Most WordPress theme lists bore me. So I made one that’s actually useful. This post covers 15+ WordPress themes that real users love, backed by solid ratings, and good numbers of “active installations.” I picked only themes people genuinely like, not just ones that look good on demos.
I avoided trendy but limited themes, too. What you’re looking at here aren’t some niche options. They’re flexible and will look great for nearly any project.
I’m sharing these choices so you can quickly find a WordPress theme that works for your site today.

Before we dive into the main list, I want to quickly highlight a theme of our own creation – Neve. As of this writing, Neve continues to be one of the most popular themes in the official WordPress directory (with 5,413,792
total downloads so far). We didn’t hold any punches when building this theme. It packs a ton of features, and it’s one of the few themes out there that doesn’t limit any crucial functionality in the free version.
