Strange mass "plugin has invalid header" deactivation warning

    I’m really not sure what has caused this problem. No updates have been made to wordpress, no new plugins installed. No configuration changes.

    I got up this morning and noticed the front-end of my site looked odd. I logged into the backend and went to plugins and had about eight “invalid header” warnings and about eight of my 12 plugins were deactivated. Now they don’t even show up in the list of plugins (active or deactivated), even though they’re present if I use terminal to log into the server.

    Has anyone else had this issue happen before? Again, none of them have been recently updated.

    The plugins which are present but no longer visible:

    widget-logic
    simple-local-avatars
    wp-mail-smtp
    tinypass
    jb-weather-widget-2
    post-reading-time
    jm-twitter-cards
    google-author-link
    page-links-to

    Did you try to use pingtools for a scan?
    The other week I had the exact same problem, some of my files were deactivated, and I found out with a pingtools scan http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ that these files were not found because their adresses changed by magic… I hope it is not your case (because I had no other solution to uninstall and install a fresh wordpress again (nobody wanted to help me lol))
    but you should just use the pingtools scan, maybe you will notice something wrong and will be able to fix it

    I just deleted them using terminal, then reinstalled from the plugin installer. They appear to be working fine now.
