No you don’t need esc_attr() function to print out fixed static text. You only need it to print out dynamic or generated text, so that if the attributes have any special characters that may break your HTML, esc_attr will escape that properly. In your particular case, you can just write: echo ‘<label><input type=”checkbox” id=”custom_header” name=”custom_header” … Read more
Actions & Filters The imho best way is to use an action to bring plugin functions into themes.

The easiest and simplest way to do it is define a unique variable in your theme’s functions.php file. Such as: <?php $theme_name_images = get_bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) . ‘/images/’; ?> No need for classes as a previous answer suggested.
