Should themes include plugin functionality ?

  • Should themes just cover the visual and layout aspect of WordPress or should they include other functionality that is covered by other plugins like SEO or Google Analytics etc.

  • Hi Arnold,

    My personal opinion is that themes should be as flexible and customizable as possible, so users can adapt them to their specific needs.
    This is why I would not include any functions in my theme that have been already addressed or offered to WP users through a plugin, yet alone include any specific plugin in the theme.
    If you are looking for information about how to create a template, there are a lot of WP resources, articles, and tips about creating themes online.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!
