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 — the exact name of the theme
- Author — the theme developer or company
- Version — the current version installed
- Theme URI — a link to the theme's homepage or purchase page
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, StudioPress, 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, Minimog, 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.
