WordPress.org rejected my theme? What do these requirements mean?

[ad_1]

Hey all, I created a custom theme and it got rejected, the wordpress themes team told me to fix these things, but I’m unsure about what they exactly want.

First of all, it’s important to mention that my theme passed the “Theme Check” review.

**Example Issues**

1. Manage the fallback menu in the primary menu.

**2. Keyboard Navigation**
Theme authors must provide visual keyboard focus highlighting in navigation menus and for form fields, submit buttons, and text links.
Some resources to help you: Information on the requirement
Video help for Modals, Links, Forms, Menus
Check TwentyTwenty using tab and shift+tab as an example

**3. Underline Links**
When links appear within a larger body of block-level content, they must be clearly distinguishable from surrounding content (Post content, comment content, text widgets, custom options with large blocks of texts). [https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/#3-accessibility])

1. Remove excerpt function from single page.
2. Declare image license as in below format,

1. Extras

The logo is not working on click.

1. Add escaping in all the files.
2. There is no subject tags add atleast one subject tags max 3.

# This is what I think They Mean

**Manage the fallback menu in the primary menu:**

I think they want me to create a default menu that’s always there. My theme as of now, if you don’t register a menu, the navbar will be empty.

**2. Keyboard Navigation**

I have this working but there’s probably some issues from browser to browser, I’m not exactly sure. I will give it a look again.

**3. Underline Links**

I fixed this already.

**Remove excerpt function from single page**

Already fixed.

**Declare image license as in below format.**

Will fix it soon

**The logo is not working on click**

This was working, but apparently now it’s not.

**Add escaping in all the files**

As I mentioned earlier, my theme passed the “Theme Check” review.

**There is no subject tags add atleast one subject tags max 3.**

I don’t understand what they mean by this. If you have any info it would be very helpful.
