A function call to _n() 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.
$_GET['photonic-tab'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST[$attr]
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['display_type']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Using exclusionary parameters, like exclude, in calls to get_posts() should be done with caution, see https://wpvip.com/documentation/performance-improvements-by-removing-usage-of-post__not_in/ for more information.
print_r() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
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.
Global constants defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "IFRAME_REQUEST".
mt_rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
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.
Function "utf8_encode()" requires WordPress 6.9.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 6.2.0.
