  Hi,

  Could anyone recommend a fullscreen, magazine style theme that is Adsense ready. I don’t know much about WP but need to get a site up rather quickly. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Looking for something fairly white/light, uncluttered and simple. Thank you :)

  Hi there. NONE of the themes here are AdSense ready as we’re not allowed to add advertising on WordPress.com sites, regardless of upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/

  The exception is if you have your own custom domain. Then you can apply for the WordAds program. You can find more information here: https://wordads.co/ A list of themes optimised for WordAds can be found here: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/wordads/

  You can find a list of all the magazine type themes here: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/magazine/?sort=alpha

  If you must have AdSense advertising on your site, you’ll need to buy your own domain and hosting and set up a self-hosted site using WordPress.org. See these links for more information: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hosting

  Hi thanks for your reply. Yes, I have my own domain and hosting, but someone else set it up for me. I don’t know much about WordPress at all, just need something I can post articles to each day.

  I must say I’m confused now as so many sites advertise Adsense ready themes to buy?

  If you have your own domain and hosting, then you’re looking for WordPress.org. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different. On WordPress.org you can use advertising and install those themes you’ve seen advertised.

  However, we can’t help you with that in THIS forum. This forum is only for free WordPress.COM sites. Instead, please post in the WordPress.ORG forum, here: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.

  Hi eval3591 – if you have your own hosting elsewhere then that means you are running a “self-hosted” WordPress site and can run any theme, plugin, or ad you like.

  You’ve found yourself in the WordPress.com forums, which is for folks hosted here at WordPress.com.

  Since you’re not a WordPress.com user you can get help such as suggestions for self-hosted themes and plugins over in the forums devoted to self-hosted folks, as kokkieh mentioned above.

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:
