 * Hi,
 * After installing this plugin, I click on the Activate button and it came back
   after few second with an error: “The plugin does not have a valid header.”
    I
   go back to the list of plugin and activate from there and it went OK; but then
   the customized list of Twenty Fourteen didn’t expanded with new item for styles.
 * Please advise.
    Thanks, Henry.

 * I might have found something that’s causing this. Please try deleting the Styles
   plugin via `WP Admin > Plugins > Styles > Deactivate/Delete`, then reinstall 
   from `WP Admin > Plugins > Add New`.
