Optimizations

Plugin configuration 90% from 29 tests

readme.txt 88% from 16 tests

Don't ignore readme.txt as it is the file that instructs WordPress.org on how to present your plugin to the world
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Screenshots: Screenshot #1 (The Dynauthor box in the right sidebar of a post edit screen) image required
  • Plugin Name: Write the name of your plugin instead of "Plugin Name" on the first line ( === dynauthor === )
The official readme.txt might help

dynauthor/dynauthor-plugin.php 92% from 13 tests

"Dynauthor - Dynamic Author Filter" version 1.2's primary PHP file adds more information about the plugin and serves as the entry point for WordPress
The following require your attention:
  • Main file name: Name the main plugin file the same as the plugin slug ("dynauthor.php" instead of "dynauthor-plugin.php")
