$_COOKIE['mtsnb_referrer'] not unslashed before sanitization. Use wp_unslash() or similar
Function "esc_textarea()" requires WordPress 3.1.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 3.0.1.
Detected usage of a non-sanitized input variable: $_POST['form_data']
Hook names invoked by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "after_mtsnb_content".
Detected usage of a possibly undefined superglobal array index: $_POST['form_data']. Check that the array index exists before using it.
Functions declared in the global namespace by a theme/plugin should start with the theme/plugin prefix. Found: "activate_mts_notification_bar_f".
The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "WP Notification Bars" - contains the restricted term "wp" which cannot be used at all in your plugin name.
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.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Tested up to: 5.9 < 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.
Missing "License" in Plugin Header. Please update your Plugin Header with a valid GPLv2 (or later) compatible license.
One or more tags were ignored. Please limit your plugin to 5 tags.
