Unable to publish Figma plugin

Hi ​@cmouchet, 

I understand that you’re experiencing an issue when trying to publish an update to your plugin. You’re seeing the “INVALID_AUTHOR” error in the console, and the Author (Share As) field in the publishing modal appears empty, preventing you from continuing.

Thanks for sharing those details. While we wait to see if other community members have additional insight, I’ll also check on this internally and will follow up once I learn more.

Thanks,

​@Junko3 The same  Problem ，The console keeps triggering verification when I open the publishing window
 

This problem occurred again today. It was okay yesterday

Hi ​@maqibin,

Thanks for flagging!

I’ve gone ahead shared your case internally as well, we’ll update when I hear back anything.

I’m seeing the same issue

I have the same problem

This is a Figma-side issue. The INVALID_AUTHOR error happens when the plugin’s author data fails to load, which is why the “Share As” field is empty and locked. There is nothing you can fix locally. You need to wait for Figma to resolve it or contact Figma Support to have the plugin author association refreshed.

+1. Facing the same issue

+1, cant publish any updates since yesterday evening

Hi Figma Team,

I'm encountering a blocking error while trying to publish an urgent update for my plugin, iTailwind (ID: 1586682727528531603).

I recently updated some information in my account settings, which seems to have triggered a security flag. Since this update is critical for my current users, I need assistance in validating my account status so I can resume publishing.

I have already:

• Checked my account settings for missing fields.

• Tried re-logging into the Figma desktop app.

Could you please help me unlock the publishing capability for this plugin?

Thank you!

Ever since today I am unable to publish my plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1465483905491954235/upbuilder-figma-to-webflow-plugin-no-auto-layout-needed

I am getting this error. Why? It gets stuck on the final publish panel and doesn’t show any errors. I had to open the development console to see those errors. 

Im trying to publish Plugin Update, but i get loop in error spam 9000 prints in just few seconds...

 
​​​​​​When i click error for a brief milisecond i see an error message “Please fill out required fields and correct any errors” it clears instantly but all required fields are filled.
 

I have the same issue!

Same here, my topic: 

Hi everyone, Celine from Figma here, and I am working closely with Junko on this! Thank you everyone for flagging this.

We’ve escalated this internally and the team is actively investigating. Appreciate your patience while we look into it.

Same issue, I can’t publish my plugin.

I was able to publish, thanks!

Thanks for confirming, I am glad it’s working on your end now!
