A WordPress website builder recent ] The plug -in contains in my theme evaluation and selection tool library. At first, this seemed to be a good idea, but the longer I thought, the more I thought it changed.
Evaluate and select WordPress themes are not suitable for timid people. Each WordPress website builders have their own theme evaluation and selection process, which may become very complicated. We can all forgive us to rely on tools like the theme. At first glance, it seems to be an easy -to -use filter to simplify the theme selection process.
Unfortunately, things are not so simple. The theme examination has never been designed as a universal theme selection tool. Understanding the message generated by the plug -in requires a fairly advanced PHP knowledge, the corepress core, and the theme requirements of WordPress.org.
After playing with the plug -in and reading its purpose, I decided not to use the Theme Check plug -in as as a Evaluate the theme. The following is the four reasons you should do.
Theme Check plug -in can be ed from WordPress.org for free

Four reasons that should not be used by the theme checker plugin
Reason 1: You must have a theme first to use it to useIt
The following is the step required to use the theme to check the plug -in:
[ 123] Install the topic you want to evaluate. Install and activate the subject check plug -in.
Navigation to
appearance \u0026 gt; theme examination
.
From the drop -down box, select the topic you want to check, and then click
to check!
. View and explain the warnings, suggestions and information notifications generated by it.
Do you think this process is related to the theme selection? Of course I will.
You must install a theme on your website before you can use the theme check to evaluate it.
If you are considering buying a high -level theme, this means that you can buy the topic you are considering buying before checking the gloves through the theme
. It doesn’t make sense, right? If you are like me, you basically promise to use it when you invest on the high -end theme. You are no longer in the theme assessment stage. You have been transferred to the theme. Okay, okay. The theme check is not suitable for evaluating the topic you must pay, but at least you can use it to check the free WordPress.org theme, right?
Of course, why is it troublesome? Reason 2: WordPress.org theme has passed Before entering the theme directory of the theme, it must meet all WordPress.org theme requirements. In other words, you guarantee all the subjects selected from WordPress.org. You may see some suggestions but not directly warned, because the theme must be added to the directory through all inspections. What should I do if the theme is not in WordPress.org theme list? Suppose you can get a copy of the non -wordpress.org theme for free, you better skip the theme check. Why? For the third reason.
Reason 3: Advanced themes will not pass
Due to the theme examination aimed at shaping themes into the theme guide of WordPress.org, senior theme developers usually do not make any efforts to ensure it Their LordThe question will be checked through the theme. At least, this is my theory. To verify this theory, I run three advanced themes through Theme Check: Creativo, Aegaeus, and Vantage Premium.
在这三个中，只有Vantage Premium 通过了，但它应该已经通过了，因为Vantage Premium is just the unlock version of the free version of Vantage, which can be obtained from WordPress.org theme list. The other advanced themes I saw set off the banner -like flag. What does this mean? Does this mean that these themes have problems and should be avoided? Of course not . This means that developers of these themes (Rocky THEMES and HB-themes) have never intended to add their products to WordPress.org theme directory or use Theme Check for evaluation. As a result, they did not try to comply with WordPress.org theme requirements.
Running a high -level theme through Theme Check is like checking the Kelly Blue Book value of Camaro in 1969. You are using a tool to conduct an evaluation that is not designed to conduct, which will bring us to the true crux of the problem.
Reason 4: That’s not its purpose
Do not use the theme check as the theme as the topic as the theme as the theme as the theme as the theme as the theme. The best reason for choosing tools is because it is not for this purpose. What is the purpose of the theme checking plug -in? Obviously, to check the theme, but what exactly is to check? Here are some highlights: Dangerous PHP code, such as
Eval ()
function;
Hidden embedded adsense code;
DOCTYPE
,
Charset , language and other important document data declarations;
contains
wp_footer
and
wp_head and other WordPress functions. ; The task of the plug -in instead of the theme;
AlsoThere are many.
Theme Check evaluates some things that each wordpress theme should really follow -for example, avoid using EVAL () (God!) Or buried the adsense code on the theme code middle. However, the many inspections performed by the plug -in are actually to ensure that the themes in the WordPress theme list can be used together with almost all WordPress installation and almost all plug -in in the WordPress plug -in directory.
Don’t believe me. I will let the common questions and answers of the theme inspection plug -in.
Not all themes must abide by these criteria
(emphasized me) . The purpose of the inspection tool is to ensure that the theme of the central WordPress.org theme repository meets the latest standards of WordPress theme and can run on various websites. If this is not clear enough, the plug -in author SAMUEL WOOD (OTTO) The citation of the plug -in support request makes the matter very clear:
The theme examination is used to be used to submit before submission Before flight (to WordPress.org).
This is not the method of evaluating the quality of theme
(emphasized me)
.
In other words, the theme examination is a tool that can quickly identify things that will prevent adding the theme to the theme of the theme directory of WordPress.org.
When should the theme check the plug -in?
Seriously, there are a lot of theme backlogs to be reviewed on WordPress.org. You should consider joining the review team.
Don’t misunderstand what I meant. Except for the love and respect for the people who pay time to maintain the time to maintain it, I have nothing. The theme inspection does reduce the threshold of becoming a wordPress.org theme commentator, which is great. If it is used properly, it is a very useful tool, but this is the key: it must be used correctly. So when shouldWhat about the theme check? Scenario 1: You are the theme developer, and you want to add your theme to the theme directory of WordPress.org
In this case, this plug -in is really It will help you. Use it to check your job and determine the problem that the theme of the WordPress theme review team can approve your theme and add it to the problem that needs to be solved before the directory.
Scene 2: You evaluate the theme in the theme review team Add to WordPress.org theme directory
In this case, plug -in must be used. This is one of the steps you must take when evaluating the candidate theme.
These are the only scenarios I can think of using themes. The results of the theme checking plug -in must be understood in the context of the WordPress.org theme requirements.
Packing up
Theme check is a great plug -in for its expected purpose: ensure that theme satisfaction is required to add to WordPress.org. However, the theme assessment tool that uses plug -in as a theme evaluation tool from the theme of the source outside WordPress.org is the goodwill of the tool. There is no doubt that choosing WordPress theme is a tricky thing. However, it is wrong to use the theme test as the temptation of the assessment tool. By developing a thoughtful theme selection process, avoid unnecessary use of useful themes, and add unnecessary extra steps in your theme selection process.
What do you think? Should the theme check to evaluate the theme of the non -wordpress.org? Does the plug -in have any potential and valuable uses for non -developers, or is output too technical for non -developers and cannot be intelligently used intelligent?
