Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$__grouped_caps".
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "alkivia_roles_translate".
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "_ak_caps2level_CB".
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.
$_COOKIE[$auth_key] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Use of heredoc syntax (<<<) is not allowed; use standard strings or inline HTML instead
Processing form data without nonce verification.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$caption_pattern'.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Classes declared by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "CME_AdminMenuNoPrivWorkaround".
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['custom_style_action']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Multiple placeholders in translatable strings should be ordered. Expected "%1$1s, %2$2s", but got "%1s, %2s" in '%1s Error: %2s PublishPress Capabilities cannot function because another copy of the plugin is active.'.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_COOKIE[$auth_key]
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.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: $backup_section['label']
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Global constants defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "CME_FILE".
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
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.
Resource version not set in call to wp_enqueue_script(). This means new versions of the script may not always be loaded due to browser caching.
Function "block_core_navigation_filter_out_empty_blocks()" requires WordPress 5.9.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 5.5.0.
