@unsalkorkmaz please note that I have edited one of your posts above. No personal remarks/attacks are allowed in this forum.

I appreciate that you want to give users as many features as possible with your theme and I understand your frustration. Having said that, the WP Theme Review Team Admin already noted which he considered plugin territory starting here https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2013-March/012183.html and more so for the TinyMCE buttons later on the thread.

I supported you in the Author URL in the same thread. While I don’t agree with the TRT Admins 100% of the time, I support them 100% in the above-mentioned plugin-territory discussion. My unsolicited suggestion is to remove the items listed above which are considered plugin territory from your theme and create a plugin specifically for the theme e.g. Firmalite Theme Booster or Firmalite Add-ons or whatever you want. Further suggest submitting a revised theme while your theme is still up in the review queue.

Firmalite is the 13th in theme review queue as I write this. We’ve cleared many of the backlogs the past week and there are reviewers doing some reviews this week. Know that all of the reviewers are volunteers and also know that way sometime ago the waiting time for a review was 3-4 months.

Thank you for your patience.

The simplest ( and imo only viable ) approach would be an app wrapper.
All it does is launch the site in a browser.
Use of a wrapper is usually done just so that an app store listing can be created.

I understand your concern;

The same addon for the editor should be offered by a plugin, activated from the theme, but not included in it. It’s all the wp strategy. one other way is to test the presence of the addon plugin, and to activate the function if available … but some other places are probably better for discussing wp development ….
On the other hand, that was pretty unfair to refuse your theme submission without waiting the modification …

It isn’t a people issue … it’s a key point to accept this dev. strategy. WordPress is a large framework, you have to accept the rules …
The current wp editor will be just a plugin too, that will be better, but that’s an other point 😉

even if … your concept is pretty good …
or perhaps should you join an existing project
working alone on a theme is always a stressful challenge …

@unsalkorkmaz thanks for submitting your theme to the WP theme repo 🙂

Great project, the Bootswatch option is pretty interesting

@shanebp I deleted the old BP Member Notes which I had to rename to get wp-admin back and uploaded the new version via wp-admin and activated it. Deactivated BuddyPress plugin and no more fatal error. BP Member Notes is still activated in plugins installed page yet no more Users > BP Member Notes as is rightly so.

P.S. I did get the issue notice from github. I was looking in my other email account 🙂

P.P.S. Do I still need to do the bug test? Never seen this before:

Plugin Name: A Bug Test
This is for mercime only.

Hi there

Prob easy once you know – but how do you delete tags?

@findly What changed between the time you posted the topic? Its was only like 11 hours between the time you posted the topic to the time you closed your site down. All I will say is don’t get discouraged. Rome was not built in a day, and neither are great buddypress sites. Most great sites get features added little by little. I am not saying to stop focusing on other things because a lot of time you have to step back from development and when you get the urge to start developing again it comes with a renewed interest and fresh ideas. Anyway good luck!

@benracicot all are encouraged to use bbPress plugin for sitewide and/or group forums see instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Ignore that, I just added an older trac version, and for some reason it doesn’t show on there either, so must be my site.

I just uploaded the latest TRAC version, but it looks like somebody forgot to add a save settings button to the components settings.

I have created a plugin for BuddyPress Members Import. You can get this from

BuddyPress Member Import/

EDIT – This is premium plugin $12.00
