Theme status

You’ve submitted your theme, great! Here’s what happens next:

Review process

When you first submit a theme to the Astro Developer Portal, it will be reviewed by an Admin. This process can take a couple of days, so don’t be alarmed if it isn’t immediatly approved or denied.

Approval

Your theme got approved, yay!

Now, it should be live on the Astro Theme Catalog.

You can now share your theme with the world and start getting feedback from the community. Next to that, you now have access to editing the content at any time.

Denied

Your theme was denied. Here’s what you can do:

  • Check if any of the common reasons for denial apply to your theme (listed below).
  • Resubmit after carefully addressing the issues.

Reasons for denial

Some of the common reasons for denial are:

  • Missing information: Make sure you’ve filled out all the required fields.
  • Invalid or broken links: Make sure all the links in your theme are working.
  • Specific version: Linking your theme to a specific version of Astro or other technologies.
  • Personal Site: Themes should be general enough to be used by others.

Who to contact

If you have any questions about why your theme was denied, you can contact @ElianCodes via Our Discord.

If you need more help, feel free to open up a #support thread in the Astro Discord, where the community can help you out.
