Plugin Check (PCP)

The plugin review started with false positives and was not accurate.

Useful tool for catching issues early. If you’re serious about plugin development, this is a must-have.

Great tool to help finding issues with your plugin. The only thing I would like to see as a button that allows you to ignore certain messages, or mark them as fixed. So if you re-scan, it is easier to see, what still needs to be done. Also helpful would be a better indicator how serious a issue is. I know there are Errors and Warnings, but maybe with a score? And “Error” in red and “Warning” in orange for better accessibility.

This plugin helped me identify areas of my plugin that I thought I had taken care of. When developing my first plugin. I learned a lot through the feedback given and was able to re-run and eventually remove of all errors.

On a side note, what I did discover was that a lot of the warnings were general and some were not really applicable to my plugin. It took time and research to work this out so don’t freak out if you get a heap of feedback from the plugin. Try to filter down to the errors, get them sorted and then move onto the warnings and fix what you can where applicable.

Cheers.

By it’s nature this is going to flag false positives – potential issues that you’ve dealt with in different ways, or issues that don’t necessarily apply to your particular case – and it does. But it’s a really useful tool to run a quick check and uncover little omissions or improvements to be made.
