    Hi!
    I’m developing a theme based on Twenty Seventeen. I named it, for instance “Two Words”, the folder is twowords and the text domain is twowords.
    It’s just like “Twenty Seventeen” in this matter, which is in a folder named “twentyseventeen” and has the text domain “twentyseventeen”
    So, why do I get this warning?
    “WARNING: Your theme appears to be in the wrong directory for the theme name. The directory name must match the slug of the theme”
    Thank you!

    The “twenty” themes are a special case, because they were packaged with WordPress and didn’t follow the proper naming standards.

    Your slug and theme folder should be “two-words” because if you uploaded it here, that’s the slug it would get.
