Team rep votes are in 27 people voted…

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.

Dear Jane,

Does there now exist since 3.5 a Standard Class that all Frameworks Developers can incorporate to duplicate the logged in Environment found in WP admin for Users other than Administrators?

Since I started using WP in 2003 thousands of plugins have been written for the Super Admin to make all settings and controls and savings of Options. Many of these plugins make changes or enhancements to every post in a blog.

But, increasingly WP is being used for Membership based blogging. One site, one “blog”, one installaltion of WP that is NOT Multi-user. But the model that simply allows Members to register and then they contribute posts to the public blog using Subscriber or Author roles. When they log in they are shown just their own blogs to Edit, Delete, or Modify.

This model is used widely, as you know, for Real Estate sites, specialized media, Classified Ads, Products, etc.

So 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 Developers have created Plugins that are meant to be modified with different options by such Member roles as Authors. After the site Admin installs the plugin and saves settings then the Members themselves will find the Plugin Name and setting and options for their use as well.

A plugin for a Booking Calendar in a Real Estate Membership site creates a Menu of possible options and settings for each Post Author. Once the Settings are saved by Post Authors they will find their own Calendars available for selection in each Post edit view, perhaps to embed from the short-code generator that this plugin installed in the Text Area toolbar.

But, I find Framework developers are simply creating Custom Forms and Custom Edit Templates for Members that strip out any Plugins once the Member’s only Edit access is from a Framework Developer’s custom designed templates. The plugins seen in WP Default Admin screens for Members are not imported “natively” into any Frameworks that I have seen for special Content types and categories in Commercially sold themes/frameworks.

There are lots of articles about STRIPPING and HIDING things from Members in themes and frameworks.

Are there 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. methods for passing along to Frameworks Admin Panels ALL of the capabilities that are natively provided at the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. installation of WP?

I have looked and looked and passed along this question repeatedly in expert forums. NO ONE has an answer.

Plugins for changing the Capabilities of assigned Roles do NOT fix this. The very way that Frameworks developers are stripping out the core capabilities of WordPress prevents plugins from taking effect when Authors or Subscribers are logged in.

Can this group address this need? Thanks so much!
