Any Theme that *requires* installation of a Plugin - whether manual installation or via script, such as TGM Plugin Activation - would not be accepted. Themes must function (and conform to all Guidelines) fully without requiring any Plugins.<div>
<br></div><div>That said, using something like that script would be a great way for Theme developers to *enhance* Theme functionality, as long as such Themes still gracefully degrade and function fully without activation of the recommended Plugin(s).</div>

Has anyone come across themes submitted using this library: <a href="http://tgmpluginactivation.com/" target="_blank">http://tgmpluginactivation.com/</a> ?<div><br></div><div>It's a library that allows a theme to suggest or require plugins on activation (both from extend/plugins and private repos). Its benefits are obvious, but a theme review including this library would necessitate a full review of the code to which it links.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Perhaps we'd consider allowing it as long as plugins are only recommended instead of required, and only from extend/plugins?</div><div><br></div><div>I'm asking, of course, because it would be great to start suggesting it (or something similar) to theme devs that are including functionality like shortcodes, etc in themes.
