The 10 Best FREE WordPress Block Themes of 2023!

Awesome collection of block themes Jamie. Not sure about the disco theme making the list, but I appreciate why you chose to give it some attention 😁

Is Astra a block theme?

I love the way WordPress is taking, with blocks you really can build everything! I use the combo GeneratePress + GenerateBlocks but these themes are so interesting!

I think I liked the greenshift theme most, but you didnt show very much of it. So I will have to try it.

TY for the update, Jamie.

Hello, Jamie! You promised to make a review about Greenshift. Please make sample website with GS theme, show how to deal with Block themes on a GS sample

Is it possible to access blocks from two different themes, please? I'm guessing that there will soon be a market for bundles of different blocks, without the theme part. eg: Could I buy just the blocks seen on the ollie theme?

(I have the Spectra One theme loaded and elementor pro product.)

What is the most exceptions block theme for large news/magazine ventures?

Hi Jamie, quick idea. Compare 3 classic theme sites to a block theme with exactly the same content loaded and as close as possible layouts and features and then speed test them in web page dev. Just done my own tests and this week move 3 sites across to a block themes simply because speed is everything! Matt

Excellent! Very informative and helpful. Thank you very much!

I have a question: I recently picked a Block Theme (gutenify medical) to use as a template. I would like to change the meta description of the homepage, but I can't because it is probably "hard-coded" into the template. Is there a solution to be able to modify this?

I use stackable builder with Astra its a great combo for me

As always another great video! I have a couple of thoughts about Spectra. It looks great but it appears that they want to replace most of the standard Gutenberg blocks with their own versions. They also modify the core code to add additional functionality which will lock users into their platform. What do you think?

Thank you - nice round up.

Excellent info! Thank you so much Jamie.

Nice, you showed that hard line gradient trick before! Thanks for keeping folks up to date with the scene.

Great video as always! I'm trying to find a video you made which had a cool restraunt/cafe theme, but I can't seem to recall the name of the video!! Anyone able to help? It had a funky look and a easy to manage menu too?

Are these 2023's Best FREE Block themes???

Yay, trying spectra one out. Ollie and green shift got my attention too

I am developer and I rather like coding to page builders but I am starting to like the Gutenberg and block themes more and more for fast simple sites. Wordpress is really keeping up with changes on web.

Wow, thanks for featuring Stacks, that was fast!

How did I know that the Spectra One theme would be #1.? Fantastic class by the way! If any of you want to learn more about the block themes, it's well worth it. In fact, I kind of feel guilty that it was such a little price for it. (Well not all that guilty, consider me as feeling like I got a bargain.)

Great work, Jamie! Your research is commendable and I really appreciate your efforts. I'm definitely going to benefit from this valuable information. Thank you so much!

Agreed! There really should be a growth in opinionated themes. That’s what will keep theme creation an important part of WordPress. Also agree with many of your choices. Frost is a favorite of mine. Upside Down is simple and brilliant. Ollie is a new one I want to explore for the patterns alone. Nice video.

Thanks for featuring our UniBlock theme, Jamie!

olliewp theme looks very nice. Thanks for sharing Jamie.
