  1. Points To Remember While Trying Free WordPress Themes As They Aren't Always Entirely Free There are a lot of Free WordPress themes available in the market. But you need to keep an eye whether they are entirely free or they have some conditions which might make you spend more instead of a regular Premium WordPress theme. Things to look out or check out for in a Free WordPress theme while trying them out: Does it work as shown in the demo?: Many free WordPress themes show their Premium WordPress themes screenshots and when you install them turn out to be a plain blog. Hence it is important that you check whether it looks as advertised in the demo. Also most free WordPress themes are very difficult to set up. Some are child themes and require their parent themes to be installed. Some have use of pages and static front page and it is quite difficult to set the static front page to show it just like the demo. Some use dummy content and are very easy to set up and by just installing shows as was intended and shown in the demo. So check for the easy set up and demo look alike themes.Otherwise it will be a futile time waste to keep on trying to set up the homepage. Also one should check whether it is easy to set up the homepage. Difficult homepage will also keep you confused and while you set up once again changing anything on the theme will be cumbersome and time taking. Integration with various plugins: Many free WordPress themes are poorly coded and styled sothat they are not working with popular WordPress plugins like contact forms, gallery plugins like Nextgen gallery or Ecommerce plugins like WooCommerce. Hence its important that one should consider free WordPress themes only if they are compatible with popular plugins otherwise the whole exercise becomes more cumbersome and waste of time. Junk Code or insecure coding: Many free WordPress themes are copied in haphazard manner from various WordPress themes and thus leading to too many scripts. These scripts might even get into conflicts with normal plugins and also can be a cause of worry. Because such ill handled scripts which have no use in your theme or scripts which are outdated can be easily hacked or can be used to push malware into your website thus causing you more money and efforts to get what is lost. Hence it is always essential to check the theme using sucuri site scanner or exploit scanner plugin. Mobile Responsive: Nowadays with Google pushing for mobilegeddon it has become utmost important that your website is mobile and tablet responsive otherwise it will cause you rankings on Google and other search engines. Hence it is important while you download a free WordPress theme to test your website on various devices and check if the theme is worth the time. Check the website after applying the free WordPress theme in Google mobile friendly test url as well as in responsinator whereby it confirms the responsiveness of the theme. Entirely free or money after several months or 1 year: There are several theme developers who dupe a client of money by saying that the free WordPress theme will work for so and so days or will be paid after 1 year or support for this theme is paid or some other techniques of taking out money from the user. One should always check for GPL licensed free WordPress themes which are safer to use and should download WordPress themes from reliable sources like WordPress.org itself which ensure quality check and theme checks have been done.

  2. Any basic functionality not working and available in Paid version: Basic functionality like favicon, logo upload, showing header image, or even simple showing it exactly like the demo if not working then you shouldn't be wasting much more time with this free WordPress theme and choose to try another one. Free WordPress themes are although a great way to start and stay free of any spending for a startup or low budget business but the above points should be taken care of and checked. If you can't check the above points and aren't sure if your free WordPress theme passes all the above then you should definitely consider a Pro version or premium version of a theme which has got great reviews and community presence.
