All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"<dd>{$meta_value}</dd>"'.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$_overview".
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
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.
Using exclusionary parameters, like exclude, in calls to get_posts() should be done with caution, see https://wpvip.com/documentation/performance-improvements-by-removing-usage-of-post__not_in/ for more information.
Multiple placeholders in translatable strings should be ordered. Expected "%1$s, %2$s", but got "%s, %s" in 'Enable it to display %s like button%s on gride template blog. Please note WP Ulike plugin needs to be activaited to use this option.'.
$_GET['post_types'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Detected usage of tax_query, possible slow query.
wp_reset_query() is discouraged. Use wp_reset_postdata() instead.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['args']
query_posts() is discouraged. Use WP_Query instead.
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: esc_attr( $next_label )
load_plugin_textdomain() has been discouraged since WordPress version 4.6. When your plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, you no longer need to manually include this function call for translations under your plugin slug. WordPress will automatically load the translations for you as needed.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Detected usage of meta_key, possible slow query.
Detected usage of meta_query, possible slow query.
Global constants defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "THEME_NAME".

All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_GET['post_types']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
