    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function add_action() in wp-content/plugins/take-the-lead/settings.php:3
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function plugin_dir_path() in wp-content/plugins/take-the-lead/takethelead.php:13

User-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | A shallow check that no browser errors were triggered

Optimizations

Plugin configuration 83% 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:
  • Contributors: No tags were detected
  • Contributors: Plugin contributors field is missing
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

take-the-lead/takethelead.php 77% from 13 tests

The primary PHP file in "Take the Lead" version 1.0 is used by WordPress to initiate all plugin functionality
You should first fix the following items:
  • Text Domain: If you choose to specify the text domain, it must be the same as the plugin slug; optional since WordPress version 4.6
  • Main file name: Name the main plugin file the same as the plugin slug ("take-the-lead.php" instead of "takethelead.php")
  • Domain Path: The domain path points to an invalid folder, "/languages" does not exist
