It has recently come to our attention that many Themes are using some…aggressive promotion techniques from within the WP-Admin: Embedding videos and external IFrameiframe iFrame is an acronym for an inline frame. An iFrame is used inside a webpage to load another HTML document and render it. This HTML document may also contain JavaScript and/or…

Here are some of the things I’ve been looking for specifically when performing the final audit of approved Themes waiting to be made live. These are the most-frequent issues when reopening a ticket for an approved Theme. Please consider these as “points of emphasis”, to help improve the consistency of our reviews. Prerequisites – these…

Congratulations to @ZGani, @Themonic, and @tskk; you three have completed the most new Theme approvals during September!

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…

I’d like to throw out an idea for discussion/feedback. If we get a consensus, we’ll implement it; otherwise, we’ll maintain our current process. Currently, there is a delay between tickets being closed as “Approved”, and Themes being made live in Extend (“Extend” is no more) the Theme directory. This delay exists for two reasons: one,…

I just cleared out the ticket request queue. I think I assigned tickets to everyone who requested one, but the moderation queue was a bit inundated with spam, so if I missed anyone, please post your request again. Also: please be sure to include your (case-sensitive) wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created…

Last week, I mentioned that the review queue had reached about 150, and suggested that we get together for an end-of-week/end-of-February push to clear the queue. So, how did we do? As it currently stands, the review queue is at approximately 50 tickets, with 260 tickets closed in the past 7 days, by 28 reviewers.…
