Optimizations

Plugin configuration 87% from 29 tests

readme.txt 88% from 16 tests

The readme.txt file is undoubtedly the most important file in your plugin, preparing it for public listing on WordPress.org
Attributes that require attention:
  • Tested up to: Invalid version format
  • Requires at least: Invalid version format
The official readme.txt might help

buddypress-followers/loader.php 85% from 13 tests

"BuddyPress Follow" version 1.2.2's primary PHP file adds more information about the plugin and serves as the entry point for WordPress
Please take the time to fix the following:
  • Main file name: The principal plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("buddypress-followers.php" instead of "loader.php")
  • Text Domain: Since WordPress version 4.6 the text domain is optional; if specified, it must be the same as the plugin slug
