How do you make sure your WordPress theme is easily found, demo-ed, and downloaded from the Free WordPress Themes website? Here’s a short checklist to remember whenever you hit that “submit” button:

1. Your theme files should be inside a directory with a similar name to your theme name.
2. Add all the necessary details to describe your theme. Use the description, colors, and tag fields wisely!
3. Be sure to add a screenshot for your theme. (If you’re submitting an adult theme, make sure the images are censored!)
4. Use the correct name of your theme.
5. If your theme is dependent on several plugins, make sure they don’t break if they’re not available.
6. Avoid using encrypted code in your theme files.
7. Avoid using sponsor links in your themes.
