Comment:
I’ve updated the patch to add the download functionality directly in the
Theme File Editor screen, based on the feedback provided.
This patch includes changes only to:
wp-admin/theme-editor.php
**What’s included:
**
- Added a secure download option for themes from the Theme File Editor.
- Proper capability checks (manage_options).
- Nonce verification for security.
- File name sanitization before download.
**Testing:
**
- Tested on a clean WordPress install.
- Verified only administrators can access the download option.
- Confirmed downloads work for both active and inactive themes.
- No PHP warnings or notices observed.
Looking forward to feedback and happy to iterate further if needed.
Thanks!
