Heather scratches her head.

She’s got epic content, great images, and even more importantly, the passion to grow her blog.

But still … her blog is hardly getting noticed.

It lacks a message and fails to capture her readers’ attention.

Sounds familiar?

Do you also find it hard to win your readers, keep them engaged with your content and convert them into leads and sales?

I’ve been there too …

Like Heather, the problem with many of us is, our blog doesn’t align with our branding and this confuses our readers.

Clutter, lack of white space, and more importantly, choosing a design that doesn’t fit with our website’s purpose is what repel the readers away.

That’s when you need nothing but the best WordPress blog theme to make your blog appealing and optimized for conversions.

In this article, I’ll list the top 51 best WordPress blog themes for bloggers in 2023 like you cherry-picked (out of 1000s of them) to make your blog stand out.

1. GeneratePress

How do you like my blog’s design?

If that’s a yes, GeneratePress is your theme!

Very lightweight with less than 10 kb file size is what makes it achieve 1000+ 5-star ratings and 300,000+ active installs. GeneratePress comes with built-in schema.org structured data markup and validated HTML coding.

Having said that, like the other top 4 picks of this league, GeneratePress comes with tons plenty of starter templates to choose from.

Elements- another top USP of GeneraPress helps you add customizations based on select pages, users, and locations on your blog.

For example, you could do all of the following differently on different pages based on your need:

• Header Elements – Add customized header layouts
• Hooks elements – add special codes (Facebook tracking codes, analytics), ads, image banners
• Layouts elements – Enable/disable special layouts (like page title, sidebar, footer, etc)
• Block Elements – with which you could use the WordPress block editor to create hooks, site headers, site footers, and sidebars (Just check my blog’s footer. It’s designed using Gutenberg blocks and placed using GeneratePress’ elements feature.)

Theme Features:

1. Very well-coded and fast-loading WordPress blog theme
2. Enable/disable features that you don’t need
3. Ditch page builders with the free GenerateBlocks plugin
4. A super-fast customer service that, apart from fixing things, goes beyond their scope of service (never heard them use this term) to give you custom codes & help required to create completely different designs (check my page title and meta info design for this page). It’s like hiring a designer for free! (And I am not exaggerating!)
