Data Sanitization and Validation in themeforest themes

wordpress
#1

I am creating a theme for themeforest. Just wanted to ask, as in the guidelines

For input:
wp_filter_nohtml_kses()
wp_filter_kses()
wp_kses()

For output:
esc_attr()
esc_html()
esc_js()
esc_textarea()
esc_url()

  1. Can i just use sanitize_text_field() for both input and output in themeforest theme ??
  2. Can i use _e() or __() functions ??

All dynamic data must be correctly escaped for the context where it is rendered. - All dynamic data must be escaped with esc_attr() before rendered in an html attribute. - Whenever you are rendering a url to the screen its value must be passed through esc_url() first. - If dynamic data is rendered inside an attribute that triggers a JavaScript event, it must be escaped with esc_js().
