'T' is for Themes - WP Builds Weekly WordPress Podcast #247 WP Builds Deals Page - Find Deals on WordPress Plugins

WordPress themes are crucial, you have to have one, but will they continue to be so in an era of Full Site Editing?

We talk on the podcast today about the WordPress themes that we’ve used over the years. Starting out by being beguiled by themes which could do all-the-things, then moving towards theme frameworks and minimal themes which allowed some basic styling, but then got out of the way of our Page Builder so that we could create headers and footers that way.

Which themes do we like and what do we think the future holds with themes appearing to be of less importance in WordPress’ future.

Are you exploring new themes? Are you a theme developer worried about the direction of travel?
