20 Best WordPress Dating Themes

20 Best WordPress Dating Themes

You’ve decided to start a dating website, and you’re looking for a WordPress dating theme. Well, look no further! You’ve come to the right place.

We’ve compiled a list of the 20 best WordPress dating themes currently available on the market. Bear in mind that these are all paid, premium themes. If you’re not ready to invest money into a WP dating theme, feel free to check out our article on the best free dating WordPress themes.

Most of the entries on our list are themes that were made specifically for dating websites. However, there is a small number of themes that are community and social media themes. They’re all pretty flexible, though, and can easily be customized to fit the needs of your dating website.

 

DateBook by Pagick Themes

DateBook Layout

We’ll start our list with a WT theme called DateBook.

This is an overly simple, unimaginative and uninspired dating theme. What’s more, the design is completely outdated and the color scheme is pretty terrible.

But the theme is fully responsive and it will look decent even on mobile devices. It also  has some features that are useful for dating sites – paid subscriptions, private chat messaging, online status display and favorites list. Still, DateBook is definitely overpriced.

Notable features:

  • Paid subscriptions
  • Private chat messaging
  • Online status display
  • Easy install

Dating Theme 35992 by Template Monster

 

Dating LayoutThis is a fully customizable and responsive theme that is available in a number of languages.

However, its layout appears dull and unimpressive. That is why it’s one the lowest-rated themes on our list. It’s just not worth its price, which is surprisingly high.

Notable features:

  • Custom post types
  • Translation ready
  • 80+ shortcodes
  • SEO optimized

Mingle by Parallelus

Mingle Layout

Mingle is one of the most popular WordPress dating themes.

This theme is carefully designed and updated regularly. It’s also BuddyPress-ready.

In addition to that, it’s very easy to manage this simple theme, and you have complete control of its layout and design.

The reason why it’s ranked this low on our list is its outdated appearance. Just like the previous theme, this one is hardly worth its price.

However, Mingle does have some interesting features. For example, the drag & drop manager lets you create custom layouts, as well as attach headers and footers to each of your layouts.

Notable features:

  • Drag & drop page builder
  • Unbranded administrative interface
  • SEO ready

OneCommunity by Diabolique

OneCommunity Layout

OneCommunity is a decent theme, but there are two main reasons why it’s not ranked higher. The first one is that it’s not strictly a dating website theme, which means that it would require a lot of customization. The second reason is its uninspiring design, with a simple white and orange color palette.

On the other hand, its modular layout lets you move design blocks on the homepage, as you wish, giving you more freedom to customize it.

To conclude, OneCommunity is definitely worth checking out, because it can be made into a fun-looking dating website, with some personalization.

Notable features:

  • Modular layout
  • Private messaging system
  • Three blog styles
  • 9 color schemes

Community Junction by Diabolique

Community Junction Layout

The same can be said for Community Junction. While it’s a responsive theme, it has the same drawbacks as OneCommunity. It’s essentially a social media theme that would need a lot of customization in order to be made into a proper dating website.

It has pretty much the same features as the previous theme. It comes with a lot of amazing plugins, but once again, it’s probably not worth the quoted price.

Notable features:

  • Modular layout
  • Private live messages
  • Members grid view
  • Two blog designs

Dating Theme 49499 by Template Monster
