Alchemists is my best-selling theme — trusted by nearly 3,000 clubs, teams and sports news sites. Rosters, results, standings and match coverage work out of the box with SportsPress, wrapped in a bold magazine-style design that handles a busy news front page as comfortably as a club homepage.

The technology
Alchemists is a classic WordPress theme (PHP + SCSS) built on the Bootstrap 4 grid. The sports data layer runs on SportsPress, the shop on WooCommerce, and pages are composed with WPBakery Page Builder plus 50+ purpose-built sport blocks — match previews, scoreboards, standings, player infographics and more. Contact Form 7 handles forms, and everything is translation-ready.
Licensing and updates run through Freemius: activate your key under Appearance → Theme License and the theme updates straight from your dashboard, with bundled plugin installs and demo import unlocked by the license. Compatible with current WordPress 6.x.
Everything you need to know
Four ready-made versions: basketball, soccer, American football and eSports, plus dark variants for basketball and soccer. Under the hood it’s SportsPress, so any team sport with fixtures, results and standings can be configured.
No. ACF Pro, WPBakery, Slider Revolution and the rest are covered by the theme — they install from your dashboard once your license is active, and their updates arrive through the theme. No separate keys to buy or manage.
$59/year covers one website plus its development and staging copies, renewing at 40% off — or pay $179 once for a lifetime license. If a license lapses, your site keeps working exactly as before; renewing restores updates, support, plugin installs and demo import. Full terms on the license page.
No. Convert your ThemeForest purchase code into a free license key on the migration page — it takes about a minute, and you get the same automatic updates direct buyers get.
Yes — 14 days on direct purchases. If the theme doesn’t fit, open a support ticket or request a refund through Freemius and you get your money back in full.
Support covers installation, configuration, bug fixes and usage questions — see the support page. Between the documentation and one-click demo import, most sites are up in an afternoon. Custom development is outside support scope.
