But once we see something like this in the diff, we point it out for correction in the next revision and (if the issue is not very severe) still approve the current version.</div><div><br></div><div>Your Theme was first approved almost two years ago and a lot has changed since then. If you want to stay on top of all changes, you might want to check out the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review">Theme Review Codex page</a> regularly and/or weigh in on the discussions we have on <a href="http://make.wordpress.org/themes/">make.wordpress.org/themes</a> for new and changing requirements.

The best practice is to use the wp_title filter with a callback function.

It's not being picked up by the Theme Check plugin or (obviously) the version of the plugin that parses submitted themes.<br><br>I'm now using the (hopefully) correct approach (via a filter) in my other themes as I update them but I just thought I should give you a heads-up on this. The approved theme (ZenLite 4.6) hasn't been added to the Theme Repo yet, so I'm quite happy to re-submit a corrected version if necessary.<br><br>Mel<br>-- <br><a href="http://quirm.net">http://quirm.net</a><br>http://blackwidows.co.uk<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>theme-reviewers mailing list<br>theme-reviewers@lists.wordpress.org<br>http://lists.wordpress.org/mailman/listinfo/theme-reviewers<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
