 * I am getting the error “Plugin has no valid header” upon trying to activate the
   plugin. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, and even tried removing the entire plugin
   via FTP then reinstalling…still get the error.
 * I do not have jetpack installed, never did.
 * Using Genesis Framework with Metro Pro child theme.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Really strange…today when I went back in to begin trouble-shooting, before I 
   did anything, I simply clicked to activate the plugin and now it works…go figure.
