Title: Simple Theme needed Last modified: April 23, 2020 --- # Simple Theme needed * [Will Krause](https://wordpress.org/support/users/travelerkrausesnet/) * (@travelerkrausesnet) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-theme-needed/) * I started this blog 12 years ago. Since that time, the theme that I was using became unsupported and would no longer work. I want a new theme that can handle 5 or 6 static pages and a blog (or two). I am a senior citizen who spent most of my career in the technology field. I am no longer on the front line of technology and would like advice regarding a new theme. * The available themes all look so complicated and I just want simple. I would prefer a theme that will allow me to use a WYSIWYG editor with table capability or a block editor that is flexible and easy to use. * Any advice would be appreciated. - This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/).

The new editor (also known informally as Gutenberg) is a block editor. The previous editor, which can still be used (found here as a plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/)) is a WYSIWYG editor. You may want to consider one of these plugins for table functionality: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/tables/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/tables/) * The WordPress.org theme directory can be found here: [https://wordpress.org/themes/](https://wordpress.org/themes/) * I’m not sure why the search is currently showing this many magazine-style themes 🙂 A good one can be hard to find. They tend to be worth it, but they are usually quite time-intensive when it comes to setup. * Here are a couple of themes that have been updated in the past year that may suit you: [https://wordpress.org/themes/author/](https://wordpress.org/themes/author/) [https://wordpress.org/themes/travel-minimalist-blogger/](https://wordpress.org/themes/travel-minimalist-blogger/) [https://wordpress.org/themes/lifestylepress/](https://wordpress.org/themes/lifestylepress/) I have not personally used these themes. * You can also have a look at this search: [https://wordpress.org/themes/search/minimalist/](https://wordpress.org/themes/search/minimalist/) Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘Simple Theme needed’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [simple theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/simple-theme/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Carike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carike/) * Last activity: [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-theme-needed/#post-12698640) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
