Theme Directory Update 1/16

Welcome to 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!

The Meta team is responsible for maintaining and managing WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ websites. Our work is mostly done on the meta trac. If you see a bug, file a ticket!

We’re currently working on these fine projects, with more in store.

Check out our handbook to learn how to get involved.

This week I finished converting the theme download script and the info endpoint of the Themes APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways.. While working on the Themes API, I added some documentation to the Codex page and published a post about the changes to the API that were needed for the new directory.

Additionally I improved the directories front-end, mostly around single theme views and server-side rendering of themes. Now tag “archives” and author pages are working and testable. I also changed the URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org structure for searches from /search.php?q=:query to /search/:query/ (more context) to align it with other parts of the directory.

Still to do:

Rewrite the Theme API’s update endpoint to work with WordPress.
Make synchronizing theme review results a cron job.
Make sure uploaded theme files are always deleted, no matter the outcome.
Import existing themes and ratings from bbpressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org..
Make the theme and pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party available for translations.
Test localized versions.
Possibly add navigational links to Upload and Commercial pages.
Actually make the switch.
