OceanWP is a multipurpose WordPress theme for building websites on self-hosted WordPress. Its live previews let users adjust page layouts, colors, menus, and the order of blog post elements.

Listed integrations include LifterLMS, LearnDash, Easy Digital Downloads, and bbPress; its integration settings also include Google Maps, reCAPTCHA, MailChimp, Adobe Fonts, and SVG support.

The paid Ocean Core Extensions Bundle includes 14 premium extensions, 240+ Pro Demos, updates, and premium ticket support.
