All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '" #wpfront-notification-bar-spacer$id_suffix { display:block; }"'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_GET['id']
$_GET['id'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$blog_ids".
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.
The $domain parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: $this->controller->get_lang_domain()
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: $button_text
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.
The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "WPFront Notification Bar" - contains the restricted term "wp" which cannot be used at all in your plugin name.
Function "is_taxonomy_viewable()" requires WordPress 5.1.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 5.0.0.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "wpml_register_single_string".
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['wpfront-notification-bar-options']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Found call to wp_enqueue_style() with external resource. Offloading styles to your servers or any remote service is disallowed.
Sanitization missing for register_setting().
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
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.
One or more tags were ignored. Please limit your plugin to 5 tags.
