[Somewhat Resolved] Assets/Readmes not showing properly on Plugin Pages

1624 UTC – Tue 19 April

This is MOSTLY resolved, but basically we’re going to be facing sync issues for a while until someone sorts out why they’re getting so behind. The best thing to do here is to WAIT and not push anything. The more you push, the longer the queue gets and slower it gets :/

1541 UTC – Wed 13 April

We are aware of an issue where your assets (banners etc) and readme information isn’t loading properly, and we are looking into it.

Please DO NOT push your code multiple times! It’s like ringing a doorbell over and over. It doesn’t actually make things work better 😉

As a general reminder, though, please try to keep your readme to under 10k. You can shuffle your changelog off to a separate file (chaneglog.txt) to keep things smaller. After all, no one really reads the 1.x version of your changelog from 6 years ago.

In addition, if your pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party is very large, it’s okay to remove old versions from SVNSVN Short for "SubVersioN", it's the code management system used to maintain the plugins hosted on WordPress.org. It's similar to git.. That will ensure processing and syncing is faster 🙂

We will update this post with any information as we determine exactly what’s wrong.

Update 1: One of the servers is running behind again. So please just be patient. Go for a run. Dance. Sing. It’ll catch up 🙂

Update 2: Still running slow. There are moments where this will work fine, and then it will drag. Sorry.

“You can shuffle your changelog off to a separate file (chaneglog.txt – sic) to keep things smaller.”

I’d not heard of this before. I’ve Googled to learn more. Should you move your entire changelog? Or just the old stuff? i.e. Does the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party directory parser parse this file and you put everything in it? Or is it just a way to shunt off the old stuff?

Thanks for the update Mika. BTW what can we do to move everything at GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/. We did a successful transition from IRC to SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. and everybody knows how necessary it was.

Can Matt have some kind of a similar deal with GitHub? We are one of the biggest open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. platforms I am sure GitHub would be looking forward to help with the conversion.

  GitGit Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. Most modern plugin and theme development is being done with this version control system. https://git-scm.com/. will not help in the slightest. We’re literally talking about data syncing across the multiple servers to display your content. Adding in ANOTHER bottleneck will not help.

Yeah, githubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

Any news with the images? Thanks!

  It’s still syncing. I suspect it’s related to the updates (since at it’s base it all runs on the same network), but that’s me speculating.

The fact that there is no version information on the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party page and that the plugin is not appearing in search is related to this issue, right?

  Yes. I ran into this issue with my pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. The wp.org team fixed it for me, but I was told that pushing a commit (of any sort) would’ve fixed it.

Is syncing still an issue at the svn repo?
/assets uploaded to a pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

  Syncing is ALWAYS an issue. If your assets don’t show up, make a SMALL change to your readme and it will resync.
