The "Short Description" section is too long and was truncated. A maximum of 150 characters is supported.
The "Text Domain" header in the plugin file does not match the slug. Found "chimpmatic-lite", expected "contact-form-7-mailchimp-extension".
The plugin slug includes a restricted term. Your plugin slug - "contact-form-7-mailchimp-extension" - contains the restricted term "contact-form-7" and cannot be used to begin your plugin slug. We disallow the use of certain terms in ways that are abused, or potentially infringe on and/or are misleading with regards to trademarks. You may use the term "contact-form-7" elsewhere in your plugin slug, such as "... for contact-form-7".
