Hero Section Home Page Slider
Create a dynamic, eye-catching home page with a hero slider.
You can highlight:
- Featured comics
- Announcements
- Promotions
- New series
- Sponsorships
Enable it from:
Appearance → Customize → Home Slider
Upload slides from:
Toocheke → Premium Hub
This instantly makes your site feel more like a professional comic portal rather than a simple blog layout.
2. Slider Layouts for Comic Navigation (Home Page)
This is one of the coolest Premium features.
Readers can navigate through comic posts directly from the home page without loading new pages. It creates a smooth, modern browsing experience that keeps readers engaged longer.

3. Panel-by-Panel Swipe Navigation (Instagram-Style)
Each comic post can be navigated panel by panel with a swipe gesture — just like Instagram.
This dramatically improves the mobile reading experience and feels natural for modern audiences.
Enable from:
Toocheke → Options → Navigation
4. Patreon Integration (Built-In Paywall System)
Toocheke Premium works directly with the Patreon plugin to allow you to:
- Hide comics behind Patreon tiers
- Require Patreon login from your navigation bar
- Incentivize supporters with exclusive content
- Reward patrons through your commenting system
