Hi,

It seems that WordPress, at least in Sweden, does no longer offer premium themes. I haven’t read anything about this change. Please clarify.

Best wishes,

Carl Dieker

Hi there,

At this time we do not offer Premium themes as we are working on curating a new collection of themes that are fully compatible with WordPress block editor. We plan to relaunch premium themes again in the near future!

Is there a specific theme you are looking for? I see your current site uses a retired theme (Huntt) and that is not available for new sites, but you are welcome to continue using it on carldieker.com

Thanks for the additional info!

Looks like the “near future” has arrived! https://wordpress.com/themes/premium

Hooray! We’re now living in the near future of 2022. I still don’t see any of the promised George Jetson flying cars for sale yet though.
I only see 5 Premium themes? And they don’t appear vastly different to the available free themes. In fact all themes just seem subtle variations on a theme if you see what I mean. There needs to be a bigger difference in appearance/layout/functionality between free and Premium themes in my opinion.

This is just the first few themes, but you can expect this category of themes to grow over time as we add more themes that support full site editing, which is why the choices for the moment are limited.

You are also welcome try the beta on a newly created site and see what is around the corner, more info here: https://wordpress.com/blog/2022/01/17/get-early-access-to-full-site-editing/

Also, this set off my sarcasm meter big time. :)
