How to explore free WordPress themes

As a first port of call, we recommend the official WordPress site. There you can examine the most popular or the latest free WordPress themes. In doing so, use the filter option to narrow down your search. In addition to the "Layout" and "Features" options, the "Theme" is especially a great help. With predefined categories such as "Blog", "News", "Photography" or "Entertainment", you can view only free WordPress themes that have been designed for this purpose.

1. Once you have found the theme of your choice, simply click on "Download". WordPress themes are always downloaded as a ZIP file and as such you can install them.
2. Go to "Design" > "Themes" in your WordPress backend and click "Add New Theme" there.
3. Click on "Upload Theme" > "Browse" and select the previously downloaded ZIP file on your computer.
4. Once the theme is uploaded, please click on "Install Now" and "Activate".

You can find another selection of free themes here. With the 20 themes presented, you can get your own idea of how individual and varied WordPress themes really are.

What to look for in free WordPress themes?

Most free WordPress themes have limited functionality. After all, the free templates are created by professional providers who finance themselves through the premium versions. Nevertheless, free themes are useful for both sides: users get free demo versions, the scope of which is in many cases even sufficient for online use, and the design providers can distribute and advertise their designs without any effort.If you particularly like a free theme and want to work with it permanently, it is worth thinking about buying the premium version. After all, the full versions are not that expensive: a large part of all paid themes costs between 25 and 60 euros - a fair price for the fact that you can use the theme to its full extent in the long term.
