5 Best Minimalist Blog / Magazine WordPress Themes for 2014

There are so many great looking WordPress themes on ThemeForest. However, a theme which looks great does not necessarily mean that it’s working. Before you purchase the theme, you might want to check the “comments” section of the theme page to make sure that there isn’t any serious complaints about the theme.

So far, I have contacted ThemeForest twice about theme problems, but they never seem to be able to reproduce the errors that I encountered, maybe it’s just my bad luck, lol.

Anyway, here are some of my favourite WordPress themes for this month. So, which ones did I buy?
