Have you ever visited a website and thought, “This looks great!”? You might wonder which WordPress theme they are using. Knowing the theme can help you make your site look just as good. But how do you find out?

This article will teach you easy ways to find out. You do not need to be a tech expert. Let’s get started!

Why You Might Want to Know the Theme

There are many reasons you might want to know a site’s theme. Maybe you want to build a website that looks similar. Or maybe you just like the style and want to learn more. Knowing the theme can give you ideas for your own site.

Method 1: View Page Source

One easy way is to look at the page’s source code. Here is how you do it:

1. Go to the website you like.
2. Right-click anywhere on the page.
3. Select “View Page Source” or “Inspect”.
4. A new tab will open with lots of code.
5. Press Ctrl+F (or Command+F on Mac) to open the find box.
6. Type “wp-content/themes/” in the find box.
7. Look for the text that comes after “wp-content/themes/”.

This text is usually the name of the theme. It might look something like “twentytwentyone” or “astra”.

Method 2: Use Online Tools

If looking at code seems hard, do not worry. There are online tools that can help. These tools are easy to use. Here are a few popular ones:

• What WordPress Theme Is That: Go to their website, enter the URL of the site, and click “Search”.
• IsItWP: Similar to the first tool, just enter the URL and click “Analyze”.
• WP Theme Detector: Another tool where you paste the URL and get the theme info.

These tools will tell you the theme name and sometimes even the plugins used.

Method 3: Check the Footer

Sometimes the theme name is in the footer of the site. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page. Look for text that says something like “Proudly powered by WordPress” or “Theme by [Theme Name]”. This can be an easy way to find out.

Method 4: Ask the Site Owner

If you still cannot find the theme, you can always ask. Many website owners are happy to share this info. Look for a contact form or an email address on the site. Send a polite message asking about the theme. You might get a helpful response.

Method 5: Use a Browser Extension

Some browser extensions can help you find the theme. These tools work automatically. Here are a couple of popular ones:

• Wappalyzer: This extension tells you the theme and other tech used on the site.
• BuiltWith: Another extension that gives detailed info about the site, including the theme.

Install the extension, visit the site, and click the extension icon. It will show you the theme and other details.

Method 6: Check the Style.css File

Every WordPress theme has a style.css file. This file has details about the theme. Here is how to find it:

1. Go to the website you like.
2. Right-click anywhere on the page.
3. Select “View Page Source” or “Inspect”.
4. A new tab will open with lots of code.
5. Press Ctrl+F (or Command+F on Mac) to open the find box.
6. Type “style.css” in the find box.
7. Look for a link that ends with “/style.css”.
8. Click the link to open it.

The style.css file will have the theme name at the top. It might look something like this:

            /
            Theme Name: Twenty Twenty-One
            Theme URI: https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyone/
            Author: the WordPress team
            /
