[theme-reviewers] Ticket #8055: Need help.

Gazpo Themes themes at gazpo.com
Thu Jun 7 05:26:22 UTC 2012


I am still confused, most of the recently accepted themes are using
following code. I have used exactly same but theme reviewer is not
accepting mine. What's the problem with it?

<title><?php
    global $page, $paged;
    wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
    bloginfo( 'name' );

    $site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
    if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
        echo " | $site_description";

    if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
        echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'silverorchid' ), max( $paged,
$page ) );

    ?></title>

Thanks.
Sami.
