This week’s meeting will be at 18:00 UTC…

Welcome to the Themes team!

We are a group of volunteers who review and approve themes submitted to be included in the official WordPress Theme directory.

We do license, security, and code quality reviews.

We help build and maintain default themes.

The primary focus of the team is to help theme authors transition to blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.-based themes.

If this sounds interesting, read more about the team here. Check out our guide for new reviewers and the frequently asked questions.

This week’s meeting will be at 18:00 UTC in #themereview tomorrow (Tuesday)

As we talked about last week the topic this week will be ‘HooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same.’. What ones should be include, what ones shouldn’t we? This came about from the talk arising from comments.php and last week’s meeting.

As a sub point to this conversation lets consider this thread and all sides of the discussion:

Standards vs. Innovation

Bring your ideas, your opinions and lets listen to all sides. We may not bring anything out of this actionable, but we may.

I’d love to make the meeting, but SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. is once again not working for me. I’ll keep trying though.
