- REQUIRED: The <title> tags can only contain a call to wp_title(). Use the wp_title filter to modify the output
Remove Every thing extra in <title>..</title> Tag just put wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ ); using PHP tags .
- RECOMMENDED: Tags: is either empty or missing in style.css header.
Some time this Error is caused because of missing tags into style please define tags or May be your style.css is edited by notepad please use Notepad++ for unix edit. Dos\Windows editor cause these kinds of warnings.
- REQUIRED:.gallery-caption css class is needed in your theme css.
It mean you have not defined style for your gallery-caption example .gallery-caption{font-size:13px; color:#f03;} put code like these code into style.css
- RECOMMENDED: Text domain problems in Myfile.php. You have not included a text domain!
Text Domain missing that means theme isn’t translation ready you need to add a Text-domain in style.css then change and update code into theme ” _e(‘This is my text’); ” change to ” _e(‘This is my text’ , ‘textdomain’); ” that’s it.
- REQUIRED: Could not find comment_form. See: comment_form
Comment form missing or using old code please update your code to default wordpress comment form read instruction from link.
- REQUIRED: get_the_author_email() found in the file myfile.php. Deprecated since version 2.8. Use get_the_author_meta(’email’) instead.
Need to update code for example if your are using “echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ’48’ ); “ change to “echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta(), ’48’ ); ” Problem will be resolved.
- REQUIRED: get_bloginfo(‘url’) was found in the file myfile.php. Use home_url() instead.
This code is outdated update with new one for example <link rel=’canonical’ href=”.get_bloginfo(‘url’).” /> change it to <link rel=’canonical’ href=”.home_url(‘url’).” />
- REQUIRED: get_bloginfo(‘template_url’) was found in the file Myfile.php. Use get_template_directory_uri() instead.
Code is outdated change same as above code example: wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’, get_bloginfo(‘template_url’).’/includes/js/jquery.min.js’, false, ‘1.4.2’); Change to wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’, get_template_directory_uri().’/includes/js/jquery.min.js’, false, ‘1.4.2’);
