 * I was interested to test out your plugin, but got an error trying to install 
   it.
    Pasting the install screen text below… =====
 * Installing Plugin: Page Management 2.0
    Downloading install package from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/page-management.2.1.zip…](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/page-management.2.1.zip…)
 * Unpacking the package…
 * Installing the plugin…
 * The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
 * Plugin install failed.
 * =====
 * Need to test on a fresh wordpress install yet, could it be my particular test
   site and a conflict with existing plugin(s)? Just a heads up in case its an error
   with the plugin itself. Will post back if I find it works on a fresh wp install.

 * Thank you for trying my plugin.
 * It looks like the unzip hasn’t worked.
 * I would guess that other plugins don’t install properly?

 * Same problem here. Other plugins install fine.
 * Looking at the contents of you zip, there’s no php file in the root of your zip,
   so it’s not recognized as a plugin.

 * Apologies for not responding earlier…and thanks mpmchugh, for the diagnosis.
 * Yes, other plugins were installing and working fine when I tested this one.
    
   It looks like a great tool, though at the time I just needed a quicker, easier
   way to rearrange a bunch of pages rather than manually changing the “Order” number
   page-by-page, and found another plugin similar to yours that did that one-off
   job.
 * I do also like the idea of the added dropdown in the Visual Editor to give access
   to ALL [shortcodes] available (assuming thats every shortcode, whether created
   via the current theme or all currently activated plugins?), that seems a useful
   enough idea to even have broken out into its own plugin (if there isn’t one already
   with this functionality)!
 * I’ll test it again soon I hope, and I’ll give a shout out to confirm its working,
   but it was just for a quickie job at the time…

 * It now installed.
 * However, the checkbox for adding the shortcodes drop down completely removed 
   the Visual Editor toolbar.

 * Thank you for your advice. Are you using tinymce? Have you got any other tinymce
   plugins?
