Optimizations

Plugin configuration 86% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

The readme.txt file is important because it is parsed by WordPress.org for the public listing of your plugin
Please fix the following attributes:
  • Tags: Please delete some tags, you are using 13 tag instead of maximum 10
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

advanced-post-widget/kindy_widget.php 77% from 13 tests

The principal PHP file in "Advanced Post Widget" v. 1.0 is loaded by WordPress automatically on each request
Please make the necessary changes and fix the following:
  • Main file name: It is recommended to name the main PHP file as the plugin slug ("advanced-post-widget.php" instead of "kindy_widget.php")
  • Text Domain: If you choose to specify the text domain, it must be the same as the plugin slug; optional since WordPress version 4.6
  • Domain Path: The domain path is invalid: folder "/languages" does not exist
