 [https://wp-themes.com/michelle/ theme preview]. Great decision, by the
 way! :)

 displayed in WPORG theme preview**:


 Thanks for the feedback! Due to how starter content works, some things
 were handled in a custom manner and may have been skipped accidentally
 (Just as we didn't know it was an issue). I'll answer the points I can
 right now

 > 4. If I understand correctly, first sentence of a theme description
 (from theme header in `style.css`) becomes a tagline? This is usually too
 long and breaks/uglifies header display.

 That wasn't starter-content specific, but yes that's the case.
 It uses the first 30 words from the first sentence.

 30 was chosen as it's long enough that it works with both themes that
 expect a longer description, and themes that don't expect it to be set at
 all - A theme should gracefully handle a long tagline IMHO.

 > 5. Permalinks structure is honored but doesn't work in the theme
 preview. When set to `'/%postname%/'` in the theme starter content, it
 produces error 404 **for posts** in theme preview on WPORG.

 Themes should not define a permalink structure, at all, and will not be
 honoured. Please remove that from the theme..
