<div dir="ltr">As this particular guideline is prefaced with "This section is draft only" the "REQUIREMENT" is not in fact actually mandatory, yet.<br><br>A "draft" guideline is one that is being added and can be expected to be read and implemented as is but should not be used as a "show-stopper" for the review of a theme. It should most definitely be noted on the theme trac ticket. Also, in most cases, "draft" guidelines should still be adhered to but if one (or more) "draft" guidelines are not met it is not reason enough to resolve a theme as "not-approved".<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div>@jose . Recently I have developed a theme Appointment version 1.1 which is not-approved till date and the team review member gave the following feedback " <b>Themes are required to facilitate the use of Child Themes. A "basic"
Child Theme (i.e. a style.css with Template header tag and @import() of
the Template style.css), when activated, should function exactly as the
Theme itself functions. bloginfo('stylesheet_url') and
bloginfo(stylesheet_directory) were found in the file header.php. Use
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead.</b>" <br><br></div>I tried to ask regarding this in the same ticket but dint get any replies from past 40 hrs.... Please Help...<br>
