I've been looking at WordPress themes to purchase and I have found a site that has some nice looking themes and also they have some free themes so that you can check out their quality. I checked out all of their free themes with themecheck.org and they all have this: should I avoid these themes? It seems that most WordPress themes have issues according to themecheck.org.

Security breaches : Use of variable functions

Found $field_class in file options.php.
Line 284: $enqueue = new $field_class('','',$this);

Line 523: $validation = new $validate($field, $plugin_options[$field['id']], $options[$field['id']]);

Line 897: $render = new $field_class($field, $value, $this);

    That code doesn't raise any red flags here, I'd look further into functions.php to see what's set in those variables.

    ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.

    The theme seems fine to me that code should be ok. What are you worried about the theme doing?

      themecheck.org just gave it a bad rating and said that the code was a security breach.

    Doesn't look like anything that should be alarming. You can always contact the site for an explanation on the code if that would ease your worries though.
