To expand on my last reply ...<br><br>IF the theme author is distributing their theme from their own servers they can do as they see fit, but themes distributed from the WordPress Theme repository should use WordPress standards whether they be explicitly written or implicitly defined by similar functionality.<br>
<br>I would suggest to the author to use a method at least similar to the one noted by Austin Matzko if this is the case.<br><br><br>Cais.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 1:50 PM, Edward Caissie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:edward.caissie@gmail.com">edward.caissie@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

So should I request a more WordPress-standard implementation there?<div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 12:11 PM, Austin Matzko <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:austin@pressedcode.com" target="_blank">austin@pressedcode.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>They've set up the theme so that if someone requests the URL of the<br>
functions sub-directory, it re-directs that request to the theme<br>
developer's site.<br>
<br>
It's an unusual alternative to WP's core alternate approach in, for<br>
example, the wp-content/index.php file, which just has the following:<br>
<br>
<?php<br>
// Silence is golden.<br>
?><br>
<br>
I don't think it's a sin. If you're trying to get the web server to<br>
list directory contents you're probably up to no good anyways.<br>
