What's your favorite WP theme?

[Toby]

Hi! I'm writing an article for WPTavern.com about WP theme popularity.  What's your favorite WP theme and why?  (NOTE: By responding to this thread, you are giving me permission to use your quote in the article - no backsies!)

Thanks,

Toby

My favorite theme is Beaver Builder, primarily because it's fast to load on the front and back end.  It also has all the tools and modules I need for 90% of cases.

+1 for Beaver Builder (specifically using the Beaver Themer plugin) because it is almost just as powerful as creating my own theme (what I used to do before Beaver Themer was released), but with the fast, easy and powerful features of Beaver Builder. I'm never going back!

I also use Beaver Builder/Themer, but not the theme. I’ve always used Genesis and still do. I use Mai Theme as my base, much to the horror of the dev who never intended it to be used with a builder J Sometimes I try to use the block editor on a basic page, but it still feels clumsy and unintuitive to me. I love Mai Theme because of the scalable fonts and spacing and the navigation is very well done.

My favorite theme is either "Hello Elementor" (the barebones vanilla theme when building a site with Elementor), or just using Bricks.

+1 for Impreza! (Aaron, didn't know this is your fav too!)  Have built 20-30 sites with it.

• $59 one time purchase.
• Comes with WP Bakery Page Builder, which is my go to. Love the backend editor.  Extremely intuitive.
  
• Theme Options are very integrated with WP Bakery and include drag-n-drop Header/Footer builder, Reusable Blocks, Grid Builder, and Template Builder.
• When used with ACF, I never have to touch code because WP Bakery has a Custom Field element that pulls in any ACF field I want.
  
• Comes bundled with Slider Revolution, ACF Pro, to name a few.
  
• Theme Support is incredible!

My 2.7 cents!

Best!

My favorite theme is Enfold. They have a really nice drag and drop system and the theme is super versatile. Good customer support and good performance improvements as browser changes are implemented.

I’ve been a Divi user since almost the beginning.  It also has a drag and drop system, along with a visual builder that allows edits from the front end as well as the dashboard.

I have been using Astra theme a lot. Got a lifetime license for Astra Premium & Astra Pro which has been so worth it for fast customization.

We have been using Astra a lot for the past three years or so. It has great benefits and a few unfortunate flaws, but on the whole it is a win for us. Astra is a more traditional theme than Genesis, easier to build child themes with, but it has a huge depth of hooks, making it just as flexible and customizable for our clients as we found with Genesis years ago.  …Eric
