Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Plugin Check (PCP)
All development for this plugin is handled via GitHub any issues or pull requests should be posted there.
We strive to write a plugin in a way that minimizes false positives but if you find one, please report it in the GitHub repo. For certain false positives, such as those detected by PHPCodeSniffer, you may be able to annotate the code to ignore the specific problem for a specific line.
It's not flagging "bad" things, as such. Plugin Check is designed to be a non-perfect way to test for compliance with the Plugin Review guidelines, as well as additional plugin development best practices in accessibility, performance, security and other areas. Not all plugins must adhere to these guidelines. The purpose of the checking tool is to ensure that plugins uploaded to the central WordPress.org plugin repository meet the latest standards of WordPress plugin and will work on a wide variety of sites. Many sites use custom plugins, and that's perfectly okay. But plugins that are intended for use on many different kinds of sites by the public need to have a certain minimum level of capabilities, in order to ensure proper functioning in many different environments. The Plugin Review guidelines are created with that goal in mind. This plugin checker is not perfect, and never will be. It is only a tool to help plugin authors, or anybody else who wants to make their plugin more capable. All plugins submitted to WordPress.org are hand-reviewed by a team of experts. The automated plugin checker is meant to be a useful tool only, not an absolute system of measurement.
To be approved in the WordPress.org plugin directory, a plugin must typically pass all checks in the "Plugin repo" category. Other checks are additional and may not be required to pass. In any case, passing the checks in this tool likely helps to achieve a smooth plugin review process, but is no guarantee that a plugin will be approved in the WordPress.org plugin directory.
