Hi all,

A lot of developers looking for an easy way to replace their old code to be more secure and compliance with Themeforest’s new rules using WordPress escaping and sanitizing functions.

Always you do the search using normal search (like: echo $) and you forgot about more efficient method called Regular Expression, actually RegEx is very useful in these cases.

We made a small video tutorial (Watch Now) to learn you how to find [ echo $var; ] and replace it with [ echo esc_attr($var); ] using regular expression.

Hope it’s help,

Regards,
