Theme approved but not showing up

Hi there!

The theme will undergo a secondary review by an admin. That report is found: https://themes.trac.www.ads-software.com/report/24

Keep in mind that there are also several more themes that are waiting for a secondary review. If you would like to make sure that it passes the review please be sure to read the requirements. This will give you a better idea of things that are looked for when submitting a theme. The key ones being PHP/JS errors, and security, making sure you are validating and sanitizing all your user inputs and escaping the outputs. ??

Thanks Jose, I appreciate your answer, I had no idea about the second review!

I will go back and check the things you mentioned whilst i wait!

Happy to help!

Be sure to have WP_DEBUG on in your wp-config.php file so you catch some PHP errors and check your console as well. ?? It also helps if you have https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/debug-bar/ installed. Really helps!

Hi Jose, Thanks for the extra tips!

I’ve been debugging the theme and I’m trying to make an update to my code using the Mac software Versions, i was able to checkout the code from the WordPress SVN repo, there are 2 folders the theme folder and ‘1.0’ inside that contains the code (i’m sure you know what i am talking about!)

So i had already made the updates on GIHUB, so i just copied the latest version of the theme with a bunch of changes to a folder called ‘1.0.1’ and used ‘add’ and then clicked ‘commit’.

Which is when i got an error
“Commit failed (details follow): Access to ‘/!svn/me’ forbidden”

To be honest i don’t know if i am doing this in a smart way at all, I have searched all over web, but can only find guides for the plugins svn, which seems to be different to the themes svn.

Any thoughts on my process or where i am going wrong?

You re-upload from https://www.ads-software.com/themes/upload and bump the version.

Great! Thanks again for your help, much appreciated!
