screenshots :
in your readme.txt put
== Screenshots ==
1. A sample forum setup screen
2. Setting a user to a group
the words are used as the label
then in the root folder (the same one as readme.txt is located) put the images. These must be called
screenshot-1.jpg
screenshot-2.jpg
etc.
the .jpg is case sensitive from memory !
I had the readme text setup right but all I’ve read on the screenshot locations said to put them inside of the assets folder. I’ll update and see if I can get the screen shots fixed.
How about getting a default image then?
== Screenshots ==
1. Widget settings
2. Widget display
I have the screenshots in the top level assets folder. No dice. I’ll try moving them to the root folder which is trunk for me since it’s the first time I uploaded.
I’m not well versed on the SVN scripting and all that. It’s not clear…
totally agree, svn is not at all clear !
Let me see later where you have placed them, I had issues in the beginning too.
Not sure where you have put the screenshots, but I don’t see them : https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/tk-bbpress-stats/
They should go into the assets folder there. I normally use png, but I suppose jpg is possible too. And as Robin says: all lowercase !
Pascal.
I’ve got a header, screenshots, and icon in the assets folder. I made some minor changes to the code and readme text plus has the images in the assets folder and did this:
svn ci -m “Code cleanup and hopefully screen shots!”
The changed files made it through and the version number changed, but the files in assets did not transfer. Still not there. Also, strangely, in the screenshots tab of the plugin the plugin description is there.
Is there a way to just upload the assets folder?
Below is the structure of my local repository. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?
It’s not on the wordpress.org server for sure. You did not commit (or not correctly).
Ok. So I just updated to 1.0.1 though. The files inside of trunk updated. Can you not add photos on commits after the initial creation of the plugin?
I just put them in the root of trunk, and that seems to work fine !
I’ll make another update and put them in the trunk and see what happens.

sorry my last post in response to the previous one.
so I have my screenshots in /trunk and have given up on /assets.
Yes you can commit to a tag directory – tortoise svn puts up a warning (don’t know what other svn’s do) , and you don’t want to do that for anything that changes functionality, as otherwise some people have it and some don’t, but I do for readme.txt and no reason why you shouldn’t add a screenshot to a tag rather than release an update.
Wordpress actually recommends committing to a tag for a readme.txt when wordpress goeds up a version to say your compatible with it.
A lot of mistakes there…
– Rename README.txt to readme.txt
– You have stable tag:4.2.2, but that should be 1.0.1 (the version of your plugin)
– trunk is your dev environment, not prod !
– You don’t have your structure under tags (should have folders like 1.0.0 and 1.0.1)
– there are still no screenshots under ‘assets’
But this is standard wordpress, so please re-read 16. WordPress.org on https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/

screenshots go under /assets (top level folder), no longer under the trunk or tags like before. Check out a working structure like https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bbp-toolkit/
@casiepa thanks for trying to help. I’ve renamed README.txt to readme.txt. I DID have structure under tags. So I fixed the stable tag to 1.0.1 in readme.txt and redid the update.
The only thing that updated is readme.txt. No images uploaded to anywhere and tags did not upload either. More help/suggestions welcomed.
Here’s the current structure.
Did you checkout the empty structure before filling it ? It seems like your SVN (or other) client is not uploading correctly.
I just tried checking it out, then reuploading. It will only update php or text files that I’ve updated. Won’t upload the images.
Something wrong on the client side then… Copy all your files, delete the local folder (so also the hidden files) and do a new, empty checkout from wordpress.org
Then add your files again to the local folder and commit them.
I may have just figured it out.
It would appear that my local repository did not “know” there were files in the assets folder.
I navigated to the assets folder and entered: svn add screenshot-1.png and it showed an A and the file path. Then I did a svn ci -m ‘bla bla bla’ and it showed those files being uploaded to the wp server. Waiting for the updates to appear.
BINGO! So my local SVN repository didn’t have the files added to its database, even though I could see the files in the folder on the Mac.
Now enjoy the images and such:

Hey @tkserver,
Nice plugin you created. Do you think it would be possible to create shortcodes in the next update? My theme is so old it does not have widget areas LOL.
Thanks, cool plugin BTW.

That’s an interesting suggestion. It would not be hard but for the settings. Since the widget settings are set inside the widget itself, I’d have to redo the settings and make them part of the plugin settings.
I’ll see what I can do…
Ok @tech55541 I’ve just added a short code option! See if you can get it to work!
