FALKEN'S MAZE / CHECKS / THEME VERSIONS

Theme versions

What Joshua checks

Finds the theme the home page loads (and its parent theme) and checks its version against WordPress.org. With the Plugin Recon WordPress plugin, every installed theme.

Why it matters

Themes run code on every page, and outdated ones carry the same kinds of flaws as outdated plugins.

How to fix it

Update the theme. If it's a child theme, update its parent theme, and delete themes you don't use.
