FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WordPress theme detection and how this tool works.
How does the WordPress theme detector work?
The tool fetches the HTML source of the target website and scans for references to wp-content/themes paths. It then reads the theme style.css file to extract the theme name, version, author, and other metadata.
Can it detect child themes?
Yes. When a child theme is active, the HTML source typically references both the child theme and parent theme asset paths. The tool identifies the most frequently referenced theme slug as the active theme.
What if the theme name shows as Unknown?
Some sites restrict access to their theme style.css file for security reasons. In that case, the tool detects the theme folder name from asset paths but cannot read the full metadata.
Does it work on non-WordPress sites?
No. The tool specifically checks for WordPress signatures such as wp-content paths, the WordPress generator meta tag, and wp-json references. If these are not present, it will report that the site is not a WordPress installation.
How accurate is the plugin detection?
Plugin detection relies on plugin asset paths referenced in the page source. Plugins that load assets on the homepage will be detected. Plugins with no frontend assets, or those loaded only on specific pages, may not appear in the results.
