Is Total a good WPBakery WordPress theme?
Total is WPExplorer's multipurpose WordPress theme, priced at $59 with 58,500 sales and a 4.86 rating. It is the most explicitly WPBakery-first theme still selling well on ThemeForest - WPExplorer leads its own listing with "WPBakery Drag & Drop Page Builder" rather than burying it under Elementor. More than 40 importable demos and a deep theme-options panel back that up, and the last update landed in September 2026.
Best for: site owners who want WPBakery to stay the centre of the workflow rather than a legacy option
The Total WordPress theme from WPExplorer is the one theme in this collection that still sells itself on WPBakery. Its ThemeForest listing leads with “WPBakery Drag & Drop Page Builder” while almost every rival now leads with Elementor.
WPBakery is the pitch, not a footnote
That framing matters. Consequently everything in Total assumes the builder: the demos are built with it, the theme’s own modules extend it, and the documentation is written around it. Moreover, WPExplorer has not announced a migration. Therefore anyone with a large WPBakery site can plan several more years without a rebuild.
40+ demos and a deep options panel
The demo library covers business, agency, portfolio, shop, restaurant and landing-page concepts, and each imports as a full site. In addition, Total exposes an unusually deep theme-options panel plus dynamic templates and custom post types. As a result, most layout work happens through settings rather than through code or a child theme.
Functional rather than fashionable
Total’s design language is plain next to TheGem’s creative templates or Kraft’s minimalism. However, that is a deliberate trade: the demos are meant as starting points you restyle, not finished art direction. Furthermore, the rating suggests buyers are happy with that bargain – 4.86 across 58,500 sales is among the best here.
Still shipping
WPExplorer released the most recent update on 4 September 2026, which makes Total one of the most actively maintained themes in this collection. Moreover, the $59 price is below The7 and Betheme while the rating sits above The7. Therefore, for a WPBakery-first project it is the obvious value pick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Total built around WPBakery?
Yes, more openly than any other theme in this collection. WPExplorer leads its ThemeForest listing with the WPBakery builder, and the demos, modules and documentation all assume it.
How many demos does Total include?
More than 40, each importable as a complete site rather than a single page, covering business, agency, portfolio, shop and landing-page concepts.
Is Total still maintained?
Yes – the latest update is dated 4 September 2026, making it one of the most actively maintained themes on this list.
Does Total have an Elementor version?
No. It is a WPBakery theme. If you want a migration path, The7, Betheme and TheGem support both builders in the same install.
Is the design modern enough?
The demos are functional starting points rather than finished art direction, which is a deliberate choice. If you want stronger visual identity out of the box, TheGem or Kraft will suit you better.
How much does Total cost?
$59 on ThemeForest – below The7 and Betheme, with a higher rating than either at 4.86. Check the item page for current pricing.
