WordPress Theme Detector
Find out which theme and plugins any WordPress site is running.
Free · No signup · No limits worth mentioning
How the detector works
WordPress serves a theme's files from /wp-content/themes/<folder>/ and each plugin's
from /wp-content/plugins/<folder>/. Those paths appear in the page's HTML, in the
stylesheet and script tags the browser has to load. Reading them tells you the folder names, and the
theme's own style.css header then gives its real name, author and version.
That is all this does — it reads what the site publishes to every visitor. Nothing is bypassed, and no private data is touched.
Why detection sometimes fails
- Aggressive caching or asset rewriting can merge and rename files, removing the folder names.
- A full CDN may serve assets from its own domain and path structure.
- Headless WordPress uses WordPress only as an editor; the front end is a separate application with no theme at all.
- Security plugins can deliberately hide these paths.
Where we cannot confirm something, the tool says so rather than filling the gap with a guess.
Common questions
How does the theme detector work?
It reads the page exactly as your browser would and looks at where the site loads its assets from. WordPress serves themes from /wp-content/themes/<name>/, so that path names the theme. The theme's own style.css header then gives its real name, author and version.
Why can it not detect some sites?
Sites behind aggressive caching, asset-rewriting plugins or a full CDN can rename or inline those paths. Headless WordPress serves no theme at all on the front end. When we cannot confirm something, we say so rather than guessing.
Can it detect premium themes?
Yes — the detection is the same for free and paid themes, because both live in the same folder. Where the theme is in our directory we link to its page; where it is not, you still get the name and version.
Is it legal to check what theme a site uses?
Yes. It reads only what the site publicly publishes to every visitor. Nothing is bypassed and nothing private is accessed.
