Optimizations

Plugin configuration 93% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% 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 need to be fixed:
  • Plugin Name: Please replace "Plugin Name" with the name of your plugin on the first line ( === csv-2-post === )
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

csv-2-post/csv-2-post.php 92% from 13 tests

The main PHP file in "CSV 2 POST" ver. 8.3.0 adds more information about the plugin and also serves as the entry point for this plugin
The following require your attention:
  • Text Domain: Since WordPress version 4.6 the text domain is optional; if specified, it must be the same as the plugin slug
