Mismatched text domain. Expected 'insta-gallery' but got 'jetpack-assets'.
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.
Function "determine_locale()" requires WordPress 5.0.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 4.7.0.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$account_id".
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$args['after_title']'.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_REQUEST['accounts']
$_REQUEST['accounts'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
strip_tags() is discouraged. Use the more comprehensive wp_strip_all_tags() instead.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"Version number \"$version\" is not in a recognized format."'.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "install_plugins_nonmenu_tabs".
rename() is discouraged. Use WP_Filesystem::move() to rename a file.
unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.
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.
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.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "wp_is_serving_rest_request".
The "/vendor" directory using composer exists, but "composer.json" file is missing.
The plugin slug includes a restricted term. Your plugin slug - "insta-gallery" - contains the restricted term "insta" 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 "insta" elsewhere in your plugin slug, such as "... for insta".
