EightyDays – A WordPress Theme For Travel Blogs Overview
EightyDays is a small, image-forward travel blog layout. Rather than a large options panel it keeps a short list of settings in the WordPress Customizer, each with a live preview, so the site is configured in minutes rather than hours.
GretaThemes publishes it, and it is built on the Underscores starter with its stylesheet written in LESS and organised in modules. Related articles are generated by the theme itself, with no companion plugin, and can be switched off where the owner prefers a plugin.
Its structure is simply posts, categories and a featured content area that promotes chosen articles at the top of the home page. That makes it a travelogue rather than a travel business platform, which is worth knowing before comparing it to heavier themes.

Who EightyDays – A WordPress Theme For Travel Blogs Is Suitable For
It suits Canadian travel writers, photographers and small tour operators who want a reading-led journal and not an administrative system. Owners who publish a steady stream of large photographs will get the most from the layout.
A travel agency expecting to take bookings on the site should look at a different theme, or plan for separate booking software run alongside it, because nothing of that kind is present here and the listing claims none.
Important Notes About EightyDays – A WordPress Theme For Travel Blogs
The marketplace record was last updated in October 2019 and declares WordPress 6.0.x as its ceiling, so compatibility with current releases needs testing before a build; the vendor makes no statement about discontinuing the theme, so treat this as an open question rather than a verdict. The item page publishes no changelog at all, only a link to the vendor’s own site, while the packaged stylesheet reads 2.3.2, so nothing on the listing dates that build. The listing text is also damaged in places, with apostrophes rendering as question marks and one feature line sitting outside its list item.
There is no booking function, no destination post type and no inventory of any kind: trips are articles and places are categories. A travel blog usually earns through affiliate links and sponsored stays, and those material connections must be identifiable to readers, which the Competition Act’s deceptive marketing provisions cover. Demo photography is licensed to the vendor and cannot be kept, which matters for a layout built around large images. Commenter records are personal information under PIPEDA, Quebec’s Law 25 and the Alberta and British Columbia acts, and Bill 96 requires French where the publication serves Quebec. AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
