As of April 2026, Verbosa is a WordPress theme with 1.0K+ active installations and a 4.6/5 rating from 21 reviews. It has been downloaded 112K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 4.5+ and PHP 7.0+. Available on WordPress.org since 2016. Top alternative: Twenty Twenty-Five.
Beautiful look on a PC (I rated it five stars for the PC version, tested on three devices), but not on the iPad. On the iPad it shows up as a single column with the site header, then sidebar widgets before the post excerpts. That order should be header/excerpts/widgets.
Previous themes I’ve used showed a proper two-column layout on the iPad. I tested Verbosa in Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Can’t find a setting to turn off the mobile menu to disable this effect or find any documentation saying what settings will fix it.
I want to use this theme, and will rate it higher if I get a fix, but unless I can find a fix, I will have to change to an iPad-friendly one soon. Looking for help. Thanks.
Nice and easy template, perfect for a website that need to concentrate the user on the contents and not the graphic.
The set up is very easy and friendly, recommended for anyone who doesn’t want to spend too much time on settings but still need some customizations.
This is a lovely theme, except for the fact that it:
* Is not actually mobile friendly: Blockquotes run off the screen, fonts are too small (even after adjusting them)
* Adjustment options are incomplete and poorly labelled (headings don’t specify which headings)
* Causes further problems in terms of access to structured data.
Simply Awesome Theme
This is a Best WordPress theme.
