BuddyPress.org

Got a back and forth convo of reviewers that’s quit comical. They did approve. I think BuddyPress should be an exception but at the same time must use all BuddyPress functions / components and of course pass WordPress theme scan.

The child theme they are questioning is just a CSS file one page template and a funtions file. That should pass 100% but they scan it and it fails 99% because they are scanning against WordPress not BuddyPress

How big is BP? Should it have it’s on theme section in the repo or will the requirement be that it will work as WP theme when BP is switched off? Do we as a community need our own site for free BP child themes? These questions and many more when we come back from this commercial break.
