Processing form data without nonce verification.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '" $arc_row->yyear"'.
$_GET[$section_param] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_GET[$section_param]
Processing form data without nonce verification.
A function call to __() with texts containing placeholders was found, but was not accompanied by a "translators:" comment on the line above to clarify the meaning of the placeholders.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: $_GET['page']
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_GET['page']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
strip_tags() is discouraged. Use the more comprehensive wp_strip_all_tags() instead.
Unescaped parameter $arc_query used in $wpdb->get_results()\n$arc_query assigned unsafely at line 827.
parse_url() is discouraged because of inconsistency in the output across PHP versions; use wp_parse_url() instead.
Found single-underscore "_()" function when double-underscore expected.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
screen_icon() has been deprecated since WordPress version 3.8.0.
load_plugin_textdomain() has been discouraged since WordPress version 4.6. When your plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, you no longer need to manually include this function call for translations under your plugin slug. WordPress will automatically load the translations for you as needed.
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable $post->ID at "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $post->ID"
get_post_to_edit() has been deprecated since WordPress version 3.5.0. Use get_post() instead.
