We will talk about it in a little detail in our next post. The purpose is to make you aware that there is more to learn about creating Viral blog other than a great theme. But today, I am listing out the best WordPress themes for starting a Viral blog,
Here is a list of the best WordPress themes that has all the qualities for a Viral blog.
Socially Viral from MyThemeShop
Price: $49 | Live Demo | Download
Socially Viral WordPress theme is the closest you can get to the current design of Viral Nova, the famous viral site that has resulted in tons of clones already, and most of them are working well.
Viral Nova has mastered the art of making their content go viral, So if you want to follow the footsteps of viral nova, this is the site for you.
TruePixel from MyThemeShop
Price:$49 | Live Demo | Download
TruePixel is another great WordPress theme by MyThemeShop. It was the first WordPress theme which was used by Viral Nova, as it has all the elements required for a blog to go viral, plus it was so easy to get started with. If your focus it to get started ASAP, then go for this theme.
Newspaper theme (ThemeForest)
Price: $58 | Live Demo | Download
I found this theme on Themeforest when I was looking for a visual theme for one of my blogs, I was amazed to see the variety of design options it offers, the functionality is amazing, I have been using this theme on one of my sites now, in fact, I can use it on many other blogs including a Viral blog because this theme is a perfect fit for it.
Rexus from ThemeJunkie
Price: $49 | Live Demo | Download
I find Rexus from Theme Junkie visually very appealing, The front page is inspired from the current design on The Verge, which has emerged as one of the best tech blogs in no time. There is also a feature to showcase videos that play directly on the page, which is a perfect thing for a viral blog.
WP-Prosperity
Price: $69 | Live Demo | Download
WP- Prosperity is my favourite theme of all. It is a simple WordPress theme which focuses on the content, you can literally change every aspect of this theme which can be done very easily using a bunch of shortcodes and theme options. A lot of thought has been put to create this theme, it’s a well-coded theme that rules them all.
NewsPaper by MyThemesShop
Price: $69 | Live Demo | Download
The NewsPaper Theme from MyThemesShop is simple yet visual WordPress theme which loads blazingly fast. I am amazed at its speed. This theme again takes an inspiration from a very popular blog on life hacks which also has a lot of visual content. So, NewsPaper makes it a great WordPress theme to get started.
Bimber by BrightPixel
Price: $49 | Live Demo | Download
Bimber is the newest addition to this amazing list of viral blog themes. I usually don’t do this but Bimber deserves to be on this list as it is packed with viral features done perfectly. I loved browsing through the blog with Bimber theme. Bimber is listed on ThemeForest at $49. But it before they increase the price to $59 or even $69 because it’s worth it.

Hey Asif,
It’s my first time stopping by your blog and I love the design. I also made a post on viral Nova clone theme here donmodekali.com/viral-nova-wordpress-theme/ and have a few that you haven’t mentioned like BearWorthy. I also missed some you have over here. Do you mind me adding them to my list?

Thanks for dropping by, I really appreciate your feedback regarding the design of this blog.
Feel free to include these themes in your list.
Thanks once again for visiting.
Hello,
Do you know how to make the Newspaper Theme compatible with WPML? It is not fully compatible and their support team does not seem to have answers or an interest in answering this particular question. I see you offer blog setup service, this is why I ask.
The Newspaper theme does support Multi Language, as stated in their listing page on theme forest.
Multi Language site support via the free qTranslate plugin. All from wp-admin.
1st one is impressive, Thinking to switch that theme
