What Are WordPress GPL Themes and GPL Plugins?

Last Update 2 days ago

WordPress themes and plugins released under the GNU General Public License (GPL v3) are the original, unaltered products made available under a license that guarantees your freedom. Because WordPress itself is GPL-licensed, all themes and plugins associated with it inherit these same rights.

Under GPL v3, you are entitled to:


  • Use the software for any purpose

  • Inspect and modify the source code to suit your needs

  • Redistribute the original or your modified version


This open-source approach ensures transparency, fosters collaboration, and lets you take full control of your WordPress site.
