Most themes will work with WordPress 3.0 but are not designed to take advantage of the new features such as menus and multi-user. The code will need to be added to your current theme.
Many paid and premium themes have released updates for their users that contain the code for the new features.
Here are 5 free themes that are WordPress 3.0 ready. A couple of them are variations on the new default theme, Twenty Ten.
Have you installed WordPress 3.0? Does you theme utilize the new features?
Hi Kim – I was just messing about with WordPress earlier on and the new features I’ve tried so far are working. I love how you can install plugins instantly – it’s much quicker.

Hi Cath – Maybe your theme was already set to handle the features …?
Some nice themes, my favourite out of the five has to be wp3theme but it is close.

Hi Dean – I like them all but that one is really nice.
“Most themes will work with WordPress 3.0 but are not designed to take advantage of the new features” – yup, this has been the case with my theme – that I absolutely adore – for a while now.

Hi Vered – I would need to do some coding work on my theme to take advantage of new features too.
Is there a post explaining this code you’re talking about?

Hi Dennis – Menus or multiuser or both?
