What's your favorite WordPress theme?

[Tired]

What is your go-to WordPress theme. Premium and Free. Sometimes there are benefits in using a free theme as customers can update theme without worrying about licensing, etc.

I like the idea of Elementor Hello for Free as it is fully integrated with Elementor which is the most popular page builder, but been mostly using Kadence as a go-to theme.
For paid, depending on the website type, WoodMart is solid for store and have been around for a long time, but don't know any other ones that are in the same level with professional support and constant updates and improvement. Many of the themes on forestheme push to get to the top using mass marketing and affiliate programs but not many are actually solid and flexible in the long term.

What's your favorite free and premium theme? and why?

Hi.

I would recommend Kadence, because although it has a paid plugin that adds functionality, the free version of the theme is one of the most complete free themes that exist.

Then, as a Premium theme, I almost always use Astra (Free) plus its Astra Pro addon. It is very optimized for loading and SEO and is easy to develop with it.

I agree, I think Kadence is very generous with the features that they have included in the free version. Although I have heard a lot of good things about Astra theme, for some reason every time I install it, I end up switching back to Kadence.

What specifically do you like in Astra (Free) over Kadence theme?

Does the free version have a decent header builder?

It is basic, but I don't need too much for affiliate sites.
