Uninstaller [IO: ▲0.00MB] [DB: ▲0.00MB] 75% from 4 tests

🔸 Tests weight: 35 | All plugins must uninstall correctly, removing their source code and extra database tables they might have created
It is recommended to fix the following
  • This plugin did not uninstall successfully, leaving 7 options in the database
    • category_children
    • db_upgraded
    • widget_recent-posts
    • widget_theysaidso_widget
    • can_compress_scripts
    • widget_recent-comments
    • theysaidso_admin_options

Smoke tests 75% from 4 tests

Server-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | Just a short smoke test targeting errors on the server (in the Apache logs)
Even though no errors were found, this is by no means an exhaustive test

SRP 50% from 2 tests

🔹 Tests weight: 20 | The single-responsibility principle: PHP files have to remain inert when accessed directly, throwing no errors and performing no actions
Please fix the following
  • 1× GET requests to PHP files have triggered server-side errors or warnings:
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function add_action() in wp-content/plugins/my-wp-bxslider/bxslider-min.php:18

User-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | This is just a short smoke test looking for browser issues
Everything seems fine, but this is not an exhaustive test

Optimizations

Plugin configuration 90% from 29 tests

readme.txt 88% from 16 tests

The readme.txt file is an important file in your plugin as it is parsed by WordPress.org to prepare the public listing of your plugin
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Donate link: Invalid URI found ("")
  • Screenshots: These screenshots require images: #1 (How to use shortcode in editor.), #2 (Another demo.)
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

my-wp-bxslider/bxslider-min.php 92% from 13 tests

The entry point to "WP BxSlider" version 1.0 is a PHP file that has certain tags in its header comment area
You should first fix the following items:
  • Main file name: The principal plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("my-wp-bxslider.php" instead of "bxslider-min.php")
