Many themes include a page builder for straightforward customization.</p> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-can-a-wordpress-theme-do"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="What_Can_a_WordPress_Theme_Do"></span>What Can a WordPress Theme Do?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>WordPress themes help site owners build a website without coding it from scratch. You can simply activate a theme from the WordPress directory or purchase it via a third-party shop and upload the file to your WordPress admin area.</p> <p>A theme can drastically change the design of your site with <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Features" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">theme features</a> such as:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Navigation menus.</li> <li>Custom headers.</li> <li>Custom backgrounds.</li> <li>Sidebars.</li> <li>Post formats.</li> </ul> <p>A new <a href="/tutorials/what-is-wordpress" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">WordPress website</a> comes with an installed default theme that is simple and lightweight. You can either use it or change it to a free or premium theme. Some <a href="/wordpress-hosting" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">WordPress hosting</a> providers also include free themes into their packages.</p> <p>Note that the design elements might significantly change once you replace WordPress themes since each of them often has a specific style and purpose. For example, some might be more suited for complex business sites, while others are perfect for simple portfolios.</p> <p>By default, users can only activate one theme at a time. To activate <a href="/tutorials/how-to-use-multiple-wordpress-themes" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">multiple WordPress themes</a>, install a plugin like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-multiple-themes/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Multiple Themes</a>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-Multiple-Themes-plugins-thumbnail-showing-8-themes.webp" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="960" height="328" src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-Multiple-Themes-plugins-thumbnail-showing-8-themes.webp" alt="The Multiple Themes plugin’s thumbnail showing 8 themes" class="wp-image-54182" srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-Multiple-Themes-plugins-thumbnail-showing-8-themes.webp 960w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-Multiple-Themes-plugins-thumbnail-showing-8-themes-300x103.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-Multiple-Themes-plugins-thumbnail-showing-8-themes-150x51.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-Multiple-Themes-plugins-thumbnail-showing-8-themes-768x262.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></figure> <p>Unlike a <a href="/tutorials/what-is-wordpress-plugin" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">WordPress plugin</a> that adds a specific feature to a site, a theme <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/what-is-a-theme/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">should not have crucial functionality</a>.

