Required:

• Screenshot is not acceptable - please remove the text and include a clear shot of the theme once activated.

• Remove the blank index.html from the images folder as it is not part of the theme.

• Declare the theme's copyright in the following format

  Themename WordPress theme, Copyright (C) 2013 YOUR NAME or YOUR COMPANY NAME
  Themename WordPress theme is licensed under the GPL.
  

• Themes must also declare license and copyright of any resources used in constructing the theme. i.e. scripts, images and fonts in the following format:

  Resource name here - ​http://resource.url/
  License: Distributed under the terms of the License Name
  Copyright: Author, authorurl.com
  

• Theme is a derivative of the underscores theme - this fact must also be declared and the original work's copyright included in the theme's documentation.

• Remove the rss2_url and atom_url links from header.php

• wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ) must be enqueued from a function callback hooked to the wp_enaqueue_scripts() in functions.php rather than being hard coded in the document head.

• Use register_nav_menu to create menu areas that are user configurable.

• All of the following items must be called from a function callback hooked to the after_setup_theme - please revisit the original theme to see how this is done.

• load_theme_textdomain and add_theme_support

• Remove if function exists wrapper from register_sidebar which should called from a function callback hooked to the widgets_init action - again, please see underscores on how its done.

• Also remove the above wrappers from the sidebar call in sidebar.php

• sweettech_analytics_code is plugin territory and must be removed from the theme.

• comments.php: The code below is not required - please remove it

  if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
  		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
  

• Please remove the inline styling in 404.php - these should either be in the style.css or in a function callback hooked to wp_head if they can not go in the style.css

• Some translation strings are missing in functions.php

Recommended:

• Please escape the 3 instances of home_url() in header.php and the one in searchform.php plus the one in footer.php - use esc_url(home_url('/') instead.

Thank you for your review. Actually i was including timthumb in my theme but due to alot of errors while uploading i removed the script. Is there any way i can use timthumb script in my theme.

[sudeep611]

The theme is updated according to the above suggestion. Please review the theme.

Thank you.

Hello Sudeep,

Please re-upload the theme via the uploader at ​http://wordpress.org/themes/upload/ like your did before.

Regarding timthumb - unfortunately no, the use of that script on themes hosted in the repository is not allowed. In fact it is not a good idea to use it in any theme as far as I'm concerned.
