# Recommended Theme for Testing Various Plugins

 * When I see an interesting plugin, I’ll install it, note its capabilities, delete
   it, and move on to the next one. I am concerned about theme compatibility issues.
   Even if a plugin works with a particular theme, certain options might not be 
   apparent. Also, I might have to do a certain amount of cleanup after deleting
   the plugin, i.e., deleting pages created by the plugin. With some themes, that
   can be a hassle.
 * I’m looking for a good free theme that is easy to work with, and is likely to
   be compatible with just about any plugin.
 * Any recommendations?

 * Personally I would use one of the standard Twenty themes, except for Twenty Seventeen,

 * Twenty Seventeen. Part of the default “Try this if it does not work” includes
   switching to Twenty Seventeen like so.

    - Switch to the Twenty Seventeen theme
    - Deactivate all the plugins, no exceptions
    - Clear your browser’s cache and cookies
 * And re-visit your site. Does the problem still exist when you do that?
