1. All output should run through an escaping function before outputting.
 (You can use functions like esc_html_e(), esc_attr_e())). Example files:
   a. archive.php:55
   b. header.php:30
   c. inc/getstarted/getstart.php::14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27
   d. template-parts/footer/footer-copyright.php:6

   3. Avoid using the include for loading template files. Instead, use the
 get_template_part() function. Example file: inc/customizer.php::15, 17


  4. Add some introductory comments at the start of the files of
 functions.php, home-sections/section1.php

 5.Different version code between the files of readme.txt and languages.pot. Ensure that you have a unified version number across your theme for avoiding conflicts.
