WordPress Themes

  • Kadence – Kadence is one of the most popular WordPress themes out there, and that’s the reason I use it on Master Blogging.
  • GeneratePress – Another WordPress theme that I like the most is GeneratePress. Previously, I was using it on this blog, but recently switched to the Kadence theme because it works amazingly well with the Kadence Blocks plugin. But I still use the GeneratePress theme on my other blogs.
