Hello, as I was building my website, I used the most appropriate Themes template related one major category about health. I saw the "thousands" of Themes templates as promised,
It's not WA that is asking you to upgrade, it's the theme owners. You must understand that they run a business, one that cannot survive if people don't upgrade.
However, you don't have to upgrade if you don't want to. It's totally up to you.

You don't have to upgrade at all, there's plenty you can do with free themes, Of course paid ones created by themes businesses offer more.
Hi - typically, when you are looking at a theme demo, it shows you how it could look once you have customised it yourself with your own images and content. In reality, you will simply get a skeleton of the theme. It is up to the individual creators of the themes, not WA, as to whether they wish to charge you to upgrade for more features.
Hi Diane,
thank you for the clarifications as it put more light into my path. Maybe got carried away with the wrong expectations being new in this platform. Appreciate the prompt response.

WordPress has thousands of free themes. However, if you want premium ones, you have to pay for that. Free themes offer good services and templates but limited.
Hi drmohfa91,

Why the theme templates I have to pay?

As Diane mentions, the theme's that you are choosing from are to show you what is possible by adding your own content and images as you build your website out. You are choosing a layout when selecting a theme. Some themes do come with "demo" content, but this is quite rare and must be changed as you develop your website as you will not own the copyrights to the images etc. There are many free image sources that you can use, including images found within SiteContent. I have listed a few in the post below that you might like to consider. As for themes, I would strongly suggest using GeneratePress as it is extremely customisable (not just the black and white you see in the example). Free Image Sources
