It is possible to add a gif file in the readme.txt file of wordpress plugin in the wordpress.org plugin repository?
My plugin url is https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-toggle-comments-form-fields/
I don’t want the image in the screeshot section – I need the image in the description section.
I know that i can insert a video but in my plugin a little gif will be ok…
While I cannot remember on top of my head live example of plugin with a gif, there are quite a few with videos and at least ones using animated PNG as header (AJAX Comment Loading).
So I would say — yes you can, but no guarantee it will end up well. It’s not explicitly forbidden or allowed either. 🙂 Might be better to load gif from plugin too (like screenshots) and not as external resource.
