Although there are 1000's of free themes, many of them are not regularly updated by the theme's developers. Some of them are very 'heavy,' which can make your blog load slowly. Some have very minimal features/design options. And some are just not user-friendly. Â
Here's a list of popular free themes. All of these themes are feature-rich and regularly updated.
To install any of these themes from your WordPress dashboard, go to 'Appearance > Themes > Add new.
Astra
Neve
ColorMag
Newspaper Lite
Hueman
Hestia
Foodica
Justread
Sydney
Poseidon

I love the Hueman theme Theo, and I want to user it in my new blog, but I see it hasn't been updated since December 2021. That breaks one of your rules for picking a theme, but do you think it's still a good solid theme?
Yes, it is.
