File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: mkdir().
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.
Simple placeholders should not be quoted in the query string in $wpdb->prepare(). Found: "%s".
