readme_reserved_contributors
readme reserved contributors
The plugin readme contains metadata or formatting that WordPress.org may not parse as intended.
Why It Shows Up
Plugin Check found readme headers, sections, tags, contributors, language, or formatting that do not match repository expectations.
Why It Matters
The readme powers the WordPress.org plugin page. Parser issues can hide important metadata, show stale compatibility, or reduce discoverability.
How to Fix
- Use standard readme headers and section names.
- Keep short descriptions, tags, contributors, Requires at least, Requires PHP, Tested up to, and Stable tag valid and current.
- Run the readme through Plugin Check again after editing.
