What it does
Many visitors browse at night or simply prefer darker screens, and a bright white site can be hard on the eyes in low light. This plugin gives your site a dark version that switches on when a visitor's operating system is set to dark mode. Visitors who want to choose for themselves can use a light and dark toggle switch at any time, so nobody is locked into one look.
You control how the dark version looks. Settings let you tailor colors, backgrounds and individual elements, from a light touch to a fully customized dark theme, and there are options for customizing dynamic dark mode. Dark mode settings can also be handled within widget areas and Elementor. The plugin extends Darklup Lite, the base dark mode plugin, which needs to be active on your site, and it is set up through a settings page without any coding.
Best for
- Blogs and news sites with long reading sessions
- Elementor sites wanting a branded dark version
- Site owners who want dark mode without coding

Questions about Darklup Pro
Does dark mode turn on automatically for my visitors?
Yes. The plugin detects the visitor's system preference, so anyone whose device is set to dark mode sees the dark version of your site automatically. Visitors can also use the toggle switch to change modes manually whenever they want.
Can I make the dark version match my brand colors?
You can. The settings let you tailor colors, backgrounds and individual elements, so you can choose anything from a subtle darkened look to a fully customized dark theme that lines up with your existing branding.
Do I need another plugin for this to work?
Yes. Darklup Pro builds on Darklup Lite, the base dark mode plugin from the same developer, so the Lite version needs to be active on your site alongside it.
Will it work with pages built in Elementor?
The plugin includes Elementor and widget support, so you can manage dark mode settings within the page builder and in widget areas. That helps Elementor layouts and sidebar content follow the same dark styling as the rest of the site.
