Smoke tests 75% from 4 tests

Server-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | This is a short smoke test looking for server-side errors
Everything seems fine, however this is by no means an exhaustive test

  • 2× PHP files trigger server errors when accessed directly:
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function _e() in wp-content/plugins/dx-category-reports/inc/templates/admin-template.php:4
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function add_action() in wp-content/plugins/dx-category-reports/dx-category-reports.php:41

User-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | Just a short smoke test targeting errors on the browser (console and network errors and warnings)
No browser issues were found

Analyzing the main PHP file in "DX Category Reports" version 1.0
