The $domain parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: NAV_DELETE_COMMENTS_TEXT_DOMAIN
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable $date_filter at "DELETE FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '0' AND comment_type = 'comment' $date_filter"
Unescaped parameter $date_filter used in $wpdb->get_var()\n$date_filter assigned unsafely at line 752.
$_GET['nav_export_message'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_FILES['import_file']['error']
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_FILES['import_file']['error']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
error_log() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fclose().
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fopen().
A function call to __() with texts containing placeholders was found, but was not accompanied by a "translators:" comment on the line above to clarify the meaning of the placeholders.
load_plugin_textdomain() has been discouraged since WordPress version 4.6. When your plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, you no longer need to manually include this function call for translations under your plugin slug. WordPress will automatically load the translations for you as needed.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '$csv'.
Multiple placeholders in translatable strings should be ordered. Expected "%1$s, %2$s", but got "%s, %s" in 'No comments found between %s and %s'.
Tested up to: 6.9 < 7.0. The "Tested up to" value in your plugin is not set to the current version of WordPress. This means your plugin will not show up in searches, as we require plugins to be compatible and documented as tested up to the most recent version of WordPress.
Missing "License" in Plugin Header. Please update your Plugin Header with a valid GPLv2 (or later) compatible license.
