valid header issue on ALL plugins?

  • Clicked to update 3 plugins in my admin today and received the following error message for all of my installed plugins.

    The plugin [insert name of plugin here] has been deactivated due to an error: The plugin does not have a valid header.

    We run a variety of commonly used plugins (Akisment, Gravity Forms, SEO Ultimate, Visual Composer, etc.) so I find it awfully convenient that each one suddenly does not have a valid header.

    My plugins folder is intact, and I have only been dealing with this error over the last two days. We restored from a backup that was built before the error – but when I re-entered the plugin directory to update this AM, the error once again was created.

    Anyone else experience this? Are there folders or locations I need to check to find a file? How do I fix this?

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    UPDATE: site was recovered by simply restoring the database – so something is being changed there. Does that make life any easier for troubleshooting this?
