VISUAL ISSUES / FUNCTIONALITY / BROWSER CHECKS

• REQUIRED: You should not be including the theme's name as the logo. It should either be a generic place-holder or the site's name.

• REQUIRED: Check the display of multi-level menus when the fallback menu is displayed.

• REQUIRED: Check your implementation of Navigation Menus. The selected menu does not display on the site.

• REQUIRED: You shouldn't be including styles within HTML tags e.g. <div style="float:right;width:660px;padding:8px;">. You should be placing these in stylesheet files.

CODE QUALITY

Theme Settings

• REQUIRED: You must prefix all options, custom functions, custom variables and custom constants with the theme-slug or an appropriate variant.

• REQUIRED: You must the use edit_theme_options capability for add_theme_page() instead of manage_options.

• REQUIRED: You must save options in a single array. You are saving multiple options.

• REQUIRED: For checkboxes and select options, you must use the checked() and selected() functions for outputting checked="checked" and selected="selected" respectively

• REQUIRED: While using the Settings API to handle your settings pages is optional, if you do not use it you must make sure that your custom settings pages includes the following:
  • Page-specific nonce declaration
  • Checking of nonces upon submission of form data (before updating to the database)
  • Sanitization/validation of data before updating options. See Data Security notes below.

Data Security

• REQUIRED: You must validate and sanitize all untrusted data before entering into the database, and to escape all untrusted data before being displayed in forms.

• REQUIRED: Use esc_attr() for text inputs and esc_html() or esc_textarea() for text areas

• REQUIRED: Custom forms i.e. the contact form must include nonces

Translation Support. See ​Translating WordPress
While support for other languages is optional, if included you are required to:

• Use the theme-slug, "redify" as the textdomain
• Make sure that all text is translatable by using the functions, __e() or __().

Inclusion of styles and scripts

• REQUIRED: Styles that are needed in specific circumstances can either be enqueued conditionally or placed in a function that hooks into wp_head

• REQUIRED: You should not be bundling jQuery with your theme package. You must make use of the jQuery version bundled with WordPress?.

• REQUIRED: Only the theme's style.css may be hard-coded in header.php. All other styles must be placed in a function that hooks into wp_enqueue_scripts or for hard-coded styles, into wp_head.

• REQUIRED: Enqueuing of scripts should not be done in header.php. Place the comment-reply script in a function that hooks into wp_enqueue_script.

Other Issues

• REQUIRED: Check the placement of the closing brace } for function the_theme_setup().

• REQUIRED: wp_link_pages( $args ) belongs in template files not in functions.php

• REQUIRED: You should use the fallback callback argument when registering navigation menus.

OTHER NOTES

• REQUIRED: Change all references to Twenty Eleven in your theme in the in-line documentation.

• REQUIRED: Check your readme.txt file. It doesn't contain any information about your theme. You must document the use of special templates and custom post types here.

you made this point "REQUIRED: You should not be including the theme's name as the logo. It should either be a generic place-holder or the site's name."

instead i have given a place for the site title. you can set whatever value you will like to display in this place just by settings a site title from the general settings options..but as suggested by you i can change this place so as to display the site name somewhat like xyz.com....
Secondly, "REQUIRED: You should not be bundling jQuery with your theme package. You must make use of the jQuery version bundled with WordPress??." you mean to say abt the jquery libray bundled with the wordpress or the library bundeled with the slider script.....?

During my testing, your theme updated the option 'blogname' to 'Redify'. You should not be changing these types of options without user permission. See functions.php

Line 415 update_option('blogname', 'Redify');
Line 416 update_option('posts_per_page','6');
Line 417 update_option('portfolio_post','8'); 

• You should not be updating the 'posts_per_page' option. Once again, you need explicit permission from the user to change this. If you want your own number of posts per page, make use of the ​pre_get_posts action
• I don't know whether 'portfolio_post' is a WordPress? option. If it isn't then it needs to belong to the theme option.

Secondly, "REQUIRED: You should not be bundling jQuery with your theme package. You must make use of the jQuery version bundled with WordPress??." you mean to say abt the jquery libray bundled with the wordpress or the library bundeled with the slider script.....?

You have two different versions of jQuery bundled with your theme: ​http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/redify/1.0/js/

As per the ​Theme Review guidelines:

Themes are required to use core-bundled scripts, if using such scripts

The reason behind this is that other core-bundled scripts and plugins may be referencing jQuery and if you override the existing version for your own, it may cause plugin or core breakage.
