Overview
Sydney is a WordPress theme developed by aThemes, first listed on WordPress.org on 25 April 2015. It had more than 80,000 active installations in November 2026 and was updated to version 2.74 on 9 November 2026.[15]
The theme targets businesses, freelancers and creative portfolios, works with both Elementor and the block editor, includes a library of block patterns, and offers Google Fonts, colour and layout options, a full-screen slider and sticky navigation; its description states that it is WooCommerce-compatible, translation-ready and RTL-ready.[15] Sydney Pro adds “Extra WooCommerce Features” listed by the vendor as a wishlist, product swatches and a multistep checkout, together with an extended blog module.[16] aThemes also publishes Botiga, a separate theme it markets specifically for WooCommerce, and the Merchant plugin of conversion tools, so Sydney is the company’s business-first option rather than its store-first one.[16] Sydney Pro includes 12 months of premium support, with support extensions sold at US$49 per year.[16]
