26 responsive free WordPress templates

There are a lot of paid and free WordPress templates now. If you are a novice blogger or you need an uncomplicated website for your company, then there is no need to spend time and money on developing a unique design. Take a ready-made site template, especially to choose from what. In this compilation, I collected 26 free adaptive templates (why I will explain adaptive ones just below) for sites on various subjects - from cooking to photo portfolios.

WordPress Themes: Where to Download and Make No Mistakes

https://www.templatemonster.com currently has over 2,000 free WordPress themes. This is the official resource where you can download free WordPress themes, and I recommend using them, and not all sorts of forums, blogs, file sharing and so on. I will explain why. All WordPress templates that developers upload to this site are tested by moderators for security, correct display, cross-browser and a number of other criteria.

Therefore, if you see a high-quality topic on some resource, but it is not on the official WordPress sites, it is likely that the author did not pass the test, and he had to publish his creation elsewhere. In addition, free WordPress templates on unofficial sources can embed malicious code or external links that do not cause such harm as viruses, but can interfere with the promotion of the site. Of course, I do not declare that all topics from third-party resources have problems, but it is better to trust official sources.

How to choose a theme for WordPress

Surely, starting the search for your “ideal” topic, you have certain selection criteria. These can be: Russian localization of the topic, possibility of translation, adaptability of the topic to different devices, etc.

Where to find Russian WordPress templates

The question of the presence of the Russian language in the template is solved very simply. First, you can choose one of the standard WordPress themes (they are called Twenty Fourteen, Twenty Fifteen, Twenty Sixteen, and so on). All of them have Russian localization. Secondly, there are plugins that translate themes into Russian. For example, the Loco Translate plugin does an excellent job with this. How to work with him, we wrote in detail in the article: How to translate the WordPress theme into Russian.

And thirdly, in the official theme directory on https://www.templatemonster.com  there is a translation-ready filter, and it means that the developer has fully prepared the topic for translation. With the PoEdit tool you can translate such a topic into Russian without going into the source code.

Paid Russian-language templates are available for different Russian developers, for example, on the Template Monster website.

Why Choose Responsive WordPress Themes

This selection will consist of adaptive templates, as it is now stupid to use non-adaptive, if you do not want to lose some visitors. People are increasingly reading from mobile devices, and with the help of an adaptive theme you will make reading your blog more comfortable (see also: where to find wordpress themes).  Anyway, for any site it’s not possible to adjust to different screen resolutions. Now about 40% of the traffic in the world comes from mobile devices. Internet analysts predict that this figure will only grow. Therefore, choosing a responsive template for WordPress, you can not go wrong.

Today's selection of themes for WordPress is one of the best in my opinion from the section Responsive Layout (that is, adaptive templates).
