# 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.
## Asset Requirements

## Submission Process
1. **Prepare Plugin Files**:
- Ensure all plugin files are ready in your local repository
- Make sure version numbers are consistent across all files
2. **Prepare Assets**:
- Ensure all assets follow the naming conventions above
- Verify that screenshots match the descriptions in readme.txt
3. **Upload to WordPress.org**:
- When you receive SVN access, use these commands:
```bash
# Check out the repository
svn checkout https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/
# Copy plugin files to trunk
cp -r [your-local-plugin-files]/* fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/trunk/
# Copy assets to assets directory
cp .wordpress-org/assets/icon-256x256.png fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/assets/
cp .wordpress-org/assets/icon-128x128.png fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/assets/
cp .wordpress-org/assets/banner-772x250.png fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/assets/
cp .wordpress-org/assets/banner-1544x500.png fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/assets/
cp .wordpress-org/assets/screenshot-1.png fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices/assets/
# Add new files
cd fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices
svn add --force trunk/*
svn add --force assets/*
# Commit changes
svn commit -m "Initial plugin submission"
```
