Hi Everyone Just letting you know that today…

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.

The team maintains the official Theme Review Requirements, the Theme Unit Test Data, and helps the documentation team with the Theme Developer Handbook.

Coding standards and plugins

Code Packages

#themereview

Hi Everyone,

Just letting you know that today I’ve rolled out the start of the international Theme Directories, for example: https://ro.wordpress.org/themes/

A few points that impact both Theme Reviewers and Theme Authors:

Theme submissions from these localised sites are possible, if theme reviewers start to see an increase in non-english uploads, please let the metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. team know so we can alter wording/warnings for those uploading to be more clear
Theme Descriptions are not yet translated, even if the theme ships with translations of the description. We’ll be working on that part next. This will also apply to any eventual readme improvements we make.
