Plan free vs pro theme features without trapping user content.

License WordPress themes under GPL-compatible terms for directory distribution.

Support updates via WordPress.org or a commercial updater for premium themes.

Ensure themes work with WPML, Polylang, and translated menus/content.

Test themes across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop/mobile.

Declare and test the minimum WordPress version your theme supports.

Support a documented PHP version range and avoid newer syntax below your minimum.

Debug theme issues with WP_DEBUG, Query Monitor, and template troubleshooting.

Make all user-facing strings translatable with a text domain.

Sanitize incoming data and escape everything printed in templates.
