Wordpress Opens up its theme directory
Last year, Wordpress decided to close off their Theme Directory. Which made it difficult for alot of designers like myself to promote our themes. Many people went their own ways listing their themes on their own sites but there wasn’t that one collection.
As Wordpress updates, it was getting harder and harder to find themes that worked well with newer features. Well Thanks to God that Wordpress has opened up the Themes Directory Again.
All of these themes will be human reviewed before being published to ensure the quality. So make sure you submit only the top notch theme. Also make sure you start submiting your themes quick before the que gets too big.
Another thing to take in account is do not put more then one link in the footer if you want to have a chance getting in the list. If you have more then one designer link, then more likely then not you won’t make it in.
But all to all the good news is that the Theme Directory is back up.
By the way if you guys haven’t noticed I have released my e-book that teaches you how to make a magazine style theme, so take a look.
Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog. This resource is to help me if I ever need a guide to look back to, and it is help my fellow webmasters.
Thats a good news.
Manual review will bring lots of good themes
Are you submitting one ?
Probably not. Most of my older ones have more then one link.
If I am a theme user, i would prefer theme with max 1 link..
and i think you should make some.
I will when I get a chance but believe it or not I have too many things going on that is keeping me busy. Custom Client Orders, Balkhis, other projects.
Nice to see it come back - there should be a one stop place to find themes that have been reviewed for quality
now we can hv themes for our wordpress with less footer links and that too manually reviewed ones at one stop
yup so whenever I find time I will make a good theme with only one link.
In the beginning, the default WordPress Theme directory has never been my favorite place to search for themes but now with an improved interface, it might have changed my mind but they need to fill it up with more themes as soon as possible.
