Featured Themes – Make WordPress Themes

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.

Handbooks and review requirements

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

We maintain the WPThemeReview Standard for PHP_CodeSniffer, the Theme Sniffer plugin and Theme Check

Code Packages

We have code packages for themes available for use on Github and Packagist

Congratulations to @ZGani, @poena, and @tskk; you three have completed the most new Theme approvals over the past 30 days!

Also, because we had a “short” month (we announced the contest only 16 days ago), if we consider Themes approved during that period alone, @bhadaway would be in the top three. So, we’re going to give him an “honorable mention” and let him select one Featured Theme as well.

Please post your Featured Theme selections in the comments, with a link to the Theme’s WPORG Theme Directory listing. The Themes that will be cycled out are: Mog, Leaf, Discover, and Alexandria.

And, great job on getting Themes approved, everyone! Over the past 30 days (the vast majority of which – 90 – have been in the past 16 days), 117 new Themes have been approved and added to the Theme directory, by a total of 23 reviewers. (If you note from Matt’s State of the WordState of the Word This is the annual report given by Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress at WordCamp US. It looks at what we’ve done, what we’re doing, and the future of WordPress. https://wordpress.tv/tag/state-of-the-word/. address at WCSF, fewer than 350 new Themes were added in the previous year – and we did almost half that many just in the past month alone.)

That’s absolutely phenomenal improvement!

Good luck to all of you over the next month. We’ll announce three new winners in September!
