Difference With Theme Check Plugin?

Open bondansebastian opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hi there, Wordpress Theme Review Requirement encouraged theme developers run their theme through Theme Check. I'm confused whether to use Theme Sniffer or the Theme Check. What's the difference between those two ?

Theme Check runs on theme upload, while Theme Sniffer is a recommended tool that will run PHP_CodeSniffer against your theme. It's a help for theme authors and reviewers to check the themes 🙂

Theme Sniffer is newer, so it's not mentioned there yet. And the goal is to replace Theme Check on upload with Theme Sniffer. But the first plugin release was recent and it's not ready for that yet.
