If the problem still persists then you need to deactivate all your plug-ins. Reactivate them one at a time until you figure out which are the culprits and inform the plug-in developer. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1263616 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:45:50 +0000 iksnae 1263616@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>wtf! wordpress... this is really bad. can we get some responses from wordpress dev team? the plugins are broken, whether manually installed or not. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1238796 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:22:53 +0000 globalmacroblog 1238796@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, I am sorry, but I am new to WP, how do you "<em>move these files out of the plugins folder and into the root folder"</em> ? I have no WP folders on my Mac, and I can't find any directory under <a href="http://www.globalmacroblog.com/wp-admin/" rel="nofollow">http://www.globalmacroblog.com/wp-admin/</a></p> <p>Any help would be great as I am unable to install any plugins at all - I get the same message. Do you know if this will ever get fixed, it seems people have had problems for months now. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1170608 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:21:05 +0000 styzer 1170608@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>WP 2.8.3 and plugins</p> <p>As someone mentioned, some plugins will only install manually like we used to do before the automatic install feature. </p> <p>Unzip the plugin folder and upload it via FTP into the wp-content/plugins/ folder. </p> <p>Make sure you ONLY upload the plugin folder:</p> <p>wp-content/plugins/askimet = good<br /> wp-content/plugins/askimet/askimet = not good</p> <p>That's why the header can't be found, it doesn't seem to discard the "shell" folder.</p> <p>Hope this helps!</p> <p>styzer </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1169405 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:53:22 +0000 aquamonster 1169405@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've already solved this - for any plugins. I wrote an article <a href="http://www.ijstyles.com/wordpress-2-8-issues-how-to-solve-plugin-does-not-have-a-valid-header/">here.</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1154451 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:36:01 +0000 mattlay 1154451@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I was able to activate it by moving it manually into plugins. When you use the installer it has a file and within it there were multiple folders ie. screenshot and the one I needed. Moved it out of that folder into plugins and it activates. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1154437 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:26:20 +0000 mattlay 1154437@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Having the same issue here.</p> <p>WPMU 2.8.3<br /> Buddypress 1.0.3 </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1152703 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:16:33 +0000 rghedin 1152703@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>No official solution yet? I really can't get along with this trouble. Some plugins, which have many files into folders, doesn't work with tips said above.

A quick switch from tags/2.8/ to /trunk/ does NOT resolve this issue either, just in case anyone in a similar setup was thinking of trying. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1111508 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 04:28:21 +0000 Showfom 1111508@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p><a href="http://showfom.cn/how-to-solve-the-plugin-does-not-have-a-valid-header-for-wordpress-2-8/">http://showfom.cn/how-to-solve-the-plugin-does-not-have-a-valid-header-for-wordpress-2-8/</a></p> <p>I find another way to solve this problem. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1109411 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:54:56 +0000 rfruchtman 1109411@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>My plugins look fine within the the plugin listing in the WP8.0 Dashboard, but am getting tons fo spam since the upgrade.</p> <p>Yes... the Askimet seems to be activated, but not working well. </p> <p>I am wondering if the rules have changed.

Just move plugin files to /plugin root. For example:</p> <p><code>/wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php</code></p> <p>Move akismet.php to</p> <p><code>/wp-content/plugins/akismet.php</code></p> <p>Your plugins' folder will be a messy, but at least missed plugins will come back and work.</p> <p>Anyway, I'm still waiting an official solution from Automattic. WP 2.8.1, may?</p> <p>[]'s! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1105715 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:28:56 +0000 rghedin 1105715@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Same here, and I upgraded WP via automatic method too.</p> <p>[]'s! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1102074 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:02:36 +0000 jpadie 1102074@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>likewise...<br /> and further the forcibly deactivated plugins no longer show up in the plugin list. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278925#post-1100805 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:53:46 +0000 Andresams 1100805@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have the same problem when I try to enable any plugin.
