Banner not visible after plugin publishing

I published a first small plugin on wordpress.org. I tried to follow all steps but the banner does not appear.

  1. I named my banner like this : banner-772×250.jpg
  2. I commit with svn on the assets folder on the root

Notice : The icon is visible.

what could be the problem ?

Topic svn plugins Wordpress

Category Web


The problem was :

I generated images with Illustrator, I got this before saving the image :

enter image description here

translation : "Some file names contains caracters no latin. These names won´t be incompativél with servers and Web browsers"

The problem was, I copied the name from a Web page and that created a non latin caracter.

When I named manually banners with the x key, The name files were different, look at this : enter image description here


If you are trying to specify the image (icon) that is shown on the plugin's page, then try naming the image file icon-128x128.png/jpg .

Banner images are

Normal Banner: banner-772x250.(jpg|png)
Normal Banner (RTL): banner-772x250-rtl.(jpg|png)
High-DPI (Retina): banner-1544x500.(jpg|png)
High-DPI (Retina RTL): banner-1544x500-rtl.(jpg|png)

See https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-assets/

If the banner (or icon, different things, I know) doesn't show up on the plugin listing page, perhaps the updated info hasn't been synced.

You could try changing the version number in the plugin and readme to see if that will update things. Don't know if just uploading/svn-sync the assets folder will change things on the plugin settings page.

Also, this post seems to indicate that you need two versions of your banner image to support retina displays:

banner-772×250.png
banner-1544×500.png
