Optimizations

Plugin configuration 93% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

Perhaps the most important file in your plugin readme.txt gets parsed in order to generate the public listing of your plugin
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Tags: There are too many tags (31 tag instead of maximum 10)
The official readme.txt might help

sticky-chat-widget/index.php 92% from 13 tests

The main PHP file in "Sticky Chat Widget: Click to chat, SMS, Email, Messages, Call Button, Live Chat and Live Support Button" ver. 1.2.5 adds more information about the plugin and also serves as the entry point for this plugin
Please make the necessary changes and fix the following:
  • Main file name: Even though not officially enforced, the main plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("sticky-chat-widget.php" instead of "index.php")
