About the WordPress Theme Detector

The WordPress Theme Detector tells you which theme a WordPress site uses and which plugins load on the page. It finds the theme folder in the page's asset paths, then reads the header comment of that theme's public style.css: theme name, version, author, theme URI and, for a child theme, the parent theme it builds on. Plugins are listed from the folders their CSS and JavaScript load from, with readable names for the common ones.

Our server requests the URLs you enter, like a crawler: it reads the response without running the page's scripts, and the analysis runs in your browser. The theme's public style.css is read the same way. The URLs and results are not stored.

How to use the WordPress Theme Detector

  1. Enter the address of a page on the WordPress site.
  2. Press Detect theme. The active theme is shown first; a child theme is labelled with its parent.
  3. Use the theme URI or author to find the theme, or search its name on wordpress.org/themes.
  4. Check the plugin list for the SEO, caching, form and page-builder plugins the site uses.

Frequently asked questions

What is a child theme?

A small theme that changes another one (the parent) without editing it, so the parent can still be updated. Its style.css has a "Template:" line naming the parent folder. Many sites run a child of a popular theme such as Astra, GeneratePress or Kadence, so check both.

Why does it find WordPress but no theme?

Some sites combine and rename their CSS and JavaScript with a caching or optimisation plugin, or run WordPress headless behind a JavaScript front end. Then no themes folder appears in the HTML. Try another page, such as a blog post.

Can it see every plugin?

No. Only plugins that load CSS or JavaScript on the page you checked are visible. Plugins that work only in the admin area, or only on other pages, leave no trace in the HTML.
