The main PHP script in "VA Term Latest Posts Widget" version 1.0.1 is automatically included on every request by WordPress
It is important to fix the following:
  • Main file name: Please rename the main PHP file in this plugin to the plugin slug ("va-term-latest-posts-widget.php" instead of "va-term-latest-posts.php")
  • Domain Path: The domain path folder was not found ("/langs")
  • Text Domain: Since WordPress version 4.6 the text domain is optional; if specified, it must be the same as the plugin slug
