# Plugin Not Updating After Commit

 * Yesterday (and again this morning) I committed a new version of a plugin I own.
   Versions in the readme.txt and plugin.php were updated. The plugin web page has**
   not** updated to reflect the new version though. It remains stuck on 1.1 even
   though I have committed 1.2 (and then 1.2.1). Am I missing something?
 * My developer activity page correctly reflects the changes [https://profiles.wordpress.org/sentimens/](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sentimens/).
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-not-updating-after-commit%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

   shows 1.2.1 now.
 * It can take up to 6 hours to cache correct (which is mentioned in the FAQ – [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-developer-faq/#how-long-does-it-take-for-the-plugin-directory-to-reflect-my-changes](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-developer-faq/#how-long-does-it-take-for-the-plugin-directory-to-reflect-my-changes))
 * Looking at the changelog, you neglected to properly update the files to show 
   the stable version was 1.2.1 until just a few hours ago – [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?new=2231795%40turnstile&old=2231769%40turnstile](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?new=2231795%40turnstile&old=2231769%40turnstile)
 * So that would be why.

 * It seems as though I needed to update the readme.txt in the trunk/ directory 
   to get the plugin page to update.

 * That is correct. The readme.txt in the /trunk directory specifies the “Stable
   Tag”, which is pointing to a directory in the /tags directory, which is where
   it will pull the plugin from.
 * Here’s the ideal development scenario. You make your changes to your plugin. 
   The latest and greatest version of the plugin is in /trunk. When you want to 
   release that plugin, aka tagging a version, you copy /trunk to a new version 
   number in the /tags directory.
 * Here’s the right way to do that:
 * 1. Check out your plugin:
 * `svn checkout https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/pluginname ./pluginname`
 * Now, you will have a copy of your plugin in the pluginname directory.
 * 2. Make whatever changes to /trunk you like. Update the readme.txt and the plugin.
   php file with correct versions.
 * 3. Now, when you’re ready to tag your version, you do this:
 * `svn copy /trunk /tags/1.2.3`
 * Or whatever the version number is.
 * 4. Once you have double checked all your changes, and are sure all the files 
   are right, then you commit the entire plugin directory, like so:
 * `svn commit /pluginname`
 * And it commits the whole thing. The updates to the plugin in trunk, the tagged
   copy with a version number directory, all of it in big go. Works great.
