It continues to be actively developed and currently also supports all post formats. To begin with, Twenty Eleven was HTML5 compliant, had a darker color scheme in addition to the default one, included a widget of its own, and handled custom page layouts even better.Īpart from being translation ready, Twenty Eleven happens to be responsive as well. However, it also offered many performance improvements as well as stylistic features. Twenty ElevenĬarrying on with the trends set by Twenty Ten, Twenty Eleven too insisted on the prominent header images layout as well as a clean design with a focus on content. It continues to be in active development and still being updated by the developers. It was translation ready, though not responsive. This was the phase when WordPress had many new features added to the core: header images, drag and drop widgets, change background colors, and so on. The theme featured a header image that was prominently displayed, as well as clean and minimal design and focus on content. This new theme would later serve as the model for not just WordPress themes but virtually any type of blog templates. With the release of WordPress 3.0 came another new default WordPress theme: Twenty Ten. WP Default (or Kubric) has not been updated since 2010, but surprisingly it’s still being used by over 20,000 sites even today. This theme too was translation ready, though obviously not responsive as smartphones were yet to be released. This was the era when WordPress introduced many new customization tweaks, and the theme incorporated them well, including a large header, sans serif typography, clearly laid-out sidebar, and more. WP Default theme, once again, focused more on simplicity. More commonly known as “Kubric” after the name of the theme that it was initially based on, the WordPress Default theme first came with the release of WordPress 1.5 and it continued to reign supreme until WordPress 2.9. However, the theme is now long forgotten even by Automattic, the developers of WordPress as Classic hasn’t been updated since 2010.
This was a theme that would go well with your blog, no matter what your target audience or niche topic was! The theme was translation ready and offered support for right to left (RTL) languages.
Of course, mobile browsing wasn’t so important back then so Classic wasn’t responsive in design but it got the job done by offering a simple and effective layout design.Ĭlassic was the epitome of simplicity and ease of use. WordPress Classic, or simply Classic, was the first ever default WordPress theme to be released, as opposed to the common misconception that Kubric was the first default theme.Ĭlassic was the default theme for WordPress versions 1.2 and earlier.
Let’s take a trip down the theme design memory lane. Amidst all of this, the default WordPress themes kept changing with a new theme being offered following almost every major release of WordPress. It keeps getting more powerful and useful with new features and tools as well as the retirement of many default features. WordPress is a continuously evolving CMS.
In this post, we take a closer look at all the default themes released on WordPress. Its collection of default WordPress themes is a big part of that history. As the world’s most popular content management system that powers more than 30% of the websites on the internet, WordPress has a rich and fascinating history.
