Mismatched text domain. Expected 'search-exclude' but got 'jetpack-assets'.
Function "determine_locale()" requires WordPress 5.0.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 4.7.0.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "install_plugins_nonmenu_tabs".
Processing form data without nonce verification.
A function call to _n() 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.
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.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$has_block_tags".
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['sep']
$_POST['sep'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
strip_tags() is discouraged. Use the more comprehensive wp_strip_all_tags() instead.
load_plugin_textdomain() has been discouraged since WordPress version 4.6. When your plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, you no longer need to manually include this function call for translations under your plugin slug. WordPress will automatically load the translations for you as needed.
Short URL detected (bit.ly). Use full URLs instead of URL shorteners.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"Version number \"$version\" is not in a recognized format."'.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_REQUEST['post_type']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
The "/vendor" directory using composer exists, but "composer.json" file is missing.
