Im trying to install this plugin.

https://github.com/JonMasterson/WordPress-Post-Like-System

I uploaded the folder in plugins folder (plugin does not show up in plugins page in admin dashboard)

I tryied to upload plugin via plugin page in wordpress dashboard but it says.

The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Plugin install failed.

What am i doing wrong?

If you look at the code the top of post-like.php contains
```
Name:  WordPress Post Like System
Description:  A simple and efficient post like system for WordPress.
Version:      0.5.2
Author:       Jon Masterson
Author URI:   http://jonmasterson.com/
License:
```
Compare that to the minimum required https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/plugin-basics/header-requirements/#minimum-fields

Plugin Name versus Name
```
/**
 * Plugin Name: YOUR PLUGIN NAME
 */
```
But regardless – this is old – take a look at the issues here https://github.com/JonMasterson/WordPress-Post-Like-System/issues

Plugin is working but i cant see the plugin menu in dashboard. Does anyone know what the problem can be?

“Likes” menu here: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b1ed97d48898023585223996978bba52d732c232ed0a463f976ee43e89b8f6ad/687474703a2f2f6a6f6e6d6173746572736f6e2e636f6d2f77702d636f6e74656e742f75706c6f6164732f67656e6572616c2d73657474696e67732e6a7067

Because there is no code to do that – it was never released – read the description

Coming in November December January? Soon
We have been working hard on many updates to this system, two new plugins, and documentation. It’s taking a bit longer than expected, so please bear with us.

That was 5 years ago.

Good luck – but I really think you are just digging yourself hole.

This Post Like System will soon be offered as a free and premium plugin. The free plugin will have everything the current system does, but will be easier to manage from the WordPress admin (no more implementation errors). The premium plugin will offer AJAX widgets for Most Liked Lists that will update & respond to likes without a screen refresh, and can be managed from the WordPress admin.
