+## AI IDE Configuration
+
+This repository includes configuration files for various AI-powered development tools:
+
+- `.aiconfig` - General AI configuration (model preferences, ignore patterns)
+- `.augmentignore` - Ignore patterns for Augment
+- `.cursorignore` - Ignore patterns for Cursor

 ## Determining Version Increment
 
 After fixing a bug, determine the appropriate version increment:
 
 - **PATCH** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 1.6.1): For most bug fixes that don't change functionality
+  - **IMPORTANT**: Always increment the patch version for every change, even small ones, to make rollbacks easier if issues are found in testing
 - **MINOR** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 1.7.0): For bug fixes that introduce new features or significant changes
 - **MAJOR** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 2.0.0): For bug fixes that introduce breaking changes

 Although this plugin consumes minimal disk space, and doesn't run unless you are on the /wp-admin/plugins.php page, you don't need to keep it active or installed if you don't have this notice to clear — but it is safe to, if you just want it as a part of your overall WordPress stack of enhancements and conveniences.
 
+### How do I fix the "Plugin file does not exist" error in WordPress?
+
+This error occurs when WordPress has a reference to a plugin in its database, but the actual plugin files are missing. Our plugin provides a simple one-click solution: it adds these missing plugins to your plugins list with a "Remove Notice" button that lets you safely remove the database reference.
+
+### Why do I see "The plugin has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist"?
+
+This error appears when you've deleted a plugin's files (via FTP or file manager) without properly deactivating it first through the WordPress admin. WordPress still thinks the plugin should be active but can't find its files. Our plugin helps you clean up these references.
+
+### Can this plugin fix errors after migrating a WordPress site?
+
+Yes! After migrating a site, you might see plugin errors if some plugins weren't transferred correctly. This plugin will help you identify and clean up those references without having to edit the database directly.
+
+### Is it safe to remove plugin references that show "Plugin file does not exist"?
+
+Absolutely. If WordPress is showing this error, it means the plugin files are already gone, and you're just cleaning up a database reference. Our plugin uses WordPress's standard functions to safely remove these references without affecting other plugins or site functionality.
+
+### How is this different from manually editing the database?
+
+Manually editing the WordPress database is risky and requires technical knowledge. Our plugin provides a safe, user-friendly way to remove plugin references directly from the WordPress admin interface without any SQL knowledge or database access.

+# WordPress.org Plugin Submission Assets Guide
+
+This document explains how to prepare and upload assets for WordPress.org plugin submission. This is the main reference document for all asset-related information.
+
+## WordPress.org SVN Repository Structure
+
+When submitting a plugin to WordPress.org, you'll work with an SVN repository that has this structure:
+
+```
+/assets/         # Contains assets for the WordPress.org plugin page
+    icon-256x256.png
+    icon-128x128.png
+    banner-772x250.png
+    banner-1544x500.png
+    screenshot-1.png
+/tags/           # Contains tagged releases
+    /1.6.27/
+        [plugin files]
+    /1.6.26/
+        [plugin files]
+/trunk/          # Contains the current version of the plugin
+    [plugin files]
+```
+
+## Right-to-Left (RTL) Support
+
+For languages that read from right to left (like Hebrew and Arabic), you can provide RTL-specific versions of your assets by appending `-rtl` to the filename. For example:
+- `banner-772x250-rtl.png`
+- `icon-256x256-rtl.png`
+
+Note: `-rtl` is specifically for Right-to-Left language support, not for dark theme versions.

+# WordPress.org Plugin Submission Assets Guide
+
+This document outlines the requirements for assets when submitting a plugin to the WordPress.org plugin repository.
+
+## Asset Requirements
+
+### Icon
+
+- **Format**: PNG
+- **Size**: 256x256 pixels
+- **Filename**: `icon-256x256.png`
+- **Location**: SVN `/assets` directory (not included in the plugin zip)
+- **Optional**: You can also include `icon-128x128.png` for backward compatibility
+
+### Banner
+
+- **Format**: PNG
+- **Sizes**:
+  - Regular: 772x250 pixels (`banner-772x250.png`)
+  - High-DPI: 1544x500 pixels (`banner-1544x500.png`)
+- **Location**: SVN `/assets` directory (not included in the plugin zip)
+
+### Screenshots
+
+- **Format**: PNG
+- **Naming**: Sequential numbers (`screenshot-1.png`, `screenshot-2.png`, etc.)
+- **Location**: SVN `/assets` directory (not included in the plugin zip)
+- **Important**: The number and order must match the descriptions in the `readme.txt` file
+
+## Current Status
+
+### Icon
+- ✅ SVG source available in `assets/icon/icon.svg`
+- ✅ PNG files created in `assets/icon/icon-256x256.png` and `assets/icon/icon-128x128.png`
+
+### Banner
+- ✅ Both sizes available in `assets/banner/`
+- ✅ Properly named files: `banner-772x250.png` and `banner-1544x500.png`
+
+### Screenshots
+- ✅ One screenshot available in `assets/screenshots/screenshot-1.png`
+- ✅ Screenshot description in readme.txt updated to reference only one screenshot
+
+## SVN Directory Structure
+
+When submitting to WordPress.org, your SVN repository will have this structure:
+
+```
+/assets/
+    icon-256x256.png
+    icon-128x128.png
+    banner-772x250.png
+    banner-1544x500.png
+    screenshot-1.png
+/tags/
+    /1.6.27/
+        [plugin files]
+    /1.6.26/
+        [plugin files]
+/trunk/
+    [current plugin files]
+```
+
+## Action Items
+
+1. Ensure all files follow the proper naming convention
+2. Upload all assets to the WordPress.org SVN repository in the `/assets` directory using these commands:
+
+```bash
+# Copy assets to WordPress.org SVN assets directory
+cp assets/icon/icon-256x256.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
+cp assets/icon/icon-128x128.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
+cp assets/banner/banner-772x250.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
+cp assets/banner/banner-1544x500.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
+cp assets/screenshots/screenshot-1.png /path/to/wordpress-svn/assets/
+```

 Although this plugin consumes minimal disk space, and doesn't run unless you are on the /wp-admin/plugins.php page, you don't need to keep it active or installed if you don't have this notice to clear — but it is safe to, if you just want it as a part of your overall WordPress stack of enhancements and conveniences.
 
+= How do I fix the "Plugin file does not exist" error in WordPress? =
+
+This error occurs when WordPress has a reference to a plugin in its database, but the actual plugin files are missing. Our plugin provides a simple one-click solution: it adds these missing plugins to your plugins list with a "Remove Notice" button that lets you safely remove the database reference.
+
+= Why do I see "The plugin has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist"? =
+
+This error appears when you've deleted a plugin's files (via FTP or file manager) without properly deactivating it first through the WordPress admin. WordPress still thinks the plugin should be active but can't find its files. Our plugin helps you clean up these references.
+
+= Can this plugin fix errors after migrating a WordPress site? =
+
+Yes! After migrating a site, you might see plugin errors if some plugins weren't transferred correctly. This plugin will help you identify and clean up those references without having to edit the database directly.
+
+= Is it safe to remove plugin references that show "Plugin file does not exist"? =
+
+Absolutely. If WordPress is showing this error, it means the plugin files are already gone, and you're just cleaning up a database reference. Our plugin uses WordPress's standard functions to safely remove these references without affecting other plugins or site functionality.
+
+= How is this different from manually editing the database? =
+
+Manually editing the WordPress database is risky and requires technical knowledge. Our plugin provides a safe, user-friendly way to remove plugin references directly from the WordPress admin interface without any SQL knowledge or database access.
