<div><div dir="ltr">Hello team,<br><br>I'm currently reviewing two themes as follow:<br><a href="https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15856" target="_blank">https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15856</a><br><a href="https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15945" target="_blank">https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15945</a><br>
<br>Both these themes add a secondary page on the Appearance section.<br>My understanding is that themes can only add "One" theme page and as many tabs as they like.<br>But this point has been argued strongly for and against - we still need clarification though!<br>
<br>My main concern is that both themes are using these secondary pages to advertise their shop's<br>other theme - I class this as unrelated items to the active theme and again this needs clarification<br>on weather we allow it or not.<br>
<br>But a bigger concern is that in both cases (most likely many other authors are doing it too) these<br>pages are pulling in content from external sources i.e. author's site and planting it in the end user's<br>
site. Effectively what they have is their shops inside someone else's site. For me this is overdoing it<br>and I feel that it must not be allowed.<br><br>Your views please<br><br>Regards,<br>Zulf<br> </div>
