Wrap URL-returning function calls in esc_url() across templates and plugin files, and normalize call spacing and statement semicolons on the lines involved so the changed-lines linter stays clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaces get_stylesheet_directory_uri() concatenation. Query strings stay outside the call so the child-theme file lookup still matches a real file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The function returns esc_url( $url ), so its call sites were being flagged for output that is already escaped. Registering it stops nine wrapped-twice call sites rather than adding a redundant esc_url() to each. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Drops the IE 9 and older conditional markup from the Browse Happy template, along with the PNG fix script it loaded and that script's now unused asset, and marks the file as loading its assets inline. Rewrites the bb-base nav highlighting as ternaries so the current class no longer needs an inline conditional block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Covers the call sites where the URL reaches output through a variable rather than a function call, so the sniff cannot see where it came from. Each one was traced back to its assignment first; the variables that hold prebuilt anchors rather than URLs are left for a separate pass. In the showcase home template the value was already escaped when assigned, which also served as the validity check. Validation moves to esc_url_raw() so that both the link and the displayed text can be escaped where they are output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
get_target_url() appended REQUEST_URI to the target without sanitizing it, and the result was printed into an HTML comment unescaped when redirects are turned off. Sanitize the path where it is read, and escape the URL where it is printed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
These hold anchors assembled earlier rather than plain URLs, so they need wp_kses_post() rather than esc_url(). Each variable was traced back to what builds it; the notable users list on the front page turned out to hold plain URLs despite its name, and takes esc_url() instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Covers what was left after the function and variable passes: forum permalinks built into a translated link, a host component that wants esc_html() rather than esc_url(), and a core function that assembles its own escaped markup, which is registered as pre-escaped instead of being wrapped. The bounced emails script writes a terminal report rather than markup, so the escaping sniff is turned off for that file rather than escaping its output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The tag list and the breadcrumb trail escaped their URLs but not the names and titles placed next to them, so those values reached the page as written. wp_kses_post() on the assembled string kept scripts out but still let markup through; escaping each value as it goes in settles it at the source. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rounds out the earlier passes with the link functions that return a plain URL rather than markup, which the first sweep did not match on name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Browse Happy loses the .ie6 rules that were left behind when the conditional markup and the PNG fix script went away. Openverse prints the redirect target with esc_url_raw(), so the debug comment shows the URL the redirect actually uses rather than one with its ampersands entity encoded. Support Forums initialises $edit_url; the guard set an $edit_link that nothing reads, leaving the escaped variable undefined for any compat other than plugin or theme. get_edit_post_link() returns null when the viewer cannot edit that post, so its callers cast to string before escaping. get_sample_permalink_html() moves out of the ruleset and into a scoped phpcs:ignore at its one call site. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Apply late escaping in the wptv2 theme templates by wrapping the header search form action URL with `esc_url()` and sanitizing the rendered OGG link with `wp_kses_post()`. This hardens output handling and avoids printing unescaped link data in single-video sidebar metadata.
The changed-lines linter flags the initialiser once the line is touched, since Squiz.PHP.DisallowMultipleAssignments wants one assignment per line. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request applies WordPress escaping and sanitization to generated URLs, text, and HTML across multiple sites, themes, and plugins. It also removes obsolete Internet Explorer compatibility markup and CSS from Browse Happy. ChangesOutput safety and template cleanup
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR substantially expands URL and markup escaping, but two localized follow-ups remain: a translated string is emitted without sanitization, and a message embedded in audit-log HTML is not escaped. These are bounded low-severity security/correctness risks; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Sanitize the translated HTML before formatting.
printf() emits the raw __() result, so disallowed markup in a translation can reach the page. Wrap the translation in wp_kses_post() before formatting it.
