Do we ask admin if the author has been granted an exception, or is it enough that<BR>an admin at some point has pushed it live?<BR> <BR>The theme <em>almost</em> works without the recommended plugin -it doesn't display the latest posts and there is a broken slideshow.<BR><em>The purpose of the theme is obvious </em>and it was also first approved 16 months ago, when is a theme considered old enough to be an exception?<BR>I do feel that, since there already is a plugin, it would be a better choice to update the plugin, and clean up the theme.<BR> <BR>When does it become "too much"? it's a real estate theme and I'm finding options for <BR>Maximum Listings Per Search<BR>Price Range Options<BR>Currency Symbol<BR>(+analytics)<BR>etc.<BR>All of these are in the themes option page regardless if the plugin is installed or not, but most of them only actually do something if the plugin is installed.<BR> <BR><a href="https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18824">https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18824</a><BR> <BR> </div></body>
