        What Is the Theme Lock-in Effect?

        Let’s say you get yourself a shiny new theme for your WordPress website. This theme provides everything that you need: it has built-in weather system, custom post types, and YouTube playlist style—even some room for adding SEO meta code.

        You develop this website for a while. Later on, say after a few months, or maybe even a year, you decide to change your theme. You get another shiny new theme, and switch the themes, you notice that all your awesome built-in tools, custom post types, and a lot more has just vanished. Not deleted, not removed, nothing—just gone!

        This is precisely what the theme lock-in effect is. By opting for a theme that performed tasks that it should not have performed in the first place, your website became locked to a particular theme, and the moment you changed your theme, everything fell out of place.
