The Top 5 WordPress Theme Clubs that the Cool Kids are Part of

by Leave a Comment

Do you remember when you were in high school? Some students excel in sports, some have good grades, and some are just cool at whatever they do.

Most of the time they rule the school and have a club of their own.

Now, let’s relate that in today’s world of digital marketing.

In reality, those cool kids are one of the influencers of the society.

Say for example the fashion stylists and makeup ‘teachers’ on Instagram. If you look for more of the same accounts, you’ll notice that the number of their followers mostly have more than 50,000 followers. These cool Instagram personalities may have been doing something right.

They do this by creating great content that is relevant to their followers and engaging with them regularly.

Same goes for bloggers. If you want to be one of the Cool Kids on the web, then one of the first things you need to start on is to create a great-looking site on WordPress.

Theme clubs are commonly known to offer memberships to their users that can be renewed monthly or annually to maintain access to all of their products.

We’ve listed five of the best theme clubs you can choose from.

by 1 Comment

Even though WordPress already has a large selection of themes, it looks like the WP masters were not thrilled with what they currently had in their inventory.

In order to help widen the selection of themes available, Automattic is launching “The Theme Team” which they hope will attract more quality theme developers as well as more themes for WP.com and WP.org.

I’m super-excited to announce to you today that WordPress.com now has an official Theme Team. In a nutshell, we’re a bunch of people who really care about WordPress Themes and want to see them get better and better—on WordPress.com and for every WordPress.org user.

Software Freedom Law Center Says WordPress Themes are GPL

by 6 Comments

Matt Mullenweg has, in an attempt to clear the confusion with themes and the GPL license they might or might not inherit from WordPress, contacted the Software Freedom Law Center, who was instrumental in creating the GPL version 3 license. The reply, which is presented as a whole in the wordpress.org blog, basically says that while CSS and images might not be “tainted” by the GPL license, the template files surely are since they load WordPress functions and rely on them to work.

Commercial GPL Themes Gets Pimped on WordPress.org

by 7 Comments

The hub of all things WordPress, as in the kind you install on your own, is wordpress.org. There’s both a plugin and a theme directory there, and the latter has now gotten some commercial (aka premium) themes treatment. However, the new page merely lists some resellers of commercial GPL themes, so this is not the marketplace a lot of people has been waiting for.

Some of them you may pay for access, some of them are membership sites, some may give you the theme for zero-cost and just charge for support. What they all have in common is people behind them who support open source, WordPress, and its GPL license.

If you’re selling GPL themes for WordPress you can get listed, just scroll down to the bottom of the page. Personally, I think the themes should be hosted on wordpress.org so that they got automatic updates and so on, but that’s a whole other story. I do hope this is just the first step of many in this area, but we’ll see. An official blog post has yet to outline this addition, which might or might not have been up for some time, I really can’t tell.
