 * I would suggest a better capability check for this plugin would be [install_plugins](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#install_plugins)
   rather than manage_options. What do you think?
 * I suggest this as I run this on multisite and I don’t want ordinary site admins
   to be able to run these checks.

 * Hi [@shawfactor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawfactor/) , thank you
   for the suggestion. The best way here would be to submit an issue on the [plugin’s Github repo](https://github.com/WordPress/plugin-check/issues/new/choose),
   so the developers and other contributors can also pitch in.
