[theme-reviewers] Regarding Free Themes

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

End users can run the theme-check plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-check  to check out whatever theme they have uploaded, theme-check can be used before even activating a theme.

  Just a suggestion...


  In WordPress core itself, if we add some preventive measures like:
    1.. Showing a warning on "upload" theme page about possible threats/security issues when user lands on that page 
    2.. Running security check on uploaded theme - similar to checks which run when theme-developers upload theme here
  We can think of more ways!

    Pretty good article. I tweeted about that few days back. Many or all on that top 10 list shouldn't even be there, that's why it's always good idea to download themes via WordPress :)

      Thought I would pass this along - a great article looking at the results from the first page of Google when you search for free themes: http://wpmu.org/why-you-should-never-search-for-free-wordpress-themes-in-google-or-anywhere-else/. It details which exploits are found on themes from each of those sites.
