Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]. Check that the array index exists before using it.

WARNING3
trademarked_term

The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "Contact Form 7 Multi-Step Forms" - contains the restricted term "contact-form-7" 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 "contact-form-7" elsewhere in your plugin name, such as "... for contact-form-7".

WARNING2
WordPress.NamingConventions.PrefixAllGlobals.NonPrefixedHooknameFound

Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "wh_hide_cf7_step_message".

WARNING1
PluginCheck.CodeAnalysis.DiscouragedFunctions.load_plugin_textdomainFound

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.

WARNING1
WordPress.Security.SafeRedirect.wp_redirect_wp_redirect

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.

WARNING1
missing_composer_json_file

The "/vendor" directory using composer exists, but "composer.json" file is missing.

ERROR1

Missing "License" in Plugin Header. Please update your Plugin Header with a valid GPLv2 (or later) compatible license.

ERROR1
