Total - Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme
Total is a modern and responsive WordPress theme that combines the power of the WordPress Customizer and theWPBakery Page Builder(formerly known as Visual Composer) to allow you to create a website for virtually anything. The theme targets diverse niches—from corporations and small business to online stores, services, and bloggers—and includes demos and robust customization options to fit any project.
What Total offers
- Support for a wide range of niches and professions, with demos to preview capabilities before building.
- Integration with popular plugins and ecosystems for e-commerce, forums, memberships, events, learning management, and more (e.g., WooCommerce, BBPress, BuddyPress, The Events Calendar, Learn Dash).
- A focus on speed, flexibility, and easy customization via live tools rather than heavy, bloated panels.
- Aimed at freelancers and agencies: import demos quickly, tweak for clients, or build sites from scratch using the page builder and customizer.
Demo importer and a quick start
- Demo Importer: built-in tool to import content, theme settings, widgets and sliders from live demos.
