#54645 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Allow numeric theme name

Reported by: alvastar's profile alvastar Owned by: spacedmonkey's profile spacedmonkey
Milestone: 6.2 Priority: normal
Severity: normal Version: 5.7
Component: Themes Keywords: has-patch has-unit-tests has-testing-info
Focuses: administration, template, multisite Cc:

Description

What steps should be taken to consistently reproduce the problem?

  • Create a theme with a numeric name or rename an existing one.
  • Activate the theme for your site.

The theme will not be displayed as active.

Also, when using the Gutenberg editor, calls to the add_theme_support function will not work.

Possibly the problem is how PHP is converting the keys of the array:

Strings containing valid decimal ints, unless the number is preceded by a + sign, will be cast to the int type. E.g. the key "8" will actually be stored under 8. On the other hand "08" will not be cast, as it isn't a valid decimal integer.

Suggested solution to the problem:

File in wp-icnludes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-themes-controller.php replace this

/**
 * Helper function to compare two themes.
 *
 * @since 5.7.0
 *
 * @param WP_Theme $theme_a First theme to compare.
 * @param WP_Theme $theme_b Second theme to compare.
 * @return bool
 */
protected function is_same_theme( $theme_a, $theme_b ) {
        return $theme_a->get_stylesheet() === $theme_b->get_stylesheet();
}

with this

/**
 * Helper function to compare two themes.
 *
 * @since 5.7.0
 *
 * @param WP_Theme $theme_a First theme to compare.
 * @param WP_Theme $theme_b Second theme to compare.
 * @return bool
 */
protected function is_same_theme( $theme_a, $theme_b ) {
        return (string)$theme_a->get_stylesheet() === (string)$theme_b->get_stylesheet();
}

  • Keywords has-patch added; needs-patch removed

Casts theme dir name to string when creating a WP_Theme object, allowing to have numerical dirnames for themes.

  • Keywords needs-patch needs-testing added; needs-unit-tests has-patch removed

To clarify: having a numerical name (in style.css) doesn't seem to create problems, while having a numerical folder name does.

The patch fixes this by making sure that we cast the theme dirname to a string when creating the WP_Theme object when assigning to the stylesheet property in the WP_Theme contructor.

To test, rename e.g. wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone to wp-content/themes/2021.

Without the patch:

  • setting the theme as "Active" doesn't result in being displayed as such in Appearance > Themes
  • editing a post in the block editor shows e.g. no section to set featured image in the sidebar

With this patch:

  • setting the theme as "Active" results in being displayed as such in Appearance > Themes
  • editing a post in the block editor shows the supported features e.g. the featured image

I'm removing the needs-unit-tests keyword since there's currently no default theme with a numerical dirname to be retrieved by a call to wp_get_themes() Unit test added after change of approach.

Replying to lopo:

I'm removing the needs-unit-tests keyword since there's currently no default theme with a numerical dirname to be retrieved by a call to wp_get_themes().

Thanks for the patch! I think this change would still benefit from unit tests to make sure the fix works as expected and there are no regressions at a later point.

Would love to, @SergeyBiryukov, but I'm not sure how it can be done without adding a theme to the default ones?
I changed the approach by moving the cast inside the WP_Theme constructor so I could add a unit test for that.

@alvastar thanks for the ticket!

This ticket was discussed during the recent bug scrub. It looks like it's unlikely that work will be done on this during the 6.2 cycle.

According to the manual test report, the ticket is operational. 

@spacedmonkey Is this still possible to land in 6.2, or should it be moved to Future Release for now?

In 55426:

Themes: Account for a numeric theme directory in WP_Theme::__construct().

This ensures that if a theme with a numeric directory name is active, it is correctly identified as such, and that theme support features work as expected.

Follow-up to [20029], [49925].
