plugin_header_invalid_domain_path
plugin header invalid domain path
The plugin file header contains missing, invalid, or inconsistent metadata.
Why It Shows Up
Plugin Check found a header value such as plugin name, license, domain path, network, Requires PHP, or Requires at least that does not match expected format.
Why It Matters
Header metadata tells WordPress and WordPress.org how to identify, load, translate, and present the plugin.
How to Fix
- Use standard WordPress plugin header fields and valid values.
- Keep header values consistent with the readme and actual plugin support policy.
- Remove unsupported or stale metadata before release.
