 * Hi Biffly,
 * You’re getting that when Activating the Self Hosted Plugins plugin, or when trying
   to activate a plugin you’re hosting with SHP?
 * Cheers

 * Can you do me a favour and edit the file self-hosted-plugins/lib/fakepage.php
   and remove the header comments from the top of that file and let me know if that
   fixes the problem?
 * Thanks
    Trevor

 * I had the same issue and I can verify that removing the plugin headers from fakepage.
   php solved the issue.
