Woodmart is a premium WordPress theme from XTemos, sold through ThemeForest rather than given away on WordPress.org. In the data we crawl, it sits among the fifty most used themes we track, with a footprint that's held steady since we first spotted it in 2018. It's built squarely for online stores.
A commerce theme, not a free one
Woodmart isn't free — the author calls it a 'ThemeForest Premium Theme,' bought as a license rather than installed from the WordPress repository. XTemos has kept it maintained since 2018, and its usage has neither spiked nor collapsed in our data. That longevity comes with weight: this is a full page-builder system with its own modules, not a lean plugin, and trimming it down takes real effort.
Who actually ends up running it
Across the sites we detect running Woodmart, ecommerce dominates, with services and corporate sites making up most of the rest. The niches lean toward stores selling physical goods — electronics, furniture and interior products, manufacturing and industrial suppliers, construction and trades, plus agencies building storefronts for clients. It isn't tied to one industry; it's general-purpose retail infrastructure, showing up on a Bulgarian flooring shop as readily as a German publisher. English leads, but Spanish, German, French, Greek and Polish installs all appear in real numbers.
WPBakery underneath, Elementor increasingly on top
Woodmart was originally built around WPBakery (js_composer), and that plugin still shows up on a large share of installs we detect. Newer builds lean on Elementor and Elementor Pro instead, so expect either approach depending on when a site was set up. WooCommerce is close to universal here, unsurprising for a store-focused theme. Contact Form 7, Yoast SEO, and Revolution Slider round out the common stack, and WP Rocket appears often enough to suggest speed tuning matters on real installs.
What it's actually good at
Store features out of the box
Product grids, quick-view, swatches, wishlists — the merchandising features many themes leave to plugins are built in, which likely explains why WooCommerce is nearly constant in our data.
Deep customization without custom code
Between its own options panel and the page builder layer, most layout decisions can be made without touching a template file.
A long track record
Steady usage since 2018 means most of its early rough edges have already surfaced and been patched.
Where it starts to hurt
The builder duality is the clearest catch: sites on WPBakery inherit its shortcode-heavy markup, while Elementor builds carry their own overhead. Either way, Woodmart isn't light, and the frequency of WP Rocket alongside it suggests speed tuning is often necessary, not optional. There's no free tier and no real child-theme ecosystem, and support runs through ThemeForest licensing rather than the WordPress.org forums. Because it's built for commerce, using it for a blog means loading features you'll never touch.
If you'd rather not
For similar commerce ambitions, Salient and The7 sit in the same usage tier and cover similar page-builder-plus-WooCommerce territory. Kadence is worth a look if you'd rather use the block editor than a bundled builder — it's lighter by design. XTemos also sells Basel, an older sibling theme aimed at similar stores with a smaller footprint in our data.
A few things people ask
Is Woodmart free?
No. It's sold only through ThemeForest as a licensed theme, not distributed on WordPress.org, so there's no free version beyond the demo.
Does it need Elementor or WPBakery?
It's historically paired with WPBakery, and a large share of installs we detect still run it; newer sites increasingly pair it with Elementor and Elementor Pro instead. Both show up across our data.
Is it good for a non-store site?
It can run a services or corporate site — plenty do — but its features and plugin pairings center on WooCommerce, so a simpler theme usually fits better if you're not selling products.
So, should you use it?
Woodmart earns its spot among the widely used themes we track by doing one job well: giving store owners granular design control without a developer on retainer. If you're building or running a WooCommerce store and want that bundled in, it's a reasonable, well-tested pick. If you need something fast and minimal — a blog, a brochure site, a personal project — the overhead isn't worth it, and a lighter theme will serve you better.
