How to Enter!

Fix this broken wordpress plugin to enter into a draw for a Raspberry Pi 3 or 6 months Spotify sub.

Enter here: http://j.mp/TimeUKCodeComp

It is a sample Echo.js based lazy load plugin for WordPress with some failing tests, see if you can fix them and send us a PR to win a Raspberry Pi 3 or 6 months Spotify subscription. Don't worry if you can't get them all passing, just send us your best effort.

It is built using the WordPress coding standards, is designed to be very lite weight on system resources.

Good Luck!!!

2. Setup the tests be executing ./tests/bin/install-wp-tests.sh timeinc-wp-coding-challenge root MYSQLPASSWORD localhost 4.4.2 repalcing MYSQLPASSWORD with your root password or just type '' if you don't have one
3. Run the tests by executing phpunit
