<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">This is just a note about a rule that I think should be added to the<br>
theme review process:<br>
<br>
- Themes should not do anything to the database merely by virtue of<br>
being activated.<br>
<br>
By that, I mean that having a theme check for a setting, like<br>
get_option or get_theme_mod and then calling set_option or<br>
set_theme_mod to set it to some default is wrong.<br>
<br>
Both get_option and get_theme_mod accept a second parameter of a<br>
default setting. If I call get_option(&#39;whatever&#39;,123) and there is no<br>
whatever option, then that will return 123.<br>
<br>
Use the defaults properly. Don&#39;t set them just because they&#39;re not there.<br>
