All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$css'.

WARNING10

Resource version not set in call to wp_register_script(). This means new versions of the script may not always be loaded due to browser caching.

WARNING8

error_log() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.

ERROR8
missing_direct_file_access_protection

PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;

WARNING4

Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['recaptcha_response']. Check that the array index exists before using it.

Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().

ERROR3
WordPress.DateTime.RestrictedFunctions.date_date

date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.

WARNING3
WordPress.Security.SafeRedirect.wp_redirect_wp_redirect

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.

ERROR3
WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.unlink_unlink

unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.

ERROR3
WordPress.WP.I18n.UnorderedPlaceholdersText

All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"Unknown label key: $key"'.

ERROR2
WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.parse_url_parse_url

parse_url() is discouraged because of inconsistency in the output across PHP versions; use wp_parse_url() instead.

ERROR2
WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.strip_tags_strip_tags

strip_tags() is discouraged. Use the more comprehensive wp_strip_all_tags() instead.

WARNING2
WordPressVIPMinimum.Performance.WPQueryParams.PostNotIn_post__not_in

Using exclusionary parameters, like post__not_in, 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.
