Why we don't recommend ThemeForest themes: cheap foreign paid themes, though.

"If you're looking to buy an international WordPress theme, then ThemeForest is your best bet!"

I've seen such claims, so I've been using ThemeForest for the past 10 years, and I'll talk about why I don't recommend WordPress themes bought from ThemeForest for your site or blog management.

What is ThemeForest?

ThemeForest is a large site with many themes and templates for WordPress and other sites.

More than 11,000 themes are available, many in a price range that can easily be purchased by individuals and small businesses.

In Japan, paid WordPress themes can cost as much as 17,000 yen, but with Themeforest, you can get a theme of even higher quality for less than 10,000 yen.

You can purchase a wide range of themes for WordPress as well as other systems such as Joomla and Drupal, music materials, PHP files, and more.

Is ThemeForest safe?

Safety.Even though it is cheap, it is not an illegal site.

ThemeForest is used by a very large number of users worldwide, with over 11,000 WordPress themes for sale and hundreds of thousands of products overall.

Some of the most popular WordPress themes have sold over 980,000 units.

The prices of the themes are very low, ranging from $2 to $60. This is why many users from all over the world use this site.

Can ThemeForest be used by Japanese?

Yes,Japanese can also purchase the product without any problem.

The entire site is in English. However, you can search for your ideal WordPress theme without that much stress by browsing while using your browser's page translator.

Payment methods include credit cards as well as,PayPal is also available.This makes it safe for those who are afraid of using credit cards on overseas sites.

I have been using it myself since 2014 and have never had a single safety issue.

Why is ThemeForest not recommended?

Now that we have told you what kind of site ThemeForest is.

First of all, let me tell you so you don't get the wrong idea, ThemeForest also sells excellent WordPress themes and plugins. I have purchased and still use many great themes.

However, you will make a big mistake if you do not keep the following in mind.

Because they stopped developing and updating it, and it's been hellish.

The first reason I do not recommend purchasing WordPress themes from ThemeForest, and that is because there are a number of sellers who submit developments and updates along the way.

Imagine.

You paid 7,900 yen to purchase a WordPress theme.

The quality of the themes is unparalleled! And the quality is better!"

You will be so pleased.

And for one year you will build and run your site on that WordPress theme.But one day, development and updating of that theme suddenly stops.

It can be used for a while. However, as the months go by, bugs and problems gradually appear. Finally, the site will not display and malware will invade.

As a result, the entire site will be modified and another WordPress theme will be purchased.

ThemeForest has many WordPress themes that look great and have attractive features. However, there is a danger that the themes may suddenly stop being developed and updated.

This should come as a surprise to those who have used well-known Japanese WordPress themes. However, it is often the case with ThemeForest.

Solution: Try to purchase popular WordPress themes in ThemeForest as much as possible. If you buy a WordPress theme that is not well-known because it is cheap, you will get burned very badly.

No money back guarantee.

andThere is no money-back guarantee.

If you are not satisfied with the WordPress theme you purchased, or if you encounter any problems, there are no refunds.

No, I wouldn't use it to get a refund."

You would think so before purchasing.

But there are WordPress theme sellers who do not update their themes at all and leave out critical bugs.

There are plenty of incredibly irresponsible people in the world.

A WordPress theme created by such a person will tear your site to shreds.

If you don't want to ruin the site or blog you have carefully created and nurtured,You should choose your WordPress theme carefully.

At the very least, do not purchase a WordPress theme that is not ranked as a popular classic on ThemeForest, even if it is attractive or cheap.

The lie that "paid WordPress themes are recommended."

A WordPress theme can be anything as long as it's easy to read.It doesn't matter if it is free or paid, domestic or foreign.

There is no need to stick with ThemeForest.

As a former full-time affiliate who has now established a marketing agency to provide content marketing support domestically and internationally, I can assure you.

Anything.

Simply purchasing a paid WordPress theme will not earn you millions of yen a month, nor will it bombard you with traffic.

I am running a site with a free theme and it is making sales normally. You can make money even with a free theme. On the other hand, there are sites with paid themes that have zero access.

I understand the desire to get a WordPress theme that won't be covered by other competitors on ThemeForest. I understand. I did too.

But from the point of view of the users who read your blog or site, it doesn't matter.Readability, that's all.

Recommended International WordPress Themes

In this article, I told you not to buy cheap and not well-known WordPress themes from ThemeForest.

There is no danger of making a huge mistake by buying a theme that has always resided in the popularity rankings. On the contrary, buying any other WordPress theme may be a big mistake.

Here are two WordPress themes that I have used and recommend. I think you are tired of domestic products, so I only recommend two international WordPress themes.

Astra

Astrais an international WordPress theme used by more than 1.65 million websites. It is also used by some marketers in Japan.

The reason for choosing us is simple

• ultra high speed
• Excellent customizability

With Astra, you can create a wide variety of site designs. You don't need to buy other WordPress themes.

From an e-commerce site for supplements to a law firm to a local restaurant to a blogger attracting millions of views, this is the one solution for any application.

You can play with the design and minimize the risk of being seen with others. This is one of the foreign themes I recommend.

GeneratePress

Created by Tom Usborne, who has been creating websites since he was 11 years old.GeneratePressI'm not sure.

He spends all of his time, except for his family time, developing and supporting GeneratePress. It's a WordPress theme made with a hell of a lot of passion and madness.

What are the features of GeneratePress?

• Light and fast anyway
• No heavy page builder installation required

To be frank, Astra is also a lightweight WordPress theme, but GeneratePress is even lighter.

I have written detailed explanatory articles in the past, if you would like to read them.
