Classes declared by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "WC_Connect_API_Client".
Mismatched text domain. Expected 'woocommerce-services' but got 'woocommerce'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "'wc_services_pointer_' . $hook".
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.
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().
$_GET['carrier'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['city']
mt_rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
Resource version not set in call to wp_enqueue_script(). This means new versions of the script may not always be loaded due to browser caching.
print_r() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
In footer ($in_footer) is not set explicitly wp_register_script; It is recommended to load scripts in the footer. Please set this value to `true` to load it in the footer, or explicitly `false` if it should be loaded in the header.
The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "WooCommerce Tax (formerly WooCommerce Shipping & Tax)" - contains the restricted term "woocommerce" which cannot be used within in your plugin name, unless your plugin name contains one of the allowed patterns: "for woocommerce", "with woocommerce", "using woocommerce", or "and woocommerce". The term must still not appear anywhere else in your name.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$hide_save_button".
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$to_country'.
parse_url() is discouraged because of inconsistency in the output across PHP versions; use wp_parse_url() 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.
Unescaped parameter $escaped_list used in $wpdb->get_results()\n$escaped_list assigned unsafely at line 375.
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Global constants defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "DONOTCACHEPAGE".
error_log() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found 'wc_esc_json'.
