Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Using exclusionary parameters, like exclude, in calls to get_posts() should be done with caution, see https://wpvip.com/documentation/performance-improvements-by-removing-usage-of-post__not_in/ for more information.
unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.
Detected usage of meta_key, possible slow query.

Detected usage of meta_value, possible slow query.

Resource version not set in call to wp_enqueue_style(). This means new versions of the style may not always be loaded due to browser caching.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Found call to wp_register_script() with external resource. Offloading scripts to your servers or any remote service is disallowed.
trigger_error() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
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.
