Theme Directory uploads

Last week, theme uploads were broken for a few hours due to a Trac Authentication change. It looks like the themes got added to SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.org/., but the trac ticket didn’t get made.

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 disabled the uploads for some time before fixing it.

We would like to thank meta team and @dd32 for the quick fix.

Preventing spam and keyword stuffing in theme descriptions

Theme developers have used keyword stuffing in the theme description for their theme to show up when a user searches for a popular theme. There has been at least one negative review from a user calling this “click bait” and it has
been brought up by theme developers that this should not be allowed in the theme directory.

See the related meta ticket #5773. For this, we may need to clarify the theme requirements.

As an example, you can read how this is handled in the plugin guidelines:
https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/#9-developers-and-their-plugins-must-not-do-anything-illegal-dishonest-or-morally-offensive

Theme Check plugin new update

Dion(@dd32) is going to release a new version of the Theme Check plugin in a few days to fix uploading Block themes to the theme directory.

So, If anyone has anything else they’d like to get into the next release, if you can get it merged sooner (within reason, tested, etc) than later that’d be great.

Open floor

We will discuss everything related to themes. Attendees can ask or share themes-related things.

Theme Check updates

Theme Review Action updates

Proposal: Setting theme updates live directly

Themes that are updated for the first time in two years or more, go through the Updates for old themes review queue instead of going live directly. The theme ticket status is updated manually after review.

The team representatives would like to suggest that those tickets should go live directly after the automated testing, instead of going to the review queue.

Test Block Themes with WP 5.8

WordPress 5.8 is in BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions.

We would like to request you to check block themes mostly with 5.8. Also, a few experimental full site editing themes are in the repository now, so you can try them as well.

Theme Check plugin testing

For theme authors, please check Theme Check plugin in the GitHub repository and check. We are updating this plugin and we hope for your feedback and contribution.

Handbook

There has been two suggestions put forward for the recommended page in the review section of the team handbook.
Please consider these options:

  • Delete it.
    The page has been unused for years and the text on it even says This page has been removed.
    Some background information: The content of the page was removed because it had subjective design recommendations and the team does not review design.
  • Re-use it for requirements that are being reduced from requirements to recommendations
    As the team continues the work to reduce requirements, there are listings that we want to keep as recommendations. The recommended page may be suitable for this content.
