New Theme and Plugin Directories<\/h2>\n

Since WordPress 3.8, you\u2019ve been enjoying improved theme management in your WordPress admin, and in WordPress 4.0 plugin management was refined. We\u2019ve brought these experiences from your admin and re-created them right here on WordPress.org.<\/p>\n

Theme Directory<\/h3>\n

The Theme Directory<\/a> has a better browsing experience, with handy tabs where you can view featured, popular, and the latest themes. As with the theme experience in your admin, you can use the feature filter to browse for just the right theme for your WordPress website.<\/p>\n
