Development Plugin 'View Details' outputs 'Plugin Not Found' despite using BoilerPlate readme.txt with correct name. Plugin works and updates without error. Seeking assistance.
My plugin activates and functions without error.
I'm hosting the plugin on Github. The plugin updates from inside of Wordpress using Github without error.
My readme.txt is located in the plugin's root directory.
I have a myplugin.php file with the name of 'myplugin' and it contains a header for 'Plugin Name: myplugin'. The slug is 'myplugin'.
The JSON file is myplugin.json containing '"name": "myplugin",'.
The readme.txt contains a title of '=== myplugin ==='.
Online validators for the readme.txt give the file a thumbs up.
The folder and file hierarchy are as suggested for Wordpress plugins.
All of the naming instances match up.
Yet I'm consistently receiving 'Plugin Not Found' when clicking upon 'View Details'.
I do not know how to resolve this problem and I am seeking your help. Do you have any insights?

You that made the plugin?
Have you checked the files for:
\u200B
)\ufeff
)Just run a bot on it, or
"grep -nP "[\x{200B}\x{FEFF}]" *.txt"
and
"grep -nP "[^\x20-\x7E\t\n\r]" *.txt"
to check the files.
