Does changing WordPress Theme Affect My SEO?

[Thomas]

It depends how weak the coding is on the other theme and how your code is on your theme already.It may help your seo if the coding is better.For instance if the coding uses sections, headers, navs, articles etc and your theme doesn't then it will be greater when you swap themes, but if you obtain a theme which doesn't and also does not allocate the correct header titles in the correct manner then you might get worst.I would check the coding before purchasing.If your website does not use the latest sections, articles, apart, header, footer, navs etc then that side does not matter if the other theme does not, but I would suggest to be sure that the title headers h1, h2 etc are allocated in the right manner.
