Sara -<br><br>Thank you for your interest in having your theme hosted at the WordPress Extend repository.<br>Although, for the most part, previously "live" themes may not be a good benchmarks a quick review of the "Launch" themes you are referencing would indicate both need to have modifications made before a newer version would be approved.<br>
<br>As to the issues that you are seeing with the upload script stopping you from submitting your theme, there is no real manual process for working around it. I would suggest implementing, perhaps with additional options to display, all of the functionality your theme's submission report is stating as "REQUIRED". Once your theme is in Trac we can look further into your use-case scenarios.<br>
<br>Please keep in mind, the Themes found in the repository are meant to be potentially used by the community in general, not necessarily by a small niche group. That being said I would still very much like to see a "Launch" theme that meets all of the current guidelines in the repository.<br>

Hi everyone,<div><br></div><div>I hope this email finds you well! I was directed here by the moderater for the Themes and Templates forum, esmi. </div><div><br></div><div><div>I was wondering how to go about submitting a one-page theme to the WordPress theme repository. The theme is called Launch Effect and it is basically a placeholder page with email sign-up, unique URL generator, and built-in statistics and incentive tracking. It has almost 4,000 downloads and a dedicated technical support. The demand for this type of theme, and the feedback for ours specifically, has been really good and you can see examples of it in use on our homepage: <a href="http://www.launcheffectapp.com" target="_blank">http://www.launcheffectapp.com</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It includes a robust theme options panel where every aspect of the design can be customized and a stats panel where users are able to track signups and conversions (people who shared the site) and export their data.</div>
<div><br></div><div><b><font color="#ff6600"><i>TL;DR</i></font></b></div><div>Our one-page theme (<a href="http://www.launcheffectapp.com" target="_blank">http://www.launcheffectapp.com</a>) fails the theme upload because it's not a blog and has no need for comments or tags, etc... I was wondering if its possible for a theme with a very specific functionality like this to be submitted. I can't figure out how the other two launch type themes were able to upload (these two: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/search.php?q=launch" target="_blank">http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/search.php?q=launch</a> ) because neither of theme have any kind of blog infrastructure in place.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We'd love to be included in the official theme repository of WordPress and we thank you in advance for your guidance on this.</div><div><br></div><div>Sara</div><div><br><font color="#888888">
