    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function add_action() in wp-content/plugins/throws-spam-away/hostbyip.php:17
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_var() on null in wp-content/plugins/throws-spam-away/throws_spam_away_comments.php:38
    • > PHP Fatal error
      Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function add_action() in wp-content/plugins/throws-spam-away/hostbyip.php:17

User-side errors Passed 1 test

🔹 Test weight: 20 | This is a shallow check for browser errors

Optimizations

Plugin configuration 90% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

It's important to format your readme.txt file correctly as it is parsed for the public listing of your plugin
Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Plugin Name: You should set the name of your plugin on the first line ( === throws-spam-away === )
The official readme.txt might help

throws-spam-away/throws_spam_away.php 85% from 13 tests

The primary PHP file in "Throws SPAM Away" version 3.5.1 is used by WordPress to initiate all plugin functionality
Please make the necessary changes and fix the following:
  • Main file name: The principal plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("throws-spam-away.php" instead of "throws_spam_away.php")
  • Description: Keep the plugin description shorter than 140 characters (currently 156 characters long)
