🔸 Tests weight: 35 | Verifying that this plugin uninstalls completely without leaving any traces
Uninstall script ran successfully

Smoke tests 75% from 4 tests

Server-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | Just a short smoke test targeting errors on the server (in the Apache logs)
Good news, no errors were detected

SRP 50% from 2 tests

🔹 Tests weight: 20 | A shallow check of the single-responsibility principle; PHP files should perform no action - including output of placeholder text - and trigger no errors when accessed directly
Please take a closer look at the following
  • 1× PHP files trigger server errors when accessed directly:
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function plugin_dir_path() in wp-content/plugins/arena-liveblog-and-chat-tool/albfre.php:131

User-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | This is a smoke test targeting browser errors/issues
Everything seems fine, but this is not an exhaustive test

Optimizations

Plugin configuration 90% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

Often overlooked, readme.txt is one of the most important files in your plugin
These attributes need to be fixed:
  • Tags: There are too many tags (12 tag instead of maximum 10)
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

arena-liveblog-and-chat-tool/albfre.php 85% from 13 tests

This is the main PHP file of "Arena.IM - Live Blogging for real-time events" version 0.2.9, providing information about the plugin in the header fields and serving as the principal entry point to the plugin's functions
You should first fix the following items:
  • Main file name: Name the main plugin file the same as the plugin slug ("arena-liveblog-and-chat-tool.php" instead of "albfre.php")
  • Text Domain: You no longer need to specify the text domain since WordPress 4.6; it must be the same as the plugin slug
