All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '" average downloads for the past month. $month_change_text"'.
Global variables defined by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "$AppleCategories".
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_FILES['audio_custom_play_button_file']['name']
$_GET['File'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_FILES['audio_custom_play_button_file']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
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.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Using cURL functions is highly discouraged. Use wp_remote_get() instead.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "IPAddressIsPublic".
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: $FeedSlug
rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "'rss2_head'.$FeedActionHook".
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.
Function "_oembed_filter_feed_content()" requires WordPress 4.4.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 3.6.0.
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '"Unknown section type: {$type}"'.
File operations should use WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. Found: fclose().
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Stylesheets must be registered/enqueued via wp_enqueue_style()
strip_tags() is discouraged. Use the more comprehensive wp_strip_all_tags() instead.
