Niro – Creative Agency & Portfolio WordPress Theme Overview
Niro is a creative agency and portfolio theme from DroitThemes, built for Elementor and sold on the number of ready made starting points it offers: twenty or so home demos, sixteen portfolio styles and three single project layouts, among them carousels, split sliders and full screen and horizontal showcases.
The theme sits on a Bootstrap grid, uses Contact Form 7 for enquiries, and depends on a vendor plugin called niro-core for its own post types and settings. A free addon pack from the same studio was added in a later release and supplies a large block of extra Elementor widgets.
Published in September 2020, Niro has been updated regularly, most recently in June 2026, and its log is specific about what each release touched. The structure beyond the portfolio is deliberately short: services, service detail, about, team, contact, blog and a 404 page.

Who Niro – Creative Agency & Portfolio WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Niro reads well for a Canadian creative agency, a freelance designer or an influencer who wants a strong visual front with a short set of supporting pages. The horizontal and carousel showcases suit a practice with a handful of strong projects more than one with a long archive.
A buyer should not expect business tooling behind the presentation. Nothing described here tracks a project, raises an invoice or gates a client download, and the shop capability is thin enough that a real catalogue belongs elsewhere. The team and services pages are editorial content, not a scheduling system.
Important Notes About Niro – Creative Agency & Portfolio WordPress Theme
Removing or deactivating niro-core takes the theme’s post types, options and shortcodes with it, so treat it as part of the site rather than an optional addon. The listing names two display faces as commercial fonts that are not included, and says its demo images came from free sources that may require attribution and should be replaced, which makes licensing every image a launch task rather than an afterthought.
WooCommerce and WPML are advertised in the body but absent from the declared compatibility record, while Elementor Pro appears in that record without the listing ever saying a paid licence is needed, so confirm both on the demo. One 2022 log entry claims testing against a WordPress release that only arrived the following spring, and another cites an Elementor version far beyond that plugin’s numbering at the time. None of this is legal advice from AppiAppi.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
The customer buys Niro in their own name. AppiAppi installs it with niro-core, imports the demo closest to the brief and replaces every piece of it with the customer’s projects, service descriptions, team profiles and journal posts, substituting licensed fonts and imagery for the demo set.
We then configure the portfolio categories and filters, the enquiry form and its privacy wording, and the entry animations, and keep the site under maintenance afterwards: updates, backups, monitoring, content changes, replies to enquiries and AI-assisted SEO and content support, matched to the customer’s plan.
