PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable {$column} at \t\t\tWHERE {$column} LIKE %s\r\n
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Mismatched text domain. Expected 'ns-cloner-site-copier' but got 'ns-cloner'.
Unescaped parameter $column used in $wpdb->get_row()\n$column assigned unsafely at line 268.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fopen().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fwrite().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: is_writeable().
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.
Unescaped parameter $this->db_analytics_table used in $wpdb->get_results()
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fclose().
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: mkdir().
rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
unlink() is discouraged. Use wp_delete_file() to delete a file.
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.
Mismatched "Tested up to": 6.8 != 6.9. The "Tested up to" value in the readme file must match the "Tested up to" value in the plugin header. If the plugin header has a "Tested up to" value, it will override the readme value, which can cause confusion.
Tested up to: 6.8 < 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.
Function "wp_insert_site()" requires WordPress 5.1.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 5.0.0.
