Plugins not showing on plugin-install screen

[alvarogois]

Not sure if this is a Meta issue, nevertheless, it could be related to the plugins directory. I was doing a plugin search on plugin-install screen of a 4.7.2 site and got a strange behaviour: the search didn't return all the items available. The number is right – 5 items –, but I can only see 4 items on te screen: ​http://g.recordit.co/yMeHcCzUSY.gif

There are actually only 4 plugins in the (current) directory matching that search, so not sure why your listing says there are 5 items.

The first item on Plugin Directory is different from the one I get in my site' search. In fact, it's the title that's wrong, the description, thumb and author are fine.

I searched for: lh-private-content-login (​https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-private-content-login/)
The first plugin in plugin-install is a mix of the former and this one: ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/

That's odd behaviour.

What locale do you have this install set to? Could be a locale caching issue there as well.

Looks like there's an issue with the API, it says "results":5, but returns only four of them, see the screenshot.

Here's the query I used:
​https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.1/?action=query_plugins&request[search]=lh-private-content-login

[alvarogois]

@SergeyBiryukov the first result I get here ​http://g.recordit.co/yMeHcCzUSY.gif is truncated, the plugin name is the wrong one, though thumb, author and description are OK. There're actually 4 results for that query.

Replying to alvarogois:

Just wanted to note that we've got a similar report on support forums:
​https://ru.wordpress.org/support/topic/мой-плагин-в-репозитории-не-мой/

"hiWeb AdmiMenu" was displayed with a wrong title "Free Landing Pages Builder by Wishpond" when searching from an admin with ru_RU locale, until the (previously untranslated) plugin title was translated into Russian.

@tellyworth Have you had a chance to look into this?

This issue seems fixed on 5.2 aplha. But maybe it was even before. Searching for "lh-private-content-login" gives back 5 results and lists 5 items.

[tellyworth]

Presumed fixed.
