As we can’t figure out a way to bring in new reviewers and maybe keep them on-board after the initial reviews, we decided to make a few changes to the Trusted Authors program:
- Trusted Authors will need to review 1 ticket a month to be able to have their themes set live.
- Not doing a review doesn’t mean that you’ll lose your privileges or that you’ll have to re-apply. You’ll just not be able to have your themes set live until you finish a review.
- When you upload a new theme, please also add a comment (in the ticket) with a link to your latest review. Something like “This month’s review: [link goes here]”
- Not-approved tickets don’t count, they can be closed for 3 distinct issues. You’ll need to do a full review, set the ticket live if you have access or approve it.
- Only parent themes are considered, no child themes.
Considering that you just need to review one ticket a month, please take it serious. It’s 30 minutes of your time at the most.

Notice: running only the Theme Sniffer doesn’t constitute as an actual review. Please check the links mentioned above.
