Steve Truman Just a follow up on this post and I am not complaining – just stating our experience. The last thing I want is to upset the review team and get pushed back in the theme review que. 12 months on for when this post was published – if the theme review system was considered broken because theme authors where waiting 2 months for the review process – what would you call it now where the wait is 5-6 months for the first review? We submitted our Theme Responsi 5 months ago and are still waiting for a reviewer to be appointed (I know they are not appointed – but rather pick a theme to review). At the time we submitted it was number 860 in the review que. Over the last 5 months it has now progressed to number 96 in the que. There are currently 3 themes being reviewed of the 95 theme that are ahead of ours in the que – so that means there are still 92 to be reviewed before ours. When we submitted the theme the WordPress version was 4.5.1 – it is now 4.6.1 with 4.7 due out in November – my guess is that it will be released before the theme is reviewed and approved for release. We where told on the slack theme review channel to expect a 4-6 month wait for the first review so it is not as if anything has changed in the last 5 months. Has anything been done to ‘fix’ the long wait for a theme review that you raise in this post? Again in your post you said some themes where waiting 2 months or more for a full review (oh I wish). Now 12 months on it is 5 to 6 months for a reviewer to even look at the theme for the first time. That would suggest that the situation is getting far worse instead of improving.
