• Theme Check: Good
• Coding: Good
• Theme Unit Test:

• A post with an exceptionally long title and single word (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious exceeds the content area and this could be something that you may fix in the future, however there are more than one link in footer area and this prevents me to approve the Theme this time. However since there is nothing else I could find, I will keep this ticket open for couple of days giving you an opportunity to correct your ​Credit Links and once this is done, please re-upload newer version and that's all. New version will be approved and this ticket closed.

Sounds good?

Inspired by the work of SAUL BASS, ART GOODMAN, and DAVE NAGATA. Hitchcock typeface by MATT TERICH.

Additional info:

• Themes may optionally include a public-facing credit link in the Theme footer.
• If used, Themes are required to include no more than one such footer credit link.
• Credit link, if used, is required to use either Theme URI or Author URI.

Please let me know if credit links will be handled and how soon?

Thanks!

No response from the author for 2 weeks, closing as not-approved. Also please try to match your screenshot with an actual thumbnail of your design. I tried to keep the ticket open as long as I could, just so that your work is approved as soon as possible.

Re: request for credit link exception

I don't see a compelling need to grant an exception here. The additional credit links really do not add to the end user experience. The appropriate place for such links is in the inline documentation, such as style.css, functions.php, readme.txt or somewhere similar.

Agreed and just imagine what would this create among other author's even if we do grant.
