Soma WordPress Theme

Who Soma is for

Soma is the most versatile theme in this family and the free version reflects that. It carries 14 free features including WooCommerce compatibility, Elementor support, a contact form, Google Maps, a preloader and full colour control, so one theme can carry a business site, a small shop or a portfolio. It is the sensible pick when you are not yet sure what the site will grow into.

• Multi-purpose sites that need both pages and products in one theme
• Small businesses that want a contact form and map without extra plugins
• Anyone who expects to change the site's purpose in a year and does not want to rebuild

What you can build with Soma

The free list is genuinely broad: header style options, background images, sticky header, 800+ Google Fonts, unlimited colour options, a parallax effect and one-click demo import. Because WooCommerce and Elementor are both supported in the free version, a shop can sit next to a services section without a second theme or a redesign.

• Parallax Effect
• Favicon, Logo, Title and Customization
• Header Styles

What the free version includes

All of these are in the free download from WordPress.org, which is why Soma is the strongest starting point in the family for a general-purpose site.

• Parallax Effect
• Favicon, Logo, Title and Customization
• Header Styles
• Woocommerce Compatible
• Elementor Page Builder
• 1 Click Demo Import Feature

Pro extends what the free theme already does rather than unlocking it: a homepage slider, extra social icons, control over WooCommerce products per row and per page, sidebar settings for shop and blog, footer credit editing, footer column and colour settings, and additional custom widgets. See the Soma Pro add-ons.

How to install Soma

1. Install Soma from the WordPress.org theme directory and activate it.
2. Use the one-click demo importer to get a full layout you can edit down.
3. Choose a header style, then set colours and fonts in the customizer and preview live.
4. Add a contact page with the form and a Google Map for a physical location.
5. If you are selling, install WooCommerce and set products per row before checking the category pages.

Frequently asked questions

Is Soma free?

Yes. Soma is a free theme available from WordPress.org under the GPL licence, and commercial use is allowed. A Pro add-ons plugin exists for extra features, but the free theme is fully functional on its own.

Does Soma work with WooCommerce and Elementor?

Both are supported in the free version. WooCommerce compatibility means store templates are styled by the theme, and Elementor support means pages can be built visually. That combination is unusual at this level of the free tier.

How many colours and fonts can I change?

The free theme exposes unlimited colour options and 800+ Google Fonts, plus background images and header styles. All of it is in the customizer, so changes preview live without touching code.

What does Soma Pro add?

A homepage slider, extra social icons, WooCommerce products-per-row and per-page controls, shop and blog sidebar settings, footer credit and column settings, footer colours and extra custom widgets. The core layout stays the same.

Can I import a demo and edit it?

Yes. The one-click demo import builds a complete site, and you then replace images and copy. Editing a populated layout is faster than composing sections from scratch, particularly on a multi-purpose theme.
