</div>The uploader (theme check) is correct. Look at the error:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
REQUIRED: add_contextual_help found in the file theme-options.php.<br>
Deprecated since version 3.3. Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab()<br>
instead.<br>
<br>
</div>add_contextual_help was deprecated in 3.3. The guidelines state (or<br>
once stated) that backward compatibility would only be supported for<br>
two major versions. Well, that's two major versions, 3.3 and 3.4.<br>
add_contextual_help is a 3.2 thing, and therefore outside the<br>
guidelines.<br>
<br>
So, no error here. If you want to change theme check to make that<br>
recommended, then you need to adjust the guidelines.<br>
