Zakra
What Zakra is
Zakra is a multipurpose theme for self-hosted WordPress sites, with starter designs for business, ecommerce, magazines, blogs, portfolios, and LMS sites. Its live-preview customization covers headers, typography, footers, colors, layouts, and menus. The feature list includes responsive design, Gutenberg compatibility, and page builder support. Zakra lists compatibility with WooCommerce, Elementor, WPML, Yoast SEO, Brizy, Rank Math, WP Rocket, The Events Calendar, Jetpack, and other WordPress tools. The theme is GPL licensed and intended for self-hosted WordPress, not WordPress.com. A free plan is available; Zakra Pro (Annual) costs $69 a year, and other annual and lifetime plans are listed. Zakra Pro is a separate add-on plugin, so the free Zakra theme must be installed and activated first. Free users can use WordPress.org forum support, while premium users have live chat and support tickets. The maker says support does not cover modifications or third-party plugin integrations. If a license expires, the site remains intact, but updates and support stop.
