Optimizations

Plugin configuration 90% from 29 tests

These attributes need your attention:
  • Tags: Too many tags (11 tag instead of maximum 10); only the first 5 tags are used in your directory listing
The official readme.txt might help

The primary PHP file in "Widgets on Pages and Posts" version 1.4.0 is used by WordPress to initiate all plugin functionality
It is important to fix the following:
  • 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 ("widgets-on-pages-and-posts.php" instead of "widgets_on_pages.php")
