Still running an old WordPress theme? It might be time for an upgrade — and not just for looks!

📌 In this episode, Charly explains:

✅ Why older WordPress themes can hold you back, including hard-coded layouts that don’t use the modern WordPress block editor or new design features.

✅ Support issues — older themes might not be maintained, creating security risks and compatibility headaches.

✅ Challenges with moving providers — legacy themes can break when migrating your site if they rely on outdated coding methods.

✅ The power of being self-sufficient — using a modern, well-supported theme can make it much easier to update and maintain your own site without relying heavily on developers.

If you want a faster, more flexible, and easier-to-manage WordPress website, refreshing your theme could be the smartest move you make this year.
