Title: extend – Make WordPress Core --- # Tag Archives: extend [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/otto42/) [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://profiles.wordpress.org/otto42/) 5:45 pm _on_ April 14, 2011 Tags: extend, [themes ( 43 )](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/themes/), [wporg ( 10 )](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/wporg/)    # 󠀁[I’m going to be upgrading the extend themes…](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2011/04/14/im-going-to-be-upgrading-the-extend-themes/)󠁿 I’m going to be upgrading the /extend/themes bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. [https://bbpress.org](https://bbpress.org) install to bring it up to the same level of bbPress where the ideas and plugins and support forums are. This is to allow the login cookies to integrate properly across the whole site. This means that parts of the themes directory will be non-functional or broken for short periods of time as I track down issues with it. These times should be short and as minimal as possible.

This just gives a link to the theme’s SVN, for people that want to use it. This is something several of the theme reviewers asked for, and it fits with the long term goal of allowing some theme authors the ability to directly update themes via SVN instead of using the ZIP file uploader. Encouraging SVN use is a good thing, I think.

The only child theme we have in there at present that I know of is this one: https://wordpress. org/extend/themes/mazeld , but now the preview works for it. Note that the parent theme of a child theme must also be in /extend/themes for this to work.

So now when you search for things like “buddypress”, you should get what you’re looking for on the first page of results more often. It was a minor adjustment, so it didn’t occur to me to tell anybody. Sorry about that. 🙂 [#extend](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/extend/), [#plugins](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/plugins/), [#wordpress-org](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/wordpress-org/) [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/otto42/) [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://profiles.wordpress.org/otto42/) 9:32 pm _on_ August 27, 2010 Tags: compatibility, extend, [plugins ( 33 )](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/plugins/) # 󠀁[New for Extend/Plugins: If a user clicks…](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2010/08/27/new-for-extendplugins-if-a-user-clicks/)󠁿 New for Extend/Plugins: If a user clicks the “Broken” link, it will record the click as usual, but now also redirect them to the start a new topic support form, and nicely ask them to leave a new topic explaining what’s broken. Hopefully, this will make the broken button more useful.
