    Hi –

    Just came across this plugin and it’s exactly what I need. However when I try to Activate, I am getting an error message

    “The plugin does not have a valid header.”

    I’m currently using 5.9.3 but about to upgrade to 6.0

    Any and all help appreciated! ??

    Hi @mtngeekuk I’m now looking into this. It looks like the plugin is stored in the wrong structure on the WordPress plugin repository. I’m working on a fix.

    @mtngeekuk I’ve investigated further and it looks like the plugin folder structure has somehow changed on the WordPress plugin repository. When installing, it adds a folder called ‘trunk’ which should not be there. This causes the error you are seeing. Deleting the trunk folder solves the problem, but obviously thats impractical.

    Its very frustrating as noone can install this plugin right at the moment. I’ve contacted [email protected] to see if they can look into my repository issue. Watch this space, and apologies for the inconvenience.

    Am I able to download the plugin zip, remove the trunk folder then upload and install?

    Am happy to do that on my site while you get the repository sorted.

    @mtngeekuk Yes, that will work fine. In fact here is one I prepared earlier. This should install fine. [ Link removed as a new V1.0.4 is available to install ]

    @mtngeekuk The plugin is now fixed and I’ve released an updated version 1.0.4 tested with WordPress 6.0. You can install via the plugin repository.

    Thanks for highlighting the issue so that others can benefit also. Enjoy the rest of your week.
