Hi, I see these issues with the theme.

• You have hidden files in your theme. Please remove the hidden files and reupload.
• Author / Theme URL cannot be a subdomain. I would recommend your own domain.

Thanks.

Suggestion: not-approved

Hi! About the subdomain issue:

• I have a theme and some plugins with the same author URL.
• I couldn't find the reference entry that tell us to not set the theme author with a subdomain URL. I would appreciate some help to find it, and perhaps an explanation of this requirement.
• I don't think there's something I can actually do about it apart from some redirecting stuff, as I've been maintaining soylocoporti.org.br multisite and this blog for some years.

Thanks.

Your main domain is something to do with Latin American rights as far as I can see from translation. This is really nothing to do with WordPress?. You should have a separate domain for a site with different content for WordPress? related stuff. Sub domains aren't recommended. ​http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Credit_Links

Determination of appropriateness of AuthorURI and ThemeURI 
is at the sole, and final, discretion of the Theme Review Team. 
For AuthorURI, emphasis is on the personal nature of the site. 
For ThemeURI, a mere demo site is insufficient; the URI must include 
content predominately related to the Theme.

Putting aside the political discussion that strongly relates free software and Latin America -- not to mention the ​WordPress importance in developing countries, Soylocoporti is a free network of blogs using WordPress? since its first MU version. We have bloggers that write about photography, political rights, genre issues and technology -- as me -- taking Latin America as a main scope. The project also carries some credits of the first WordPress? and BuddyPress? official pt_BR translations.

As the project developer, the subdomain in question is my blog with my personal projects and tech stuff, most of them in English and ​related to WordPress. I've been using it for some years and for this purpose.

The main domain reflects the way we choose to use WordPress?, and it's far from the context of using links to promote a commercial end. The ​currently offered theme URL is like a ​previous one, and is exclusively related to the theme in question. The subdomain is a native WordPress? multisite feature.

I'm honestly failing to see how these links do not align with the credit links guidelines.

Ok, ignore the URIs. I conferred with other reviewers and they suggested they are ok. Thanks for uploading.
