BlockBlockBlock is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.

Every theme that is uploaded for inclusion in the WordPress.orgWordPress.orgThe community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ repo goes through this process:
Once the review is done the review is added to the theme ticket.
If all the required items aren’t met, the theme should not be approved and left open in reviewing status for updates.
If a theme ticket has no update from the theme author for 7 days it may be closed due to inactivity.
If a theme ticket has no update from the theme reviewer within the first 48 hours after assignment, the author can request that the theme is returned to the queue.
Once a theme passes all required checks, the reviewer marks the theme as approved.
Once a theme is approved the ticket will move to a new queue where a key reviewer will do the final review.
If issues are found during the final review, the ticket will be reopened and the theme author and reviewer asked to continue the review.
When no issues are found the ticket is marked live and the theme shows up on the WordPress.org repo and all updates to it from then on are done in the update queue.
You are allowed to have only one theme in the queue at all times. You would have to wait for new submission until your existing ticket is either live or closed.
If your theme goes live before 30 days of submission then new limit will be imposed. Author can submit maximum 1 theme per month. Eg, if your theme goes live in 1 week after the submission, you would have to wait 3 weeks for new theme submission.
Above rules will not be applied in updates of themes which are already live in the directory.
There are no exact time frames for the queues. In short, the more people we have reviewing, the shorter the queues – you can find out more about becoming a reviewer here.
Allocated tickets without a response from either the theme author or reviewer within 7 days will be closed or reallocated to a new reviewer. Even if you just update to say you will be unable to take action for a few days, it’s important to keep communicating in tickets.
There are certain checks that all themes need to pass before they can be put on the WordPress.org theme repository. You can find all the required items here.
Reviewers are encouraged to add extra information. For example commenting on design recommendations. We include these as guides in this handbook only. As both are subjective, for now these are merely suggested best practices.
In some instances themes need consideration apart from the requirements. Where this is the case, one of the committers will review in addition to a reviewer. An example of this may be a licensing issue or possible cloning instance.
