The free WordPress Theme Detector identifies the theme a WordPress website is running. Enter the site's address and the tool inspects the page and detects the active theme, and often the plugins in use as well. It is a great way to find the theme behind a design you admire or to research how a site is put together. It is free and needs no account.

WordPress sites are built on themes that control their design and layout. Because of how WordPress works, a site's theme usually leaves identifiable traces in its code, which this tool reads to name the theme. It is a favorite of designers and site builders looking for inspiration or a starting point.

How to Detect a WordPress Theme

  1. Enter a WordPress site. Type the address of the site you want to check.
  2. Detect. The tool inspects the site and identifies its theme.
  3. See the result. View the detected theme, and any plugins found.

What It Can and Cannot Detect

This tool works on sites built with WordPress, so the first thing it establishes is whether a site is running WordPress at all. When it is, the theme is usually detectable from the traces it leaves in the page. There are limits, though. A heavily customized theme, a custom-built one, or a site that deliberately hides its theme information may not be identifiable, and the tool will say so rather than guess. Likewise, a site that is not built on WordPress has no WordPress theme to find. So a clear result names the theme, and when detection is not possible, the honest answer is that it could not be determined.

When to Detect a WordPress Theme

  • Finding design inspiration. Identify the theme behind a site you like.
  • Researching a build. See how a WordPress site is put together.
  • Choosing a theme. Discover which themes real sites use.
  • Checking a competitor. Learn what a rival WordPress site is running.
