The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "Divi Carousel Lite - 17+ Carousel Module" - contains the restricted term "divi" and cannot be used to begin your plugin name. We disallow the use of certain terms in ways that are abused, or potentially infringe on and/or are misleading with regards to trademarks. You may use the term "divi" elsewhere in your plugin name, such as "... for divi".
Plugin Updater detected. Detected code which may be altering WordPress update routines. Detected: _site_transient_update_plugins
Function "wp_get_update_php_url()" requires WordPress 5.1.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 5.0.0.
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.
Plugin folders are deleted when upgraded. Do not save data to the plugin folder using copy(). Detected usage of constant WP_PLUGIN_DIR. Use wp_upload_dir() to get the uploads directory path or save to the database instead.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "{$module_type}_update_check_locales".
Traits declared by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "DCS_UTILS".
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
In footer ($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.
