5 online tools/methods to know which theme plug-in is used by WordPress website

Now we are learning website construction, or building a personal website is not the kind that needs technical level. Because there are so many free and open source CMS programs today, you can find dozens of similar programs on any free source website. However, Lao Zuo personally suggested that when we choose the website building program, especially when we are preparing for long-term use or have a low technical level, we should use the current mainstream program with more users and documents.

 5 online tools/methods to know which theme plug-in is used by WordPress website

For example, at present, WordPress is the most widely used personal website. Even though many users have often upgraded because of the slow speed, bloated, and nothing, compatibility problems may also arise. Even though there are various shortcomings, it is still one of the current good mainstream CMS programs from the perspective of actual usage and convenience.

After we use the open source program, it is not so important for development. We just need to download the official version directly, and then find some free themes and plug-ins to go online. Especially after we use the WordPress program, we are impressed by the number of free themes and plug-ins. Even if there are many paid topics, there is still a way to release the sharing spirit of our people directly for free.

What should we do when we see that some blogs and websites use good themes, but cannot find the original source and want to use them themselves? Here, Lao Zuo introduces five methods and tools. We can see what theme the other website uses, so that we can also find and use it. Of course, if the website owner has done some processing, it can't be sure to find it, but at least most of them can find and know which theme is used.

First, online tool search method

Here Lao Zuo (laozuo. org) finds four online tools that can be queried from the Internet to help us analyze which theme and plug-in we use.

1、whatwpthemeisthat

Website: whatwpthemeisthat.com

 whatwpthemeisthat

Here we directly enter the domain name site to be checked in the official website.

 whatwpthemeisthat

This software checks whether there are corresponding free themes and plug-ins from the WordPress resource library, so it is impossible to view some themes and plug-ins that are not uploaded to the official application platform.

2、WPThemeDetector

Website: www.wpthemedetector.com

 WPThemeDetector

It seems the same as above, but let's see if we can detect different effects.

 WPThemeDetector

This tool can detect which themes and plug-ins are used in the current WP program.

3、whattheme

Website: whattheme.com

 whattheme

The difference of this theme detection tool is that it can detect WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, Shopify, Ghost, Blogger and other CMS programs.

 whattheme

Here we can see what WP program is used by the website under test, and which theme is used accordingly.

4、builtwith

Website: builtwith.com

 builtwith

Similarly, this software is not limited to the use of WordPress programs, and popular CMS program websites can.

 builtwith

This tool can detect more information. You can see what kind of resolution the website uses, the host company, whether to use SSL, and so on. It seems that you don't see which theme is used.

Second, manual viewing method

It's a good thing to have tools, but if we need to check what kind of programs a website uses, we can actually check them manually. Here Lao Zuo shares some of the manual methods he sometimes uses.

1. Visual observation method

We often see many theme stations and personal websites on the Internet. If we are interested in collecting themes, we can collect them locally or record them, so that we can view them in our own resource library or record documents when we need to use them next time. Many times, we will find problems that we often see when not in use and cannot find when we need to use them.

In this way, the next time we see a website or theme, we can quickly think that we have met, published, downloaded or collected it.

2. Manual view mode

We can check whether the bottom of the website is marked with the theme of which version to use, and check the source code to see whether there are some annotations.

 Manual view mode

Here we can easily see that the website uses the WP program and the DUX theme. By analogy, the general path of conventional CMS is fixed. We can see what programs are used. Then we can basically see the theme if the directory has not been modified. If the name has been modified, it is not easy to see by pressing.

In conclusion, it is easy for most regular users to choose a simple theme and CMS that is suitable for them. Today, there are still many free resources, and even some paid themes can be downloaded for free. General websites, especially personal websites, do not need to use particularly complex business themes and too gorgeous functions. Simplicity is beauty.
