Optimizations

Plugin configuration 93% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

You should put a lot of thought into formatting readme.txt as it is used by WordPress.org to prepare the public listing of your plugin
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Plugin Name: Please replace "Plugin Name" with the name of your plugin on the first line ( === direct-link === )
You can take inspiration from this readme.txt

direct-link/directlink.php 92% from 13 tests

The main PHP file in "Direct link" ver. 0.1 adds more information about the plugin and also serves as the entry point for this plugin
Please take the time to fix the following:
  • Main file name: Even though not officially enforced, the main plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("direct-link.php" instead of "directlink.php")
