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.
PHP file should prevent direct access. Add a check like: if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
All output should be run through an escaping function (see the Security sections in the WordPress Developer Handbooks), found '__'.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['themename']
Missing "License". Please update your readme with a valid GPLv2 (or later) compatible license.
Tested up to: 6.4 < 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_raise_memory_limit()" requires WordPress 4.6.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 3.7.0.
