[theme-reviewers] Plugin install within theme

Tue Jan 14 19:12:36 UTC 2014

The two statements left me a little baffled.

One states "and not bundled with the theme" and the other "*must* be installed from the WPORG directory".

Does this mean that the plugin can not be included in say a sub folder of the theme but has to be uploaded to WPORG first? Or by "not bundled" mean not integrated in the theme?

Also: the Plugin *must* be installed from the WPORG directory, and not from an arbitrary, external site.

thats allowed as long as the plugin is optional and not bundled with the theme.

Hello everybody!

I'm currently reviewing the Covera Lite theme - https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15917 and found that the theme suggests a plugin and also gives the user the possibility to install that plugin from the dashboard with a custom script (functions/plugin-activation.php). 

I was wondering what's the review policy on this, if there is one.

Thanks a lot guys,

Kay
