🔍 WordPress Theme Detector

WordPress theme detection works by analyzing the website's HTML source code, CSS files, and directory structure. The detector looks for theme-specific files, style.css headers, template paths, and unique identifiers that reveal the theme name, version, and author. It also checks for WordPress-specific patterns and files in the wp-content/themes directory.

Most WordPress themes and plugins can be detected, but detection accuracy depends on how the website is configured. Custom themes, heavily modified themes, or sites with security plugins that hide WordPress signatures may be harder to detect. Active plugins that don't leave visible traces in the frontend code might not be detected, but many common plugins can still be identified.

You can discover the theme name, version number, author information, theme framework (if any), whether it's a child theme, theme description, and sometimes the theme URI or download link. For plugins, you can typically find the plugin name, version, and status. The tool also detects the WordPress version and other technologies used on the site.

Yes, it's completely legal to detect themes and plugins as this information is publicly available in the website's source code. This is similar to viewing a website's HTML source code in your browser. The detection process only analyzes publicly accessible information and doesn't involve hacking or unauthorized access to any systems.

The detector is highly accurate for standard WordPress installations and popular themes. Accuracy may be lower for heavily customized themes, custom-built themes, or sites using security plugins that hide WordPress signatures. The tool continuously updates its detection algorithms to improve accuracy and cover new themes and plugins.

No, this tool is specifically designed for WordPress websites. If you try to analyze a non-WordPress site, the tool will inform you that WordPress was not detected. For other content management systems, you would need specialized detectors for platforms like Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, or Drupal.

If your WordPress site isn't detected, it might be due to security plugins hiding WordPress signatures, custom theme configurations, or aggressive caching. You can try disabling security plugins temporarily, checking if the site is actually running WordPress, or ensuring the URL is correct and accessible. Some heavily customized sites may not show typical WordPress patterns.

Use theme detection to analyze competitor websites and understand their technology choices, discover new themes and plugins for your own projects, research industry trends in WordPress usage, identify successful theme and plugin combinations, and find inspiration for your own website design and functionality decisions.

The detector can only identify plugins that leave traces in the frontend code, such as scripts, stylesheets, or HTML elements. Backend-only plugins, admin-only plugins, or plugins that don't output any frontend code may not be detectable. However, many popular plugins like contact forms, SEO plugins, and page builders can usually be identified.
