About

Theme Plugin Blog publishes plain-language guides to WordPress themes and plugins: how they work, how to choose between them, and how to look after them once your site is live.

What you will find here

• Explainers that make the moving parts of WordPress easier to understand, such as block themes, caching layers and the block editor.
• Comparisons of popular tools, such as SEO plugins and page builders, focused on what each one includes, what it costs and who it suits.
• How-to guides for everyday jobs: installing a theme, updating plugins without breaking your site, setting up the basics.
• Best-of lists that show the numbers behind each pick, so you can judge for yourself.

How we write

We build each article from primary sources: the official WordPress documentation, the WordPress.org theme and plugin directories, vendor pricing and feature pages, and published research. Every article ends with a list of the sources used and the date the facts were checked, because prices, versions and install counts change.

We are clear about what we have and have not done. Unless an article says otherwise, our picks are based on public data and the vendors' own descriptions, not on laboratory benchmarks, and we say so in the article. We do not claim to have tested a product when we have not.

Corrections

If you find something that is wrong, out of date or unclear, please tell us through the contact page. We will check it, fix it and update the "checked on" date in the article's sources.

Independence

We link to the official pages of the products we discuss so you can verify what we say. If we ever add affiliate links or accept sponsored content, we will label them clearly in the article and explain it on this page. See also our disclaimer, privacy policy and terms and conditions.
