    • > /wp-content/plugins/pverify/includes/view/shortcodes/eligibility_widget.php
    • > /wp-content/plugins/pverify/includes/pVerify_Main.php
    • > /wp-content/plugins/pverify/includes/view/shortcodes/estimate_widget.php
  • 2× GET requests to PHP files trigger server-side errors or Error 500 responses:
    • > PHP Notice
      Undefined variable: err_msg in wp-content/plugins/pverify/includes/view/shortcodes/estimate_widget.php on line 9
    • > PHP Notice

Plugin configuration 90% from 29 tests

These attributes need your attention:
  • Donate link: Please fix this invalid URI: "later"
  • License uri: Please fix this invalid URI: "later"
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

pverify/pVerify.php 92% from 13 tests

The main PHP script in "pVerify" version 0.1 is automatically included on every request by WordPress
Please take the time to fix the following:
  • Main file name: Please rename the main PHP file in this plugin to the plugin slug ("pverify.php" instead of "pVerify.php")
