The Places to Find Free Premium WordPress Themes

To create a well-designed WordPress website, focusing to find premium WordPress elements may be a priority. But can bloggers find free premium WordPress themes, plug-ins, and add-ons for their websites? The simple answer is – yes!

Maybe a decade ago, good, reliable resources are hard to come by. To the point that bloggers have developed a “we-get-what-we-pay-for” mindset. We think that if we get anything for free, we compromise quality and experience. We think that free WordPress stuff means many things. This can be hidden broken links, minimal to no customer support, no regular updates, bugs, and errors galore!

But, we do have to give generous creators credit. Why? There are so many premium-like WordPress themes available for our use now – as long as you know where to look.

While most of these premium WordPress themes are offered for a fee (at a site like ThemeForest), there are some free premium WordPress themes out there. Most of these themes don’t have hidden or shady advertising. Also, they still promise regular updates to decrease errors or compatibility issues.

  • Thanks for these lists. It’s about time I changed my theme – I always used free themes and modified them. I am still using some of those black and white free woothemes on some of my blogs.

  • I’m sorry but there is no proof the free WordPress Themes are better or worse than paid or premium. This is a myth.

    In the early days, many so called premium Themes were stuffed with malware and spam links.

    Themes from the official WordPress Theme Directory, paid and free, are vetted by Theme Reviewers. That is the single safest place for quality WordPress Themes. The places you have listed have a decent reputation, too.

    Please do not perpetuate the unqualified myths of free WordPress Themes as it trashed the reputation of too notch web designers and developers,releasing portfolio work and giving back to the WordPress Community.

  • Good post, thanks for that!
    You are absolutely right, there is so many themes that you can get for free that you shouldn’t really pay for it.
    Of course I’m talking about free (LEGAL) Themes, that are not stallen from anywhere. When downloading always make sure you get a licence free theme from legitimate source, for example http://tutlr.net this place does freebie of the week and I got myself brilliant magazine theme and also some HTML5 templates.
    Cheers, Andrew
