$_GET['msg'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_GET['msg']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$function'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_GET['msg']
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "WP Child Theme Generator" - contains the restricted term "wp" which cannot be used at all in your plugin name.
Resource version not set in call to wp_enqueue_script(). This means new versions of the script may not always be loaded due to browser caching.
In footer ($in_footer) is not set explicitly wp_enqueue_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.
Classes declared by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "WP_Child_Theme_Generator".
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: mkdir().
Tested up to: 6.8 < 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.
