Hi, I am trying to install simple-press via wp backend. When I go to activate, I get the error “The plugin does not have a valid header.”
Wondering why, can you help?
Thanks!
It does – of course – have a perfectly valid header. One of the reasons this sometimes happens with WP plugins (any plugin) is copying it in twice – or a glitch occurring while it was being copied in;. This can cause WordPress to add a number to the end of the plugin folder name.
If possible can you check your plugins folder (wp-content/plugins) and make sure that the simple-press folder created is, in fact, named ‘simple-press’ and also that there are not two folders with the same plugin inside as there must be only the one.
I have same issue but plugin only has one folder and no number or duplicate. Any other solution we can try?
potentially corrupt archive then… for detailed help, please open topic in the support forum…
