Hosting your theme at WordPress.org
Now that your theme is ready for prime time, give it plenty of attention by
uploading it to the WordPress.org
Theme Directory. By hosting it here you'll get:
- Stats on how many times your theme has been downloaded
- User feed back in the forums
- Ratings, to see how your theme is doing compared to others
In the future we'll provide an API to check for theme updates,
similar to how the plugin update check works.
Requirements
In order to be added to the directory each theme must meet the following
requirements:
- A single zip file, with all of the files themes file included.
