All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
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.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "author_bio_img_size".
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$arg".
strip_tags() is discouraged. Use the more comprehensive wp_strip_all_tags() instead.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "activate_raratheme_companion".
Processing form data without nonce verification.
The $text text string should have translatable content. Found: '%1$s'
Classes declared by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "Rtc_Pro_Twitter_Feeds_Widget".
rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['category-image-id']
$_POST['category-image-id'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
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.
Detected usage of meta_key, possible slow query.
Detected usage of meta_query, possible slow query.
parse_url() is discouraged because of inconsistency in the output across PHP versions; use wp_parse_url() instead.
The parameter "'parent=0&hide_empty=0'" at position #2 of get_terms() has been deprecated since WordPress version 4.5.0. Instead do not pass the parameter.
Version parameter is not explicitly set or has been set to an equivalent of "false" for wp_register_script; This means that the WordPress core version will be used which is not recommended for plugin or theme development.
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.
Tested up to: 6.9 < 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.
