Plugin configuration 87% from 29 tests

readme.txt 88% from 16 tests

Often overlooked, readme.txt is one of the most important files in your plugin
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Screenshots: These screenshots have no corresponding images in /assets: #1 (screenshot 1), #2 (screenshot 2), #3 (screenshot 3), #4 (screenshot 4), #5 (screenshot 5), #6 (screenshot 6), #7 (screenshot 7)
  • Tags: You are using too many tags: 51 tag instead of maximum 10
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration
