Optimizations

Plugin configuration 93% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

Perhaps the most important file in your plugin readme.txt gets parsed in order to generate the public listing of your plugin
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Tags: Please reduce the number of tags, currently 13 tag instead of maximum 10
You can look at the official readme.txt

creame-whatsapp-me/joinchat.php 92% from 13 tests

The main PHP file in "Joinchat" ver. 5.0.15 adds more information about the plugin and also serves as the entry point for this plugin
It is important to fix the following:
  • Main file name: Even though not officially enforced, the main plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("creame-whatsapp-me.php" instead of "joinchat.php")
