I recently published a WordPress plugin but all the links of plugin page (Description, Installation, FAQs, Screenshots etc) has same two line description I used in readme.txt. Although, I properly filled up the readme.txt template. But it is not picking up anything else except description.

plugin description showing in changelog too

Ok, but what's the link to the plugin? So we can see the svn files... – brasofilo Dec 18 '12 at 13:26

I took a snapshot. Consider adding it to the Question, so it is clear what happened. – brasofilo Dec 18 '12 at 15:23

Consider validating your readme.txt using readme.txt validator wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/validator – M-R Dec 21 '12 at 15:43

Interesting bug you provoked out there :)

The only thing I see missing is the "short description" located between the License URI and the ==Description== block.

It is used in the Header area: enter image description here

While you are at it, take a look at this article: The Plugins directory and readme.txt files. And also this one about Header Images and screenshots.

Putting the short description fixed it. – M-R Dec 18 '12 at 15:53
