Review - Incorrect Stable Tag #24

Closed williamfridh closed 2 months ago

williamfridh commented 2 months ago

In your readme, your 'Stable Tag' does not match the Plugin Version as indicated in your main plugin file.

ERROR: Readme Stable tag and header versions are different 1.1.0 != 1.2.1 readme.txt - Stable tag: 1.1.0 pattern_friend.php - Version: 1.2.1

Your Stable Tag is meant to be the stable version of your plugin, not of WordPress. For your plugin to be properly downloaded from WordPress.org, those values need to be the same. If they're out of sync, your users won't get the right version of your code.

We recommend you use Semantic Versioning (aka SemVer) for managing versions:

Please note: While currently using the stable tag of trunk currently works in the Plugin Directory, it's not actually a supported or recommended method to indicate new versions and has been known to cause issues with automatic updates.

We ask you please properly use tags and increment them when you release new versions of your plugin, just like you update the plugin version in the main file. Having them match is the best way to be fully forward supporting.

Adjust the incorrect stable tag. It's now set to 1.2.1.
