Directory submission form

[IntentionWebDesign]

Hi - I’m trying to submit a theme for approval and hitting an error message.

Expected behaviour

Enter details of theme and Github zip file URL in same format as the example given, press submit and it successfully submits

Current behaviour

Error message on submit “The base folder name (used to determine the slug) can contain just letters, numbers, underscores or dashes.”

Possible solution

A more useful error message would help us correct any issues

Steps to reproduce

Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce
this bug. Include code to reproduce, if relevant.

1. Log in to directory site
2. Go to Software Submission Form | Directory
3. Enter details of theme
4. Press submit
5. Receive error message

Context

I can’t see a way past the error as all fields are filled in, zip URL is same format as the example. Wiping the form fields on error is frustrating too as I have to retype everything each time.

Related - the ‘plugin doctor’ site linked to on the form page is broken. Is that still needed if we check against WPCS/CPCS?

Happy to help troubleshoot if that will help

Thanks,
Nick

Please can you tell me the Github zip file URL?

Hi Simone,
It’s https://github.com/byintention/archetype-for-classicpress/releases/download/v1.0.0/archetype-for-classicpress.zip

That reminds me, the workflow action failed with a path error. Will run it again and send the errors.
Thanks,
Nick

I can see the problems.

One is that the attached ZIP file contains a ZIP file that contains the theme.

The action is failing because in the repo settings, in the Actions - General screen, you should have " Workflow permissions" → “Read and write permissions”

Amazing, thank you. Release has the zip attached now and submission was successful
