We have carefully selected WordPress themes with Dark Mode implemented for blogs. For bloggers who failed to add dark mode, we have chosen highly functional WordPress themes that are already added Dark Mode.
All the themes featured here are designed for content marketing purposes, such as blogs and web media. They are recommended for those who may not be familiar with coding but still want customizable options.

Dark Mode is Not an Easy Feature
There is a simple method to implement dark mode in WordPress using the WP Dark Mode plugin. However, upon reviewing feedback, it has been noted that this plugin may not function seamlessly depending on the theme or operating system.
I use the Semplice site builder with WordPress and WP Dark Mode works fine with it. But there is one big flaw, that makes the plugin unusable for me: If I change the display mode (light<–>dark) in macOS Ventura, my website doesn’t switch to dark mode. It worked once at the beginning, but now the functionality is broken.I bought the Ultimate version for 69 USD, but didn’t get a response of the support team for nearly 48 hours. by TSPE
Works overall well but beware this plugin modifies the custom CSS! When you uninstall it, these changes remain! It can break your whole design ! Very very intrusive plugin!!! by escienca
Issues such as non-functionality on macOS and the plugin autonomously rewriting theme CSS code have been reported. Additionally, the requirement to manually add CSS code for each widget can be challenging for those not familiar with coding.
To address these concerns, we have curated highly functional WordPress themes from ThemeForest that already include dark mode. All of these themes are excellent choices for customization, and they generally allow for a code-free experience.
Best Dark Mode WordPress Themes
I will show many WordPress themes, but among them, I will show you first four particularly recommended ones.
All themes featured here come with a 6-month after-sales support.
Verta
 |
| Most recommended |
Pros:
- Clean and modern design
- Smart dark mode toggle
- Huge web fonts available
- Faster website speed
Cons:
- No profile card
Smart dark mode toggle is the function of detecting automatically the preferred browser color scheme on the first page load. The color scheme will be saved and won't be changed until you manually toggle it.
Caards
 |
| Especially recommended |
Pros:
- Seamless UI design
- Smart dark mode toggle
- Advanced mega menu
- Animated Instagram feed
Cons:
- No profile card
As the title suggests, this theme is attractive for featuring UI designs inspired by rounded-corner cards across all six templates. The use of mouse hover animations adds to its appeal. The embedded designs for Twitter and Instagram are also very well-designed.
Katen.
 |
| Especially recommended |
Pros:
- Clean and pop design
- Sticky dark mode toggle
- Gradient reading bar
- Embed Instagram feed
Cons:
- Flickering on reload
- No mega menu
All seven templates feature a vibrant and clean design, creating a very friendly interface. The only downside is the white flash when loading pages. Other than that, it's perfect.
Networker
Pros:
- Cool and modern design
- Smart dark mode toggle
- Embed Twitter timeline
Cons:
- Closed comment section
- Hidden profile card
This theme comes with six templates, all of which boast cool designs. While it is highly functional, I find it somewhat lacking as the comment section is closed by default, and the profile card is placed within the mega menu.
Schematic
Pros:
- Cool and minimalist design
- Smart dark mode toggle
- Huge web fonts available
Cons:
- Footer isn't organized
- No profile card
This theme features a unique layout with a single-column and list-style post list design. It comes with eight templates, but I felt that the footer design in some of them is not well-organized.
Zeen
Pros:
- Faster website speed
- Infinite scrolling
- Well-organized layouts
Cons:
- No profile card
This theme includes more than 30 templates, but only 9 of them support dark mode. The standout feature of this theme is its infinite scroll functionality, making it an ideal choice for bloggers who want users to read as many articles as possible.
Bravi
Pros:
- Dynamic 1 column layout
- Sticky dark mode toggle
Cons:
- No mega menu
This theme includes 12 templates, with Slides Fixed and Boxed standing out for their simple yet dynamic single-column layout, which is particularly appealing. It's a bit disappointing that the author box is too simple.
Silicon
Pros:
- Clean and corporate design
- Comes with 30 pages in total
- Fast website speed
- Figma files included
Cons:
- No side bars
- Post date is missing in article
This theme comes with 10 landings and 20 inner pages. All these pages come with a total of 115+ sections in Elementor. This is recommended for corporate blogs.
Tripp
Pros:
- Clean and cozy design
- Simple dark mode icon
- Stylish scroll bar
- Promo widgets included
Cons:
- Contents overlapping issue
This theme includes four templates and is perfect for travel blogs. With rich snippets for reviews and promotions, it's highly recommended for bloggers participating in affiliate programs.
