Maybe you were on the lookout for a good WordPress theme and came across a site that you really like. But it wasn’t obvious which WordPress theme is being used.

Unless there is a WordPress Theme link or name in the site footer, or you know how to look at the HTML source code and hunt out the information, you may have to use a WordPress theme detector.
