<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Totally agree! The theme should still look like a theme when activated. I'd suggest that you have clear documentation so users know they can change options from the theme options page. Make it super clear.<br>
<br>
So would I be right in assuming that SMOF is allowed then? I'll submit my theme next week and can completely strip it out if SMOF is not allowed, but didn't want to as I thought it would be cool to give a premium level theme for free.<br>

You should never, ever need to redirect the user to the Theme options page<br>
upon activation.<br>
<br>
Instead, the Theme should define and use sane defaults as a fallback, in<br>
case the user does not configure Theme options.<br>

Great idea. I'll add a recommendation for the plugin to be installed<br>
using TGM activation. Thanks, I'll remove this and take your advice.<br>

Hi,<br>

<br>
Any reason why you want to roll in the twitter widget in your theme?<br>
Simply<br>
show a message after activation to help people download the plugin. Will<br>
make your theme smaller and if the users change theme, they won't lose<br>
their<br>
twitter widget.<br>

Subject: [theme-reviewers] Is SMOF framework allowed?<br>
<br>
Hello all,<br>
<br>
I'm in the final stages of completing my WordPress theme and think people<br>
may find it useful so am thinking about trying to get it into the<br>
WordPress<br>
repository. I've noticed a few warnings however that have appeared when<br>
running theme-check.<br>
<br>
1. base64_encode error in the framework SMOF. I used this because of the<br></div>
referral on <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/**Theme_Frameworks" target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/**<u></u>Theme_Frameworks</a><<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Frameworks" target="_blank">http://codex.<u></u>wordpress.org/Theme_Frameworks</a><u></u>><div class="im">
<br>
.<br>
<br>
2. base64_encode in the Twitter feed widget which I've packaged into the<br></div>
theme <a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/**tweetscroll-widget/" target="_blank">http://wordpress.org/plugins/*<u></u>*tweetscroll-widget/</a><<a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/tweetscroll-widget/" target="_blank">http://<u></u>wordpress.org/plugins/<u></u>tweetscroll-widget/</a>><div class="im">
<br>
.<br>
<br>
If anyone can shed any light on if these are major errors I'd really<br>
appreciate your help. I really want to make sure that my themes are 100%<br>
safe so am spending a lot of time on finding any errors.<br>
<br>
Thank you so much in advance.<br>
<br>
