 * My new theme is a child theme base on 2012.
 * Can I publish it on WordPress website please? or I am better to copy all 2012
   theme’s files to my theme folder, to make it independent.

 * WordPress.**org** does not provide any hosting, I’m not sure what you’re referring
   to.

 * Are you asking about submitting your theme to the repository? If so, yes, child
   themes are allowed. See this as to the process:

 * sorry, it’s about theme development, once I finish it, I would like to submit
   for wordpress to approve to list. It’s not to host my site.

 * Wpyogi, yes, but mind to point out in which lines. I read through it already,
   but couldn’t find any, and i check one theme, it’s independent to any other theme.

 * Sorry, I found it on the link now, missed it a couple of times. While I try to
   understand it, do appreciate more advice.
