WP Theme Review: Sakura

Sakura is a 2 column, widget-ready WordPress theme created by the guys from area381. The name “Sakura” which means Cherry blossom in Japanese, is a fitting name for this spring inspired theme.

Instead of the standard Hello World post, we decided to give you a gift. Today is the first day of spring and we prepared a special gift to all WordPress users – a new, free WordPress theme with spring motives.

My Take:

Sakura’s design is very simple but elegant looking. It uses a spring motive and has a feminine look to it, so this theme is basically for the ladies. This is one of the best looking WordPress themes I’ve seen in a while. I give the Sakura theme a 4.5 out of 5. To the guys at area381, great job!

This beatufiul theme was developed for newer versions of WordPress (2.1 and above) which makes use of the language_attributes() function. So if you’re running an older version of WordPress, you either upgrade your installation or remove the < ? php language_attributes(); ? > line from the header.php file to avoid having errors.

Future plans for the Sakura theme includes a 3 columned version. So watch out for it.

Preview or Download the Sakura theme.

  1. @ash – I see. I didn't know that since I'm not an avid fan of Naruto. Change theme again? It's tiring and time consuming but fun! :D

    @Grace – Hello! Yup, simple but neat design. I guess you and ash would have the same theme then. Hehe :D

  2. Hi Kuya Jaypee,

    Oo nga ang ganda ng pagkaka design nang sakura theme. Next time na ako magpapalit ng theme, at yung theme na gagamitin ko yung 3 columned version nyan.
