hidden_files
Hidden files included
The plugin package contains hidden files or directories that usually should not ship in a WordPress.org release.
Why It Shows Up
Plugin Check found dotfiles, hidden folders, or operating-system metadata in the plugin ZIP.
Why It Matters
Hidden files can leak development metadata, repository configuration, local tooling state, or unexpected content.
How to Fix
- Exclude dotfiles and local metadata from the release build.
- Build release ZIPs from a clean export or packaging script.
- Keep only files required for the plugin to run, document itself, or provide distributed assets.
