Avoid access to theme files directly

[kaushikasomaiya]

Currently accessing theme files like index.php via direct URL results into fatal error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sites/wp-8831821/wp-content/themes/storefront/index.php

This should be silent like other themes (Ex: 2022)

Could you share a specific use-case so that I can replicate it in my environment? Thanks!

@gigitux You can install Storefront, and try to access the following URL in your browser: yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/storefront/index.php

I don't see any issues with this though, which is why I filed as an enhancement request.

Thanks! I'm able to reproduce it!

Thanks for the clarification. Since that Storefront is in maintenance mode, at least for now, we will not work on this issue.
