Emailed Author: There are issues with your plugin code. Please read this ENTIRE email, address all listed issues, and reply to this email with your corrected code attached. It is required for you to read and reply to these emails, and failure to do so willw result in significant delays with your plugin being accepted.

## Calling images remotely

Offloading images to your own server is disallowed.

Please include all images needed for your plugin locally.

Example:

‘background_image’ => ‘http://m.local/slider/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/bg-sequence.jpg’,

Not to mention m.local won’t even work.

## Please sanitize, escape, and validate your POST calls

When you include POST/GET/REQUEST calls in your plugin, it’s important to sanitize, validate, and escape them. The goal here is to prevent a user from accidentally sending trash data through the system, as well as protecting them from potential security issues.

SANITIZE: All instances where generated content is inserted into the database, or into a file, or being otherwise processed by WordPress, the data MUST be properly sanitized for security. By sanitizing your POST data when used to make action calls or URL redirects, you will lessen the possibility of XSS vulnerabilities. You should never have a raw data inserted into the database, even by a update function, and even with a prepare() call.

VALIDATE: In addition to sanitization, you should validate all your calls. If a $ _POST call should only be a number, ensure it’s an int() before you pass it through anything. Even if you’re sanitizing or using WordPress functions to ensure things are safe, we ask you please validate for sanity’s sake. Any time you are adding data to the database, it should be the right data.

ESCAPE: Similarly, when you’re outputting data, make sure to escape it properly, so it can’t hijack admin screens. There are many esc_*() functions you can use to make sure you don’t show people the wrong data.

In all cases, using stripslashes or strip_tags is not enough. You need to use the most appropriate method associated with the type of content you’re processing. Check that a URL is a URL and don’t just be lazy and use sanitize_text please. The ultimate goal is that you should ensure that invalid and unsafe data is NEVER processed or displayed. Clean everything, check everything, escape everything, and never trust the users to always have input sane data.

Please review this document and update your code accordingly: http://codex.wordpress.org/Validating_Sanitizing_and_Escaping_User_Data

Example:

$ slider = $ _POST[‘slider’];
$ slides = $ _POST[‘slides’];

## Too Many Tags

Your plugin is using too many tags. We ask that users limit tags in their plugins to no more than 12, with some exceptions. Any time your plugin has a high number of tags, you’re seen as trying to game the system.

Remove any ‘common misspellings’ from your tag list (as they aren’t beneficial), as well as any duplicates. Duplicate words do not help your results in our search engine, as it only considers them once. As much as some people like to think, “tags” are not the same as “search terms” in our system, so including lots of them doesn’t really benefit you much.

If you’re looking to improve your search rankings, we suggest improving the parts of the readme intended for human beings to read. The short and long descriptions should be clear and useful. Addressing common problems in the “FAQ” section helps too. The entire contents of the readme file is considered for the search, and tags are really only a small part of that. Removing irrelevant pieces such as lists of languages (like links) or feature bullet points may help a lot as well, to reduce the overall length and to help eliminate irrelevant information about the plugin.

Make the readme for people, not for machines, and it will help you rank higher in the search results. People actually search for solutions to their problems, not simply for keywords.

## Phoning Home

We do not permit plugins to phone home to your own server unless they’re acting as a service.

For example, a plugin like Akismet is processing spam on their own servers, and passing the data back to the users via an API. This is a service.

On the other hand, a plugin that simply validates a license and ‘unlocks’ functionality that’s already in the plugin is not a service.

Similarly, if you have your plugin send an email or message to your own servers when the plugin is installed and/or uininstalled, this is patently nor permitted.

This is explained in more detail in our guidelines ( https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/ ) under “Serviceware”

Please remove any calls back to your own server from the plugin. Alternately, you may provide more information as to how you are providing a service. Remember. The service needs to be running from an external server.

Your’e calling http://sleekplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/sparkle-motion/wordpress/facebook-slider/route.php

Why? This is not mentioned as a requirement in your readme. And we STRONGLY discourage you from making yourself a service endpoint for Facebook. It’s a lot of work and legally problematic for some people.
