All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '" style=\"$navstyle\""'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
$_COOKIE[$visitor_cookie] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_COOKIE[$visitor_cookie]
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
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.
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_GET['auth_code']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Unescaped parameter $count_q used in $wpdb->get_var()\n$count_q assigned unsafely at line 689.
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found interpolated variable $clicks_table at "SELECT created_at FROM $clicks_table ORDER BY created_at LIMIT 1;"
In footer ($in_footer) is not set explicitly wp_enqueue_script; It is recommended to load scripts in the footer. Please set this value to `true` to load it in the footer, or explicitly `false` if it should be loaded in the header.
All output should be run through an escaping function (like esc_html_e() or esc_attr_e()), found '_e'.

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.
get_userdatabylogin() has been deprecated since WordPress version 3.3.0. Use get_user_by('login') instead.
user_pass_ok() has been deprecated since WordPress version 3.5.0. Use wp_authenticate() instead.
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "pl_customer_portal_page_name".
Multiple placeholders in translatable strings should be ordered. Expected "%1$d, %2$d", but got "%d, %d" in '%d Clicks / %d Uniques'.
Unescaped parameter $clicks_table used in $wpdb->get_var()\n$clicks_table assigned unsafely at line 54.
error_log() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
