WordPress Theme Options may soon turn good-for-nothing

When WordPress Theme options first came into existence, it was a thing of great pride and happiness for most of the WordPress users because it enables the WordPress users to change the Theme Settings and that too, without touching any CSS files or theme files. Even, there is no need of coding when you have Theme Options in hand. For instance, the default theme of WordPress, that is Twenty Twelve, does not have a Theme Options menu, instead it uses the Theme Customizer option for WordPress theme customization, where in the users can live preview the changes made in the website before finalizing the changes. This is a great feature for WordPress Theme Customization. This is indeed, a very helpful feature because it allows WordPress users to not risk the whole website and view what the website will look like after the changes are finalized. This is a holy grail for WordPress beginners or if ever, you would like to experiment with the theme modification for background colors, image placement etc. Theme Options have options to modify the theme in these ways- 1. Layout 2. General 3. Fonts 4. Header 5. Sidebar 6. Comments 7. Footer 8. Pagination 9. Social Other options are Advanced and Analytics. All the options in the Theme Options Menu are shown below in the image: But, what is a thing of great surprise is that the Theme Options menu is losing it’s sheen and significance because of the very powerful and efficient Theme Customizer in

WordPress states that WordPress core is not directly vulnerable to this security issue but we have added more hardening to prevent plugins and themes from causing a vulnerability. Although WordPress has a solid security operation but the large number of third party plugins and themes which offers many benefits to WordPress also add the vulnerability.
