Best Free WordPress Themes Gallery
Updated: March 29, 2013
It has been awhile since I’ve created one of our popular WordPress theme galleries, so I decided it was time to build a new one. In the past I’ve always taken the approach of trying to remove any personal bias and just display the WordPress themes and demo/download information in a manageable way so that the reader can choose their favorite themes that they’d like to use.
This time I decided to comb the internet looking for my personal favorite free WordPress themes and display them below in a convenient format. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that there aren’t many free themes available these days, so I’ve decided to throw in my favorite premium WordPress themes at the bottom of this post as an alternative for those serious about blogging!
This theme gallery is broken down into the following categories (click the link to be taken to the section you are looking for):
- Free 2-Column WordPress Themes
- Free 3-Column WordPress Themes
- Free 4-Column WordPress Themes
- Free Magazine WordPress Themes
- Free Video & Photo WordPress Themes
- Best Premium WordPress Themes
This post is updated regularly, so if you find you are often in the market for a free WordPress theme, bookmark this post and check back regularly!

125×125 Button-Ready WordPress Themes Gallery
Updated: March 29, 2013
About a month ago, I sent a call out to the WordPress community requesting that more themes be released that by default include slots for 125×125 banners. These ad ready WordPress themes are all the rage, yet it seems that few designers took the time to optimize their themes for these banners. Common sense says that if there is very little supply but a lot of demand, the people that fill the demand will find tremendous success.
In looking at the recent trends with newly released themes over this past month, it seems that bloggers have really responded and there is now a wide variety of WordPress themes available for download. I decided there are finally enough of them now that I can throw together a gallery of WordPress themes that allow for 125×125 banners. Enjoy!

Smashing Magazine Gives More WordPress Themes Some Love
One of Smashing Magazine’s first and most well received posts was a sort of WordPress theme gallery, similar to the galleries I manage and update here at Hack WordPress. Now it looks like they’ve gone back to their roots with another post dedicated to WordPress themes.
This post is titled 100 Excellent Free WordPress themes, and it doesn’t disappoint! There are a number of really incredible themes here, including a few that I hadn’t run across yet. This weekend I plan to go through their post and update the appropriate galleries here on this site. In the meantime, I recommend you click over and check it out!
Best WordPress Themes of 2007
Now that 2008 is here, why not look back at 2007? Some blogs have been looking back over 2007, and I’ve been closely tracking some of the WordPress reviews for 2007. One post that caught my eye was published over at WP Themes Plugin, where they have picked there Top 20 WordPress Themes of 2007.
In looking over the post, it is a pretty good collection of themes, most of which (if not all) are completely free to WordPress users. If you are looking for a WordPress theme for your new blog, I recommend you check it out. If you don’t find what you are looking for there, you may also want to dig through my various WordPress Theme Galleries to find the right theme for your needs. I haven’t counted, but I believe there is well over 100 free and premium themes included in the galleries, which are broken down into categories for easy browsing and include screen shots and links to each theme.
I hope everyone has a happy 2008!
3-Column WordPress Themes Gallery
Updated: April 25, 2013
While most full time bloggers seem to use and prefer 2-column WordPress themes, there is no doubt that 3-column themes are definitely more popular among the WordPress blogger masses. This can be attributed to many things, but the most appealing thing seems to be the ability to place more sidebar stuff above the fold on your blog. This can help you better monetize your blog by allowing more room for advertisements, subscription buttons, and other important sidebar content that needs to be seen by your readers.
This post is designed to be a spot to collect screen shots and download information about my favorite 3-column WordPress themes that have been made available to the WordPress community. I decided to avoid displaying any themes that cost money, and I’ve tried to include additional information about the theme then possible, including if it is widget ready or SEO friendly, etc.:
