 * I was getting this warning in my logs.
 * I suspect is triggered by bots/crawlers mostly.
 * **To fix, locate;**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       else if(isset($_GET['name_directory_startswith']) && ($_GET['dir'] == $dir))
       ```
   
 * **Update to;**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       else if(isset($_GET['name_directory_startswith']) && isset($_GET['dir']) && ($_GET['dir'] == $dir))
       ```
   
 * If there a better method to submit pull requests, please call out.

 * Hi [@jibbius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jibbius/)
 * Thanks for contacting me. I will fix this and publish a new version soon along
   with some other little fixes.
 * There is no way to create a PR as WordPress uses SVN. I don’t feel like creating
   all kinds of roundtours via Git, so at this moment, this forum or my emailaddress
   is the only way.
 * Thanks again!
 * Kind regards,
 * Jeroen Peters
