WordPress.org Plugin Review Team's automated pre-review on 2026-06-03 flagged two metadata-only issues: 1. Ownership verification — ir240474@gmail.com cannot be linked to the "RangerHQ" brand by their automated checks (gmail accounts can be registered by anyone, so they need domain-matched or DNS-verified proof). 2. Plugin URI returning 404 + Author URI failing DNS resolution (icanhelp.ie/radio was never a real page; rangersmyth.xyz does not resolve). Both fixed in this release. Zero code changes; metadata only. Changes: * Plugin URI: icanhelp.ie/radio → davidtkeane.com/rangerhq-radio (real live landing page hosted at the author's canonical brand domain) * Author URI: rangersmyth.xyz → davidtkeane.com * Version bump 0.7.5 → 0.7.6 across radio.php header, RADIO_VERSION constant, readme.txt Stable tag, about.php latest slot * CHANGELOG.md + readme.txt + about.php updated Ownership verification (domain-side, not in plugin code): * DNS TXT record `wordpressorg-ir240474-verification` added at davidtkeane.com root (Cloudflare). Verified live across multiple public DNS resolvers. * wp.org account email changed from gmail to david@davidtkeane.com — domain-matched second proof. User state (radio_state / radio_history / radio_favourites) is preserved unchanged across the upgrade because none of these edits touch storage or scoring logic.
