Processing form data without nonce verification.
var_export() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "ajax_query_attachments_args".
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '" <div class=\"{$messages_class}\" id=\"message\"><p>\n"'.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['query']
$_POST['query'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Classes declared by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "AC_Addon_MLA_ListScreen".
Mismatched text domain. Expected 'media-library-assistant' but got 'MLAParentCustomFieldMapping'.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$active_tab".
Unescaped parameter $current_user->ID used in $wpdb->get_results()\n$current_user->ID used without escaping.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['query']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
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'.
unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.
Detected usage of meta_value, possible slow query.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fread().
The $plural parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: $item_values['multiple_text']
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.
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
