Rejected after 8 Soft Rejected

Yes after over 5 months of soft rejections and on my 9 Resubmision I get Rejected .
I don’t now why reviwers don’t hard rejected the theme first time or don’t send all issues on first soft rejection ?
I lost 5 month of my life working with their soft-rejection ( yes I learned a lot) but not rejected after 8 soft rejection .
what I should do with the theme , my time , my hope now ?
please tell me I’am not the only one here :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:
YES I’am SAD !

I don’t now why reviwers don’t hard rejected the theme first time or don’t send all issues on first soft rejection ?

Possibly because there are multiple reviewers with different opinions/standards.

There are many things to improve upon

  • In dropdown menus to trigger the link you can only click on the text, not the whole item, not easy to use
  • The spacing and capitalization in post meta is off “ddy-themes ​ On ​ design & ​ ​ themes”
  • The image zoom on hover in header thumbnails could have a smooth transition
  • Widgets in sidebar have padding on the left, putting them off-center.
  • <abbr> tags have double underline, one from user agent, other from stylesheet
  • The cards in Popular Posts widgets seem too basic/unfinished
  • Titles are outputted in plain text above the header (unstyled breadcrumbs?)
  • Full width underline seems redundant for category titles, which are already in a container

what I should do with the theme , my time , my hope now ?

You could improve upon it and make it a free theme on Wordpress.org with possibly some premium features.

Definitely sucks to get rejected, but keep practicing your skills, ThemeForest isn’t going anywhere for years to come.
