wp_kses_one_attr() WordPress Function
The wp_kses_one_attr() function is used to sanitize a single HTML attribute. It takes two arguments: an attribute name and a string containing the attribute value. The function performs the following actions: - Checks that the attribute name is a valid HTML attribute. - Strips any invalid characters from the attribute value. - Checks that the attribute value is a valid URL if the attribute name is "href" or "src". - Returns a sanitized attribute value. This function is used to ensure that user-supplied data is safe to use in a Wordpress site. It is called by the wp_kses() function, which sanitizes an entire HTML string.
wp_kses_one_attr( string $string, string $element ) #
Filters one HTML attribute and ensures its value is allowed.
Description

Parameters
- $string
- (string)(Required)The 'whole' attribute, including name and value. 
- $element
- (string)(Required)The HTML element name to which the attribute belongs. 
Return
(string) Filtered attribute.
