Move the position of terms description at the top of the commercial themes page

[bijayyadav]

While I was checking the terms of the commercial themes page, I was not able to figure it out at first. I had to scroll the whole page to find it.

I think, it's better to move the description to the top of the page and it will be easy to access.

See the screenshot how it looks like after moving it to the top section.

Hello @bijayyadav

Thank you for creating this ticket and a warm welcome to meta.
I was feeling something similar that some theme authors didn't follow these terms while submitting the request to add their site.

Instead of adding terms at the top, we can add a link at the top section scroll down to the detailed terms section.

Thank you

Hi @bijayyadav,

I'm assuming that it's below the content because the main use case is that users are looking for commercial themes and not looking to add theirs to the directory. Assuming that was the original intention, would it make sense to have a short callout and link to the section below the content instead of all the details?

Maybe something like:

"Looking to add your theme to this list? Read more about the requirements."

Hi @dufresnesteven

Makes sense. Something that links to the requirement list from the top would be better so that users can navigate to the list easily.

@dufresnesteven That is a perfect way to do that. It is my recommendation as well.

I think this would be clearer:

Want to see your theme in this list? View the requirements.

• "Looking to" is not commonly used in all English speaking areas.
• "Read more" is non-descriptive text.

It's worth noting, that this is not a list of themes, this is a list of theme companies.

Perhaps instead:

Want to see your company on this list? View the requirements.

This existing sentence is.. questionable though:

While our directory is full of fantastic themes, sometimes people want to use something that they know has support behind it, and don’t mind paying for that.

Are you trying to tell me that free themes don't have support? or that I'll definitely get support from these companies?

That might explain why some of the Theme support tickets have been all "I bought it, but they still refuse to talk to me"

Fixes #5977

@dufresnesteven In [11718]:
Either it should be a single string:
printf( __( 'Want to see your company on this list? <a href="%s">View the requirements</a>' ....
or, the second string shouldn't contain the HTML:
echo '<a href="#themeRequirements">' . __( 'View the requirements' ....

Personally I'd go for the first option.

Alternative direction taken in https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5977

In 11719:

Theme: Update use of printf in commercial themes.

See #5977
