Guys, if I say honestly, then there are unlimited methods by which you can find the name of any WordPress Theme that running on a blog. I have divided these all methods into three categories. You can easily find what theme is running on a WordPress blog by any of the below-mentioned methods.
- By General or Common sense Method: Footer Links & Source Code Methods to Get the Name of WordPress Theme.
- By Browser’s Extension Method: You can also detect theme name just by using Chrome/Firefox extension.

Method #1 Check Footer Link
In the General (Common Sense) Method, I am going to teach you two ways to get the name of WordPress Theme. You can know the name just by checking footer link, by viewing the source code of the WordPress Blog.
Find out WP Theme Name by checking Footer Link (Footer Link Method)
- First of all, Open that WordPress site/blog of which you want to know the theme name,
- Scroll down to the footer section,
- In the footer section, you will see the Theme Name just in the below screenshot.
- Congrats you got your desired WordPress Theme Name.
View Source Code To Find Theme Name of WordPress Blog (Source Code Method)
- Just as the first method, open the WordPress blog.
- View their source code (Just click “Ctrl + U” to view source code)
- Now press “Ctrl + F” and search for the following line
wp-content/themes
- The theme name will be there after “wp-content/themes/” Just look at the screenshot shared below for extra clarification.
Method #2 Knowing Theme Name by Using Extention
There are also many extensions are available for your popular internet browsers you use daily (like Google Chrome, Firefox etc) by using which you can get the WordPress Theme name just in one click.

This is the best method of detecting or knowing WordPress Theme Name because it doesn’t only give your active WordPress Theme name but also it provides the list of all active WordPress Plugins which is running on that WordPress Blog.
It it will give you the complete list of the Plugins.
