Comment (by webmandesign):

 Hi guys,

 With my new theme in repo ([https://wordpress.org/themes/michelle/
 Michelle]) I've just noticed that a theme starter content is displayed in
 [https://wp-themes.com/michelle/ theme preview]. Great decision, by the
 way! :)

 However, I've noticed some **issues with how starter content is displayed
 in WPORG theme preview**:

 1. Page templates are not honored.

 2. Menus don't honor menu item title but gets title from pages themselves.

 3. Options are not applied (such as custom logo image, which would be
 understandable, but others don't work either).

 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.

 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.

 Here is a screenshot of the issues mentioned:

 Could you please check and fix these issues? Thank you!

 Best regards,

 Oliver


 **PS**: I went ahead and mitigated for issue 2. and 5. in my theme starter
 content with a theme update, but those issues still persist.
