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
Even though everything seems fine, this is not an exhaustive test

SRP 50% from 2 tests

🔹 Tests weight: 20 | A shallow check of the single-responsibility principle; PHP files should perform no action - including output of placeholder text - and trigger no errors when accessed directly
Almost there! Just fix the following items
  • 2× GET requests to PHP files trigger server-side errors or Error 500 responses:
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Class 'WP_Widget' not found in wp-content/plugins/follow-tags/includes/Admin/NFC_Widget.php:4
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Class 'WP_Widget' not found in wp-content/plugins/follow-tags/includes/Admin/NFC_Tag_Widget.php:4

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)
There were no browser issues found

Optimizations

Plugin configuration 90% 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
These attributes need your attention:
  • Screenshots: These screenshots require images: #1 (Search Follow Tags & Categories Then click Install), #2 (Set a Widget from Appearance->Widget), #3 (Final output)
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

follow-tags/follow-tags-categories.php 85% from 13 tests

"Follow Tags & Categories" version 1.0's primary PHP file adds more information about the plugin and serves as the entry point for WordPress
It is important to fix the following:
  • Main file name: The principal plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("follow-tags.php" instead of "follow-tags-categories.php")
  • Text Domain: The text domain must be the same as the plugin slug, although optional since WordPress version 4.6
