Please fix the following items

    • > /wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/includes/customized_style.php
  • 4× PHP files trigger errors when accessed directly with GET requests:
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function plugin_basename() in wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/a3-lazy-load.php:24
    • > PHP Notice
