PluginScore

PluginCheck.CodeAnalysis.ShortURL.Found

Short URL found

The plugin contains a development-only URL, short URL, or local endpoint reference.

medium weight

Why It Shows Up

Plugin Check found localhost references, short URLs, or offloaded content references that may not be appropriate in a distributed plugin.

Why It Matters

Local or opaque URLs can break for users, hide the true destination, or make repository review harder.

How to Fix

  • Remove localhost and private-network URLs before release.
  • Use full, transparent URLs for external resources.
  • Bundle required assets locally when WordPress.org expects them to ship with the plugin.
