Just something that has come up with the Cleanup and Copyediting of the Theme Review page ...<br><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
<p>Themes must support the following functionality:
</p><ul><li> Login Form - <tt><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_login_form" title="Template Tags/wp login form" class="mw-redirect">wp_login_form()</a></tt>
</li><li> Comment Form - <tt><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/comment_form" title="Template Tags/comment form" class="mw-redirect">comment_form()</a></tt>
</li><li> Automattic feed links - <tt><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support#Feed_Links" title="Function Reference/add theme support">add_theme_support('automatic-feed-links')</a></tt>
</li></ul></blockquote>
I can see the usefulness of comment_form() and add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' ) but I am not understanding the "must support" reasoning behind the wp_login_form() function.<br><br>Perhaps if the theme uses its own login form then the wp_login_form should be called to create the form, but under what other conditions _must_ it be supported? or does the function just simply need to be used regardless of the theme author's administration panels access link ideas.<br>
<br><br>Cais<br><br>PS: This was also an item listed on the NoNa theme review comments (<a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/306">http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/306</a>), or in other words how must this be addressed when a login form is not used in a theme? EAC<br>
