How Does WordPress Theme Detection Work?

Every WordPress theme includes a file called style.css stored at /wp-content/themes/[theme-name]/style.css. This file contains a header with the official theme metadata — theme name, author, version, and theme URI.

Detect WP Plugin reads this file directly from the live site, making it the most accurate method to identify WordPress themes — including premium themes from ThemeForest, Elegant Themes, and other marketplaces that aren't listed on WordPress.org.

Can It Detect Premium WordPress Themes?

Yes. Most "what theme" tools only check the WordPress.org free theme directory, which means they fail on premium themes like Divi, Avada, Astra, Flatsome, The7, and thousands of others.

Detect WP Plugin reads directly from the site's source code, so it works on any WordPress theme — free, premium, or custom-built. No marketplace limitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Detect WP Plugin free?

Yes, completely free. No credit card, no registration required to run a scan. Create a free account to save your history.

What if the site doesn't show a theme?

Some sites hide their theme directory or use custom setups. If we can't detect a theme, we'll tell you — but this is rare on standard WordPress installations.

Can I detect a child theme?

Yes. If a site uses a child theme, we detect both the child theme and the parent theme it's based on.

Does it work on Elementor, Beaver Builder, or Divi sites?

Yes. Page builders run on top of a WordPress theme — we detect the base theme. We also detect page builder plugins in our plugin scan.
