When choosing a wordpress theme you will stumble upon many free themes. Free themes can be good but many of them are sub par simply because they aren’t updated on a regular basis.
So when wordpress upgrades their software the free wordpress theme company that made your theme is unlikely to spend any more money on their free theme to make it compatible with the latest version of wordpress.
Your free wordpress theme will likely still work but many features will not be available with an outdated theme.
I have run into similar trouble with paid WordPress themes I have bought out on template monster. I bought a really cool looking theme for my wifes homeschool website only to find out it was not compatible with many of the features of WordPress softwares latest release including widgets. That was $50 down the drain.
After several years of working and tweaking old outdated wordpress themes to get them how I like and compatible with the latest release of WordPress I finally stumbled upon Thesis Theme 1.8.
As of the writing of this post Thesis 1.8 is the latest release of their theme. This theme happens to be one of the most popular paid wordpress themes among web designers, entrepreneurs and affiliate sales companies.
Thesis is constantly being improved and has great support. The Thesis theme has many SEO benefits and allows a novice web designer to customize the theme very easily.
There is a wordpress plugin called “Thesis Open Hook” that makes customizing the theme using their “hook” structure easy enough for a monkey to do.
Thesis will soon be releasing Thesis Theme 2.0 and when this comes out you will be able to upgrade to the latest release for free if you have purchased Thesis 1.8 or newer.
The upgrade procedure is extremely simple as well and Thesis Theme 2.0 support offers a video to walk you through the quick and painless process.
Most of their tutorial videos only last a couple minutes because the upgrades and changes are quick and simple even for someone who isn’t a programmer like me.
