Free file nominations: WordPress Themes landing page

Hi all! This is a nomination thread for items that will be featured on our Free WordPress Themes landing page during October, November and December. This landing page is designed to bring new customers into the marketplace, and plays an important role in our SEO strategy for ThemeForest.

You can find out more about this initiative here.

NOTE: Items that require a Purchase Code to unlock functionality may not be nominated here. Please read this thread carefully before submitting your nomination.

Use this thread to nominate one of your items to be used in a Free File promotion between October 1 and December 31, 2024. This nomination thread is specific to WordPress themes, and will not include any other ThemeForest item types.

Free files are a powerful motivator for bringing new customers into ThemeForest, and serve to showcase the quality of the rest of the marketplace. Items used in these campaigns receive a significant amount of exposure, which can flow on to more people viewing your profile, portfolio, and the other items you have for sale.

What’s the process?

  • In this thread, post a message with a link to your item (you must be logged in as the author of the item) and we’ll add it to the list.
  • Two WordPress themes will be selected each month for the Free WordPress Themes landing page.
  • If your item is selected as a Free File, you’ll be notified via email with more details about the timing involved.

Who can nominate an item?

Only the creator of the item can nominate it for a Free File promotion. Any nominations for items that do not belong to the person nominating them will be removed from this thread.

Criteria for Selection

In order for a file to be considered as a Free File, the item must meet the following criteria:

  • You must be the author of the file you’re submitting.
  • Only items that were first approved after January 1st, 2015 will be considered.
  • The file must either be rated 4 stars or higher, or have at least 25 sales.
  • If your item requires a Purchase Code to unlock any functionality, it is not eligible for use in a Free File promotion.

You may nominate any number of items from your portfolio in this thread.

What if I want to withdraw my nomination?

If you’ve changed your mind, simply flag your nomination comment and let us know that you want to withdraw your item from consideration. You are free to withdraw your nomination and/or offer a different item at any time.

Any other questions?

We will keep this thread clear of everything but the nominations themselves, so if you’ve got any related questions, please follow up via DM.
