Smoke tests 50% from 4 tests

Server-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | A smoke test targeting server-side errors
Even though no errors were found, this is by no means an exhaustive test

SRP 0% 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 fix the following
  • 2× PHP files output text when accessed directly:
    • > /wp-content/plugins/because/public/views/public.php
    • > /wp-content/plugins/because/admin/includes/download.php
  • 4× GET requests to PHP files have triggered server-side errors or warnings:
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function add_action() in wp-content/plugins/because/public/includes/class-sp_comments.php:21
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function post_password_required() in wp-content/plugins/because/public/includes/templates/sp_comments.php:16
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function is_admin() in wp-content/plugins/because/admin/includes/voting_box.php:10
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function esc_html() in wp-content/plugins/because/admin/views/admin.php:17

User-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | This is just a short smoke test looking for browser issues
Everything seems fine, but this is not an exhaustive test

Optimizations

Plugin configuration 87% from 29 tests

readme.txt 88% from 16 tests

Don't ignore readme.txt as it is the file that instructs WordPress.org on how to present your plugin to the world
These attributes need to be fixed:
  • Tags: Too many tags (13 tag instead of maximum 10); only the first 5 tags are used in your directory listing
  • Donate link: Please fix this invalid URI: ""
Please take inspiration from this readme.txt

because/social-polling.php 85% from 13 tests

Analyzing the main PHP file in "Conva Comment System (Beta)" version 1.6
The following require your attention:
  • Text Domain: The text domain must be the same as the plugin slug, although optional since WordPress version 4.6
  • Main file name: It is recommended to name the main PHP file as the plugin slug ("because.php" instead of "social-polling.php")
