Short PHP opening tag used with echo; expected "<?php echo $robotsUrl ..." but found "<?= $robotsUrl ..."
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$robotsUrl'.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
rename() is discouraged. Use WP_Filesystem::move() to rename a file.
