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.

2. Reserved themes name

We usually get questions from theme author regarding the name availability for themes. Before finding the name, we suggest you to check themes svn and also search the name in search engines. While uploading the new theme, theme check will also find the number of active installs of the theme. Not only the themes svn.

You can also read the discussion in Slack.

P.S: We always suggest to find a unique name. 🙂

3. Open Floor

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