A theme controls the appearance of an entire site, while a template defines a single-page layout.</p> <p>Two required WordPress theme files are:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Index.php </strong>– the main WordPress template file.</li> <li><strong>Style.css </strong>– the primary style file.</li> </ul> <p>A theme’s folder may also include additional files, such as:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>PHP files, including the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-files/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">template files</a> for building classic themes.</li> <li>Blocks and HTML files for developing block themes.</li> <li><a href="/tutorials/css-cheat-sheet" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">CSS stylesheet</a>.</li> <li>Graphics.</li> <li><a href="/tutorials/what-is-javascript" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">JavaScript</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Some WordPress themes offer multiple template files for further customization within the general theme. For example, a theme can contain two landing page templates – a full-width and narrow-width version – or have a different look for blog and portfolio pages.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-types-of-wordpress-themes"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Types_of_WordPress_Themes"></span>Types of WordPress Themes<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>There are <a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">over 9,000 free themes</a> in the WordPress theme directory alone, not to mention the ones available on marketplaces.</p> <p>To help users filter themes based on specific needs, the WordPress directory categorizes its themes into:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Layout</strong> – classifies themes based on a page format, such as a three-column or grid layout.</li> <li><strong>Features</strong> – refer to specific attributes many people look for in a theme, like RTL language support and footer widgets.</li> <li><strong>Subject</strong> – groups themes according to their purpose and niche, such as portfolio and education themes.</li> </ul> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject.webp" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="704" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20704'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="The WordPress directory's filter feature showing three columns – Layout, Features, and Subject" class="wp-image-54183" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-1024x704.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-300x206.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-150x103.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-768x528.webp 768w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject.webp 1106w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" data-lazy-src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-1024x704.webp" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="704" src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-1024x704.webp" alt="The WordPress directory's filter feature showing three columns – Layout, Features, and Subject" class="wp-image-54183" srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-1024x704.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-300x206.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-150x103.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject-768x528.webp 768w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-WordPress-directorys-filter-feature-showing-three-columns-–-Layout-Features-and-Subject.webp 1106w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript></a></figure> <p>Besides these categories provided in the WordPress directory’s filter feature, we will discuss other types of WordPress themes in more depth below, starting with free and premium themes.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-free-wordpress-themes-vs-premium-themes"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Free_WordPress_Themes_vs_Premium_Themes"></span>Free WordPress Themes vs. Premium Themes<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3> <p>Independent developers and high-end vendors typically create <a href="/tutorials/best-free-wordpress-themes/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">free WordPress themes</a> as a tempter for their premium packages.</p> <p>They are an excellent option for users with a limited budget. Furthermore, they are available in the <strong>WordPress.org</strong> theme directory, requiring them to pass a strict <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">review process</a>. As a result, users can be confident about their quality and security.</p> <p>Free themes are also easy to access as users can browse and activate them directly from the admin dashboard.</p> <p>A major disadvantage of free WordPress themes is their limited support, whether it’s in the form of documentation or direct communication with the creators. Some developers provide support via WordPress forums, but they are not obliged to do so.</p> <p>This can be an issue if you have to troubleshoot a bug or change an element in the theme.</p> <p>Another drawback is their lack of uniqueness. Free themes are widely available and have limited customization features, which might make your site’s design look generic and require some coding knowledge or a <a href="/tutorials/wordpress-page-builders" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">page builder</a> to personalize it.</p> <p>Unlike free themes, the premium version is available for purchase on third-party WordPress theme shops, like:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.elegantthemes.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Elegant Themes</a></li> <li><a href="https://wpastra.com/?bsf=5643" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WPAstra</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.studiopress.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">StudioPress</a></li> <li><a href="https://themeforest.net/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ThemeForest</a></li> </ul> <p>Alternatively, purchase a premium theme directly from theme developers, like <a href="https://athemes.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">aThemes</a> and <a href="https://themeisle.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ThemeIsle</a>. Dedicated developers typically have multiple theme portfolios and often provide top-level customer support. However, they might not display user ratings like in a theme marketplace or WordPress theme directory.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells.webp" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="650" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20650'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="ThemeIsle's website showing Neve theme, one of the available themes it sells" class="wp-image-54184" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-300x190.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-150x95.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-768x488.webp 768w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" data-lazy-src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-1024x650.webp" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="650" src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-1024x650.webp" alt="ThemeIsle's website showing Neve theme, one of the available themes it sells" class="wp-image-54184" srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-300x190.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-150x95.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/ThemeIsles-website-showing-Neve-theme-one-of-the-available-themes-it-sells-768x488.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript></a></figure> <p>Here are some of the biggest advantages of using premium WordPress themes:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Advanced features</strong> – include custom content and graphics as well as <a href="/tutorials/what-is-seo/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">search engine optimization (SEO)</a> features.</li> <li><strong>Unique web design</strong> – choose from many personalization options, including integrated drag-and-drop builders, multiple templates, and extensive color choices.</li> <li><strong>Regular support </strong>– reach out via the forum, email, or phone.</li> </ul> <p>However, advanced functionality in premium WordPress themes may bloat code, overload the server, and affect loading speed.

Some features to consider finding in a WordPress theme are:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Social media widgets</li> <li>Accessibility</li> <li>Translation support</li> <li>Contact form on the homepage</li> <li>Comment section or forum</li> <li>eCommerce compatibility</li> </ul> <p>Next, list your preferred site design options, like layout and editor styles. Many WordPress themes are customizable, but we recommend choosing the one that reflects your brand image for a faster development process.</p> <p>A great tip is to check a WordPress theme’s demo sites. Click on the <strong>Theme Homepage </strong>link on the official directory if you decide on free themes. Then, click on the <strong>View Demo Sites </strong>button. Note that on other websites this button can have a different name.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a

Consider SEO<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3> <p>A WordPress theme can influence website performance, including stability and speed, which is vital for search engine optimization (SEO).</p> <p>Therefore, avoid picking a bloated theme that is cluttered with features and codes.

Ensure you can disable unnecessary items to avoid slowing down your WordPress site.</p> <p>Double-check the information by installing the theme in your blank site and using a <a href="/tutorials/website-speed-test/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">speed test</a> tool like <a href="https://gtmetrix.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GTmetrix</a> or <a href="https://tools.pingdom.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pingdom Tools</a> to check the page size.

