Theme Review
(Last Edited: 2010-08-30)
WordPressテーマディレクトリには、誰でもGPLまたは互換ライセンスのWordPressテーマを登録できます。新しいテーマは、公開する前にWordPressコミュニティのメンバーによって点検されます。このページでは、登録されたテーマの評価の過程と範囲、テーマ審査員向けガイドライン(指針)について説明します。
Version Specific Changes
Upon the release of each new version of WordPress, the Theme review process will be updated. To ensure newly submitted themes support current WordPress features and functionality, all Themes submitted one month after a new WordPress version must support the updated review criteria.
See the list of WordPress version-specific theme review criteria changes.
The Theme Review Process and Scope
- The Theme directory is a repository of GPL (or compatible) licensed WordPress Themes. The review process, by community members, ensures Themes conform to modern web standards, WordPress standards, and are, in general, of high quality.
- Once a Theme author is ready to release a Theme to the public, they can upload it to the directory system. Be sure your Theme meets the Guidelines below, and test your theme with the Theme Unit Test before you upload your Theme.
- Submitted Themes are automatically checked to make sure they meet a few basic requirements.
- Theme authors receive an automated e-mail message, indicating that their Theme files have been received.
- Submitted Themes are assigned a ticket in the Theme Review Trac system, and entered into a review queue.
- Theme reviewers test Themes, using the method described below.
- While the goal of the design review is to ensure that Themes are functional and meet standards much of the review will surround technical issues. Themes will be checked for other factors, such as ensuring that all standards are met to a satisfactory standard, and that designs are logical, and user-friendly.
- Theme reviewers will provide feedback to Theme authors in a timely manner; and, Theme authors will have the opportunity to revise their Themes at any time.
- Theme reviewers will either approve Themes or contact Theme authors with feedback and/or questions.
- Theme authors can submit any changes via the upload page they used when they initially uploaded the Theme, either before or after a Theme has been approved.
- If a Theme is not initially approved, Theme authors can rework the Theme and resubmit it.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the process, don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your contributions!
Responding to a Review
Note: this section is currently being drafted. Consider it as such until this notice is removed.
A theme will be held for approval until items listed as Required are addressed. Once these issues have been resolved, please re-submit your Theme using the uploader tool, a new Trac ticket will be generated. Also note, re-submitted Themes are given priority over newly submitted Themes to help speed up the process and insure timely updates are available to end-users.
Theme developer questions, comments, and feedback are always welcome ... and encouraged!
Please use one of the following methods:
- Leave a comment on the appropriate Trac ticket(s) related to the theme;
- Email the theme-reviewers email list (you may need to join first); or,
- Use the #wp-themes channel on irc.freenode.net where you can find the Theme Review team.
Guidelines
- Themes must meet guidelines current as of the time of Theme submission
- Guidelines are updated following a major WordPress version release
Code Quality
Review Theme Development, WordPress Coding Standards, CSS Coding Standards/en, and Site Design and Layout for WordPress Theme code standards and best practices. Try to test your Theme across browsers/en to catch at least a few of the problems/en the users of the Theme may find later.

- Via wp-config.php: define(WP_DEBUG, true);

- Themes, including all PHP, HTML, CSS, images, fonts, and icons, are required to be 100% GPL-licensed, or use a GPL-compatible license.

Theme Documentation
Please be clear about the following in your Theme documentation (a README file included with your Theme helps many users over any potential stumbling blocks):
- Indicate precisely what your Theme and template files will achieve.
- Adhere to the naming conventions of the standard Theme hierarchy.
- Indicate deficiencies in your Themes, if any.
- Clearly reference any special modifications in comments/en within the template and stylesheet files. Add comments to modifications, template sections, and CSS styles, especially those which cross template files.
- If you have any special requirements, which may include custom Rewrite Rules, or the use of some additional, special templates, images or files, please explicitly state the steps of action a user should take to get your Theme working.
- Provide contact information (website or email), if possible, for support information and questions.
Credit links
- Themes may optionally designate Author URI and Theme URI in style.css.
- Theme URI, if used, is required to link to a page specifically related to the Theme.
- Author URI, if used, is required to link to an author's personal web site or project/development website.
- Themes are recommended to provide at least one of these two links, in order to ensure Theme users have a point of contact for the Theme developer.
- Themes may optionally include a public-facing credit link in the Theme footer.
- If used, Themes are required to include no more than one such footer credit link.
- Footer credit link, if used, is required to use either Theme URI or Author URI.
- Any exception to these requirements must be approved by the Theme Review team.
- In all cases, credit link anchor text and title are required to be accurate, appropriate with respect to the linked site. SEO-seeded anchor text and titles will subject Themes to automatic rejection.
- Since Themes are GPL (or compatible), Theme authors are prohibited from requiring that these links be kept by Theme users. An appropriate way to ask for Theme users to keep a link to the author's website is as follows: "It is completely optional, but if you like the Theme I would appreciate it if you keep the credit link at the bottom."
Theme Unit Tests
The Theme must meet all the requirements of the Theme Unit Test.
Theme Obsolescence
- Themes must be kept current once submitted.
- Any Theme not updated to the current theme review process as of the most recent release of WordPress may be subject to temporary suspension.
