Rename Theme (cannot use "wp") #28

Closed devinsays closed 10 years ago

devinsays commented 10 years ago

The WordPress.org theme review guidelines state that themes cannot use "wp" in their name: http://make.wordpress.org/themes/guidelines/guidelines-license-theme-name-credit-links-up-sell-themes/

We could change the name of the theme from "GovFresh WP" to "GovFresh". Alternatively, we could come up with an entirely new naming convention. This might good, especially if different themes get released in the future. "GovFresh Standard" for instance.

It would also be good to rename the project in GitHub, since we are at a fairly early stage.

To make the update the stylesheet, textdomain, and all prefixes would need to be changed.

What about 'GovFresh Starter?'

devinsays commented 10 years ago

What is the thought behind "starter"? That whoever uses it will modify and adapt the code?

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

Playing off 'Standard' more than anything. What about 'GovFresh GovPress?'

devinsays commented 10 years ago

I like both "GovFresh" and "GovPress", but as a single name not combined.

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

From a branding perspective, seems like people would confuse 'GovFresh' as being just a theme (Am I overthinking?). 'GovPress' on its own could be a potential copyright issue.

devinsays commented 10 years ago

No, I agree it would make sense to keep the brand and theme separate.

GovPress would not be an issue for WordPress.org. I have a theme called Portfolio Press. GovPress also comes up clear on US Trademark search.

What's your gut?

Let's keep spitballing. Here's a couple more thoughts:

More abstract:

But I think GovPress does work. It also ties it to the GovFresh brand.

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

I'm leaning 'GovPress' brand for these reasons:

Sounds good to me. Name change has been committed: https://github.com/govfresh/govfreshwp/commit/3f1fcead47a3edb5181f3e21678f822c5a9e81d8

Repository has been renamed: https://github.com/govfresh/govpress

Redirects to this new url appear to be working correctly.

You'll likely need to do a fresh pull from this new repo url in order to get the latest.
