Can I get some love/help on why my theme was turned down? I didn't get any answers from Fingli on my last attempt to submit my theme.
http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2811
One thing I noticed is that WordPress automatically inserts comments if you don't have a comments.php file, so my first question is why is this a requirement? Wouldn't it be better to just let people to use the built-in functionality?
My second question is why I was turned down for using the field $user_url which is clearly defined here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates#Custom_Author_Information
The code is:
// If coauthors isnt installed
$curauth = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
if (trim(str_replace("http://","",$curauth->user_url))) {
the_author_link();
} else {
the_author_posts_link();
}I'm starting to suspect that WordPress doesn't want theme hobbyists like me anymore.
