    I’m trying to create a plugin, I’ve made a folder in plugins and inserted a php file named like the folder in it.

    in the main php I’ve inserted the description comment like this
    /*
    Plugin Name: My Plugin Name
    Plugin URI: http://www.example.tld
    Description: My Plugin Description
    Author: Me
    Version: 1.0.0
    Author URI: http://www.example.tld
    */

    When I go in the Plugins page I can see my new plugin but the name is not the one I’ve inserted in Plugin Name but are ALL the data I’ve inserted and in a single line.
    Something like: Plugin Name: My Plugin NamePluginURI:http://www.example.tldDescription: My Plugin DescriptionAuthor: MeVersion: 1.0.0Author URI: http://www.example.tld

    Anyone could give me a hand?

    What if you copy this straight out:

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Hello-World
Plugin URI: http://yourdomain.com/
Description: A simple hello world wordpress plugin
Version: 1.0
Author: Me
Author URI: http://yourdomain.com
License: GPL
*/
?>

    Does that work? Did you include <?php and ?> in it?

    Yes I’ve inserted the php opening and closing tag.

    If I copy/paste your code in a new file I get the same error…

    BUT I’VE FOUND THE SOLUTION 🙂

    My text editor was saving the file in “MAC” (oh my gosh… and think that I hate them so much…) endline format, so I’ve converted to Unix and now is fine 😉
