Test Block Themes with WP 5.8
WordPress 5.8 is in Beta 1 soon. 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.
Open Floor
We will discuss everything related to themes. Attendees can ask or share themes related things.
Please comment in the comment box below if you have anything to bring up during the open floor.
