How to choosing and selecting a Theme And Plugins on wordpress

Choosing a theme is, in many ways, the most difficult task of all. Plugins are usually more specific: You install one to perform a single task. While themes “simply” add the visuals for the front page, testing them can be more complex.
A theme has parts you might not think of testing, such as the 404 page, the search page, the archive and so on. In addition, some themes boast a lot of features.

Code quality affects the speed of your website, which, along with the design, affects your users directly.

Depending on what type of website you have (a personal blog, a store, a forum and so on.), you will also need some plugins. These work in conjunction with your theme and WordPress’ back end to provide specific functionality. Let’s go over a few common setups.

IN SELECTING A THEME LINK
Once you have your base plugins (you can use any number of them together), I recommend adding some content in the back end. This will make it much easier to gauge your theme.
If you’re using bbPress, create some forums, threads and answers. Create multiple users and answer different questions with each of them. If you’re using WooCommerce, add some products with nice images and fill out the details.

One limitation is that you won’t know the capabilities of these plugins. This makes testing nearly impossible, especially if you’re also trying to get to grips with a theme. My recommendation is this. If you are new to WordPress or a particular plugin, always test it using a default theme, such as Twenty Fifteen. Twenty Fifteen is particularly good because it is a clean, minimal theme that is coded by the WordPress team and supports all plugins.

Not all features will look perfect, but functionality-wise you will be able to test everything. Once you understand the theme and the plugin, you can choose a different theme and test the waters there. You’ll notice any missing functionality and any unstyled elements.
What I’ve noticed during my 10 years of working with WordPress is that there is almost no such thing as a perfect theme, just as there is no such thing as a perfect line of clothing in a large apparel store. You might like a coat better if it was an inch longer or like your shoes more if they had a subtly different curve. The only way to get truly perfect clothes is to have them made specifically for you, which is extremely expensive.

The same with WordPress themes. The reason they are usually not perfect is because they are made to serve a large user base. If a theme is perfect for you, then it probably lacks features for other people. You can get a perfect theme if you get a developer to make one for you, but that is expensive.
At the beginning, I suggest settling for a 90% perfect theme. In many cases, what a website owner perceives as being imperfect does not make much of a difference to users. Website speed and easy navigation count for far more than visual perfection.
Get a theme that is close enough, and tweak it using settings and plugins. Perhaps get a developer to make tiny modifications, but don’t dwell on it too much. You can always switch themes or get a theme made for you when you have the funds.
There are some guidelines for choosing a good theme, many of which you can tick off with some research.

The basics are these:- good design, including strong readability and easy navigation; solid, secure and speedy code; compatibility with the latest version of WordPress; active development; compatibility with popular plugins; support and documentation.

THERE ARE PREMIUM AND FREE THEMES LINK
Contrary to popular belief, free themes aren’t of lower quality than premium themes. You will  find amazing and horrible themes in both categories. It comes down to the effort of the coding team behind the theme, not the price tag.

In many cases, assessing the quality of a premium theme is easier. Because people have paid money for it, they will be much more likely to rate and comment on the theme than users of free themes.
Many premium marketplaces also have open forums where themes can be discussed. You can even talk to the seller before buying their theme. This makes it a bit easier to evaluate.
