    • > PHP Fatal error

It is important to fix the following:
  • Main file name: Please rename the main PHP file in this plugin to the plugin slug ("a2-optimized-wp.php" instead of "a2-optimized.php")
  • Text Domain: Since WordPress version 4.6 the text domain is optional; if specified, it must be the same as the plugin slug
