    Hmmm, this is odd. Sorry for this issue. I double checked and tested on the latest version of WordPress and was able to update without any errors.

    How are you attempting to update the plugin? Are you updating via the “update” button within the WordPress admin? Or are you uploading the files via FTP?

    @joelworsham,

    I just downloaded and installed this on my multisite and tried to “network activate” and get the same error. The wordpress version is 4.7.2

    Seems like it happens only after initial install. I went to the plugins link and hit activate and it worked just fine. Weird.

    I have the same problem… when installing it said that “The plugin does not have a valid header ”

    I go back to plugin pages and then i can activate it

    Version 1.6.12 plugin with WP 4.7.2 is working okay. Lost track of time over 2-weeks and cannot remember what the resolution was. Plugin is providing a great experience.

    Unfortunately I have no resolution to this. I cannot reproduce this error and it seems to be mostly uncommon.

    After doing some research I discovered it is probably related to some caching involved on the server itself. This article explains more thoroughly: https://scotty-t.com/2011/03/28/fix-for-the-plugin-does-not-have-a-valid-header/

    At the very least, it does seem to work fine, as you said, by going to the plugins page and activating there.

    Sorry for any inconveniences.
