Does your Framework based theme validate with ThemeCheck plugin?

I am testing stuff to learn some WP basics, I am a total noob with WP coding. I installed Launch by ThemeZilla (OrmanClark). They all get “errors” and recommendations.

What’s your take on it? I mean do you do things ok for ThemeCheck or what?

Well if you submit a WP theme with errors / depreciated tags it is going to be rejected. You can ignore the reccomendations and info though

You’ll notice if the red text: errors are all fixed your file will pass validation

As above, my framework has lots of “recommendations” but it’s only the warnings you need to be wary of (which is normally unused tags).

In a perfect world we wouldn’t have any issues but it’s not a perfect world.

I use Kriesi’s lovely pagination code, so my themes throw out; REQUIRED: No post navigation has been set – that said, it’s clear to see from a quick examination that my theme has post-navigation, so for some things just make sure you’ve got it covered

                <?php if (function_exists('dekciw_pagination')) : ?>
                    <?php dekciw_pagination($pages = '', $range = 2); ?>
                <?php else : ?>
                    <?php posts_nav_link(); ?> 
                <?php endif; ?>

I usually only get a couple of “INFO” and “RECOMMENDED” notices. The only warning I ever get is WARNING: .ds_store Hidden Files or Folders found., which I delete by showing hidden files.

Thanks everybody. Still playing around. Yeeey.

Do it like this:

                <?php if (function_exists('dekciw_pagination')) : ?>
                    <?php dekciw_pagination($pages = '', $range = 2); ?>
                <?php else : ?>
                    <?php posts_nav_link(); ?> 
                <?php endif; ?>

I never though of doing this, because clearly, I’m an idiot. Thanks so much