Simply right-click on the demo site, choose <strong>Inspect</strong>, and select a preferred screen dimension or adjust it manually using the handles.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles.webp" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="497" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20497'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Chrome's Developer Tool to check a site's responsiveness using the screen dimension options or handles" class="wp-image-54198" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-300x146.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-150x73.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-768x373.webp 768w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-1536x746.webp 1536w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" data-lazy-src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-1024x497.webp" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="497" src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-1024x497.webp" alt="Chrome's Developer Tool to check a site's responsiveness using the screen dimension options or handles" class="wp-image-54198" srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-300x146.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-150x73.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-768x373.webp 768w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/Chromes-Developer-Tool-to-check-a-sites-responsiveness-using-the-screen-dimension-options-or-handles-1536x746.webp 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript></a></figure> <p>A responsive theme will help users:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Read the text without zooming in or out.</li> <li>Navigate the page seamlessly without any horizontal scrolling to see the entire content.</li> <li>Reach other sections easily.</li> </ul> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-ensure-the-plugin-and-browser-compatibility"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="5_Ensure_the_Plugin_and_Browser_Compatibility"></span>5. Ensure the Plugin and Browser Compatibility<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3> <p>While themes help make a website visually appealing, plugins add functionality. Therefore, find a theme supporting plugins you need to avoid compatibility issues.</p> <p>Check the theme description and its official website, or contact the developer to know the details.</p> <p>Depending on your website type, some popular and useful plugins include:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>AIOSEO </strong>– an <a href="/tutorials/best-seo-plugins-wordpress" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">SEO plugin</a> to add meta descriptions and keywords and audit the SEO performance for the entire site.</li> <li><strong>WooCommerce</strong> – a WordPress eCommerce plugin for an online business owner.</li> <li><strong>WPForms</strong> – a <a href="/tutorials/wordpress-contact-form-plugins" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow">form builder</a> to create contact, order, and survey forms.</li> </ul> <p>Specific website types may also need other plugins. For instance, a food blogger will need a recipe plugin, and a travel blogger can attach a mapping plugin.</p> <p>Next, see if the WordPress theme is compatible with different browsers. Open the theme’s demo site on several popular browsers like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome to ensure it performs and appears well.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-calculate-your-budget"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="6_Calculate_Your_Budget"></span>6. Calculate Your Budget<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3> <p>Having a premium theme is not a must since many free options are available. Both types of themes have pros and cons, so consider your needs and budget when deciding on one.</p> <p>A free theme might be suitable for users who are just starting.</p> <p>However, we recommend sticking to the official WordPress theme director for safety if you use free themes. It is also critical to check if the developers are active in the WordPress forum or provide documentation to help you figure out the theme’s customization options or troubleshoot problems.</p> <p>Meanwhile, an online store or a bigger organization can use a paid theme and take full advantage of its customization features and personalized support.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-7-keep-up-to-date-with-reviews-and-releases"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="7_Keep_Up_to_Date_With_Reviews_and_Releases"></span>7. Keep Up to Date With Reviews and Releases<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3> <p>Once you decide on a theme, check the ratings and read the reviews before activating it.</p> <p>For a free theme in the WordPress directory, find the testimonials on the theme listing page and select<strong> See All </strong>in the <strong>Ratings </strong>section.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page.webp" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="follow"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="427" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20427'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="the See All link in the WordPress theme page" class="wp-image-54200" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-300x125.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-150x63.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-768x320.webp 768w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-1536x641.webp 1536w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" data-lazy-src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-1024x427.webp" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="427" src="/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-1024x427.webp" alt="the See All link in the WordPress theme page" class="wp-image-54200" srcset="https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page.webp 1024w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-300x125.webp 300w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-150x63.webp 150w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-768x320.webp 768w,https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/the-See-All-link-in-the-WordPress-theme-page-1536x641.webp 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript></a></figure> <p>Similarly, read user comments when you pick a premium theme. Generally, you can find them at the bottom of the theme page or sidebar on a theme marketplace.</p> <p>The theme’s latest update date is also an important aspect to consider. Even if a theme is well-coded, it may be full of outdated code and contain security vulnerabilities if the last update was a few years ago.</p> <p>The coding and security standards are constantly changing. That is why you should check the information on the <strong>Last Updated</strong> section on the theme listing page and only pick those that have been updated in the last six months. Older than that may already be vulnerable to bugs and incompatible with the latest WordPress version.</p> <p>For a more in-depth security test, check the theme’s demo site using the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-check/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Theme Check</a> plugin or a Chrome extension like <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/guardio-protection-for-ch/gjfpmkejnolcfklaaddjnckanhhgegla?hl=en" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Guardio Protection</a>.

Users can modify specific elements, including layout and fonts, using a customizer via the WordPress dashboard or additional page builders.</p> <p>While WordPress themes affect your whole website, templates only have an impact on a single page’s layout.</p> <p>There are many themes, covering multiple needs, price points, and niches. Generally, free WordPress themes are easy to install but limited in functionality, and premium themes offer more advanced features at higher prices.</p> <p>Picking a theme can be a daunting process with the abundant options, so consider these seven aspects during the process:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Your needs and website type</li> <li>Customization options</li> <li>SEO</li> <li>Responsiveness</li> <li>Browser and plugin compatibility</li> <li>Price</li> <li>Reviews and the latest update date</li> </ul> <p>Now that you know the fundamental concept of a WordPress theme, find the right one for your site and start the development journey today.
