Be Careful When Using WordPress Themes From The WordPress Theme Viewer!

ImageA while ago I wrote about the Wordpress theme viewer and how beneficial it could be for you if you were looking to find Wordpress themes for your blog. I really think that the theme viewer is a great piece of software and a handy tool that allows theme designers to market their free templates to a lot of people. So what is the problem?

The problem is that many template owners have not been able to make necessary updates to their templates for some time. This may seem like a trivial issue. It isn’t. Many owners have recognized errors and issues with their templates since initially uploading them. They now don’t have the ability to make the updates they need to make. That is a real big deal because people are using these templates on their blogs to try and do things like make money!

On December 11th, the Wordpress team told everyone that they were working on fixing the system for uploads so that theme designers can change and update their themes. Unfortunately, the system isn’t fixed yet. What does this mean to you? It means that you should be careful when you use templates from the current Theme Viewer. I’m not saying that the theme you download will cause problems, but, who wants to be the guinea pig for solving theme related problems when you have people coming to your blog everyday?

Many professional bloggers will tell you that you should not use a free theme anyway. I’m not 100% in agreement with them. I think it is entirely possible to make money as long as your theme is attractive and monetized AND full of great content. You, however, must make the decision for yourself. Consider yourself warned. Be careful when you use Wordpress Theme Viewer themes until their system is fixed.
