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.

Plugin name header in your readme is missing or invalid. Please update your readme with a valid plugin name header. Eg: "=== Example Name ==="
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Tested up to: 4.9 < 7.0. The "Tested up to" value in your plugin is not set to the current version of WordPress. This means your plugin will not show up in searches, as we require plugins to be compatible and documented as tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.
One or more tags were ignored. Please limit your plugin to 5 tags.
Incorrect Stable Tag. It's recommended not to use "Stable Tag: trunk". Your Stable Tag is meant to be the stable version of your plugin and it needs to be exactly the same with the Version in your main plugin file's header. Any mismatch can prevent users from downloading the correct plugin files from WordPress.org.
