Frequently Asked Questions

How do I detect what WordPress theme a website is using?
Enter the website URL into the detector tool and click detect. The tool automatically scans the website’s HTML source code and stylesheet files to identify the theme name, author, version number, and additional metadata. Results appear within seconds showing complete theme information including template structure and installed plugins.
Can I detect WordPress themes from multiple websites at once?
Yes, the tool supports bulk detection for up to 10 website URLs simultaneously. Simply enter each URL on a separate line and process them all in one request. This batch processing feature is ideal for competitive analysis, client audits, and market research requiring analysis of multiple WordPress websites efficiently.
What information can I discover about a WordPress theme?
The detector reveals comprehensive theme details including theme name, theme author, version number, theme description, theme URI, template name for parent themes, stylesheet name for child themes, and WordPress version. Additionally, it identifies popular plugins like Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, Elementor, Contact Form 7, and many others installed on the website.
Does the WordPress theme detector work on all websites?
The detector works on all publicly accessible WordPress websites. It cannot detect themes on password-protected sites, private development environments, or websites behind authentication walls. The tool first verifies whether a site uses WordPress before attempting theme detection, clearly indicating when a website is not built with WordPress.
How accurate is WordPress theme detection?
Theme detection is highly accurate for standard WordPress installations where theme information is stored in stylesheet headers following WordPress coding standards. Accuracy may vary for heavily customized themes, white-labeled themes with removed metadata, or websites using custom-built frameworks. The tool extracts all available theme metadata from accessible stylesheet files.
Can I identify child themes and parent theme relationships?
Yes, the detector identifies both parent theme templates and child theme stylesheets. When a website uses a child theme, the tool displays both the child theme name from the stylesheet and the parent theme template it extends. This information is crucial for understanding theme customization approaches and development architecture.
What WordPress plugins can the detector identify?
The tool identifies popular WordPress plugins including Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, Elementor, Contact Form 7, Jetpack, Akismet, WP Rocket, bbPress, BuddyPress, WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, All in One SEO, Really Simple SSL, MonsterInsights, UpdraftPlus, Wordfence, Slider Revolution, Advanced Custom Fields, and WPBakery among others detected through their public signatures.
Can I export WordPress theme detection results?
Yes, detection results can be exported in CSV format for spreadsheet analysis or copied directly to your clipboard for pasting into documents and reports. CSV exports include all detected information such as URL, WordPress status, theme name, author, version, WordPress version, and plugins list, making data organization and client reporting simple.
How can I use theme detection for competitor analysis?
Detect themes and plugins used by competing websites to understand their technology choices and design strategies. Compare multiple competitor sites simultaneously to identify industry trends, popular theme frameworks, and common plugin combinations. Use this intelligence to make informed decisions about your own website development and stay competitive in your market.
Why would a WordPress theme not be detected?
Themes may not be detected if the website is not actually WordPress-based, uses custom-built themes without standard metadata headers, has modified or removed theme information for white-labeling purposes, blocks crawler access through robots.txt or security measures, or uses advanced caching that prevents stylesheet access. The tool clearly indicates detection failures with specific error messages.
