[theme-reviewers] Regarding feedbacks about themes

[Carla Izumi Bamford]

I've had a feedback saying that my theme has somehow broke her Wordpress.
I'm at lost, and I really can't believe since my theme is absolutely safe,
so I wanted know your opinions about this.


Here's the e-mail:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carla, I added your 'sleek black' theme to my Wordpress website and
it completely wiped not only the website, but also the login page - it
has taken me 10 days to reset the website. Please can you remove the
theme from the Wordpress gallery - it's dangerous!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and my response:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I doubt that it is caused by the Sleek Black theme.

Have you had any other themes or plugins installed?

Wordpress themes have no power to delete the Wordpress itself,
and I have almost 20,000 downloads and I never had anyone having
problem with it.

I hope you can figure out what caused the problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


her second e-mail:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have used several different themes on my wordpress site and never
had any problems. Recently I had the same problem with another theme
available in the online gallery. The last problem I had was caused by
the fact that the theme was not designed with CSS stylesheets, which
is a requirement for Wordpress.

I'm not going to test yours again, for obvious reasons, but you might
like to check that you have complied with the requirements for
Wordpress-powered sites. I would think it unlikely that this is an
isolated incidence, and it's certainly very bad advertising for you as
a designer.

Good luck!

my response to this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your concerns about the theme.

but just want you to know that,
all Wordpress themes on Wordpress.org are revised fully and
processionally reviewed by Wordpress administrators.
They have very strict guidelines on, even for small errors on a theme.

and if my themes had such critical problem it would have been stated
before even the themes in on public.  =)
and my theme is obviously approved by Wordpress which means it is
validly coded, with no problems.
Hope that helps,

sorry to hear about your problems and good luck with your website! =)

Her response to this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will contact them in that case, to let them know about the problems
your 'theme' has caused me, since you seem so sure of yourself.

You would do well not to be so arrogant, in the meantime.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm kind of upset to be honest,
since I never had anyone saying such thing about my themes. :/
I really want to know your guys opinion.
Thank you!
