 * Hiya,
 * If you read the article Steve linked you to, it specifically covers the message
   you are seeing, but in any event, here’s the explanation:
 * The problem is that you have both an Author URI and a Plugin URI field in your
   header (this is fine, you can have both), and these have the exact same link 
   in both of them, they need to be different links.
 * Author URI should be a link to your own site or an about you page or similar.
   
   The Plugin URI should be the page for the plugin, perhaps with details about 
   the plugin, instructions that fall outside of the scope of the WordPress.org 
   repository (signup for a required service for example).
 * Once these are different links, you shouldn’t see the message you are currently
   getting.

 * thanks for your help, here is my readme header:
 * === Simple DFP ===
    Plugin Name: Simple DFP Plugin URI: [http://www.termel.fr/](http://www.termel.fr/)
   Contributors: munger41 Tags: dfp, block, shortcode, template, function Requires
   at least: 4.0 Author: Termel Author URI: [http://www.diagrammes.fr/](http://www.diagrammes.fr/)
   Donate link: [http://www.maxizone.fr/?page_id=560](http://www.maxizone.fr/?page_id=560)
   Tested up to: 4.7.3 Version: 0.1 Stable tag: 0.1
 * I can’t see similar URLs here. But, if there is some cURL url check, as they 
   all point to the same IP, maybe it can cause a problem ?
    I have to say also 
   that first time i submitted my plugin i had no url at all, and the same warning
   message nevertheless. Thanks

 * Ok sorry guys, got it.
    It was talking about the php file, not the readme.txt….
   Thanks
